160909_072432_1776 Morning On The Corso Buenos Aries

Corso Buenos Aires, Milano, Lombardia, Italia

Corso Buenos Aires is a significant road in Milano; wider than most, but not as wide as some roads which form a ring around the city and radiate out from it. It runs from Loreto near the main railway station, south-west toward the main historic centre of the city.

The street runs down the side of the hotel that we were staying at. In this case I am looking north-east, back toward Loreto.

There may be nothing particularly exceptional about this shot, but again it's just a candid of the Milanese getting ready for the day ahead. It was a combination of vehicles and people that happened just once. That is, in September of a year which is by now (6 and a half years after I took the shot) long gone.

One particularly noticeable thing is that the drivers have actually bothered to turn their lights on given that the sun is not fully up yet. I can tell that I am not in the Illawarra any longer because I'm not seeing black, dark blue or grey cars driving around in civil twilight without any lights on, since the drivers think "I can see everything", without even thinking that it makes it harder for other people (other drivers, pedestrians etcetera) to see them.

And they say that Italian traffic is really bad. (Okay, they don't necessarily say that about Milano; it gets worse the further south you go.) However this is an example of excellent driver behaviour.
