Taken in Naples, Italy, a number of years ago, late one afternoon. I was startled by the sight of this hearse, whose horses trotted through the intersection so fast, I barely had time to turn on my camera and shoot this photo.

It was definitely an eye-catcher, Avril. I couldn't speak enough Italian to ask if this was how all the wealthy people go to the grave, or this person was particularly rich...Gord MacEachern January 24, 2015
