I came across this interesting gentleman sitting on a wall in the old section of Florence. He was traveling with his family. He says that as a merchant sailor from Scandinavia he explored the World. He jumped ship in Australia many decades ago, and has spent the rest of his life happily there. Interesting character. I think he still keeps the look of a sailor about him. He was kind enough to pose for a street portrait for me.
I fell in love with "the Land Down A Low" when I 1st went there(1970) and had the intention of moving there in the 1970's after my military obligation was up.
But "life" took me on another path. If not for that I also would have "jumped ship" for "Oz"!
Wonderful composition! G'day cobber! A ripper fer sur!
