A family European trip - food in Milan, Italy

The first time I took pizza and pasta in Milan, I doubted if it's a real Italian restaurant. On the 2nd and 3rd trying, it turned out what we have in most Asian restaurants are really local "adaptations" which in general are with heavy cheese, sauce to overwhelm the original flavour of fresh pasta or aromatic dough of pizza....etc. My sister took all these photos bringing back my nice memory of the fresh pasta flavour and original dough aroma of pizza. I somehow got amazed an egg was put on top of the pizza. My sister claimed it's a very nice one. See the pasta. It's not heavily seasoned or in much sauce, not even with drowning olive oil. Simply some fresh herb to go with it.

A Family European trip - Day 1 in Milan

OK, the journey continued on my sister's trip to Europe. The below photos were taken with Leica D-Lux 3 and a Canon 400D. See if you can tell which ones are from which one. FYI, Leica's color is more "raw vivid" and D-Lux 3 would boost up the light source in some way when it's set in auto. The Canon 400D kit lens with a lens hood and a UV filter lens which is good for taking this kind of sunlight photos.

The below are the center area of Milan. The big mall is just next to Duomo (the big church).

A family journey to Europe - 1st stop Milan

At the courtesy of my sister, I'd like to share some of the photos taken by her and her daughter at their recent family trip to Europe. Photo 1/2. Taken 4-5 hours after take-off. This area should be at the border of North West of China. It'd be at around 3-4am and the summer sun light was already there. 3/4. Landing Milan Airport. Miss this place so much. Check the mountain range which is very close to the border of Switzerland and the mountain is still with some snow on the top. 5. Duomo - Milan big church. See that blue sky. I didn't change anything on the photo. It's straight out of the camera and the setting was F11 at 1/320 seconds.
