Very unique photo, I really like it.

i am amazed at your ability to get handheld shots at such slow shutter speeds. perhaps you are bracing the camera on something?

haha... the painting is really irrelevant to "bed and breakfast".... it could be a hostel or hotel sign, but definitely not "bed and breakfast".

how inviting it looks.. ;)

So dirty.. I like it : )

The 'via Francigena' is a road leading to Rome; as a tradition, on the occasion of the jubilee year, believers cover the whole distance on foot. It's really long, it starts in Switzerland and then touches Piemonte, Lombardia, Emilia Romagna, Toscana, Lazio and then arrives in Rome.

This is really funny! Such a pristine sign on such a decrepit looking wall full of a variety of cement mixes. I love your sense of humour - your recognition of the odd.

francigena bed & breadfast in bolsena, italy. [breadfast?!] ;)

I like the color and texture of the wall and the composition you make out of the tiny sign. Its impeccable finish on top of so much decay I find very funny.

Low speed, low f. , handheld - yet so sharp! almost too good to be true...

I agree with jesse warren. I couldn't pull off a shot with such clarity @ f4 w/o a tripod. The clarity and tone in this shot are great.

a jewel in the ruff, nice.

Strange contrast between the cute sign and the decaying wall. Interesting texture and tones !

Cute picture!

Anyone else notice that the hole in the plaster near the bottom, directly beneath the sign, looks like the traveller in the plaque? Looks like a mouse pretending to be a traveller :)

(..or is it so blindingly obvious no-one thought to mention it?) :D

As simple an observation as this may be, I like how bright the tile is. It's a great contrast to the surrounding elements.
