Beware crabs bearing gifts

A few more Capri pictures that I’ve re-scanned. Some of these I’ve uploaded to Flickr in the past, but others never left my hard drive (in their original form).

Today a trio of shots of some of the high-end fashion outlets in Capri Town, none of which I ventured inside. I’m uninterested in fashion at the best of times, so my attraction was purely to whether I though a decent photograph was present.

I’m not sure which store the crab was working in…

Hardware

There’s something interesting about hardware stores, in particular the more traditional variety such as the one pictured here today. They always seem to have busy storefronts, not only with a window packed with tools, fasteners, devices, and gadgets of all kinds, but also with a spillover onto the pavement. They also have that nice earthy smell about them, a distinctive mix of wood, chemicals, and plant fertilizer.
