Frank, whose fab blog is “Dutch Goes the Photo”, has set “MIRROR” as the topic for this week’s Photo Challenge.
See https://dutchgoesthephoto.net/2017/02/07/tuesday-photo-challenge-mirror/
Coincidentally, only the day before the challenge was set, I had been photographing some mirrors in “Fratelli Klainguti” in Genoa. My husband and I were there for a few days and visited this old establishment because it had been frequented by one of my all-time heroes, Giuseppe Verdi, who apparently enjoyed a “Brioche Falstaff” or two.
So here are a few photos of the place, including mirrors, featuring Don (hubbie) and myself (in one!) as well as my travelling bear, Andre, enjoying a spot of Brioche. (Mad? Most certainly – all the best people are!)
No selfie sticks or mobiles were used in the making of these images so hopefully I cannot be accused of taking selfies (gggggggggrh!!)

Not usually my sort of thing, but if it was good enough for Verdi ……. it was touted as filled with hazelnut paste but I think my taste buds got about a nanosecond’s worth !! 🙂
