The beautiful and private Phoenix Square in Chiavari

La bella e riservata piazza fenice nel centro storico di Chiavari

The beautiful and private Piazza Fenice in the historic center of Chiavari.
One of the most beautiful squares in the historic center of Chiavari, not so frequented by passers-by accustomed to strolling along the alley, with its beautiful buildings (including the famous Palazzo dai Portici Neri, behind in these photos).
I like to come and see it every now and then and I think it is one of the first posts on my site dedicated to this place.

The phoenix on the roof of a building in Hue, Vietnam

The phoenix on the roof of a building in Hue, Vietnam.
I really like these statues, which almost always depict mythological animals, and I always photograph them.
This is one of the many in the Imperial city of Hue, in Vietnam, and it depicts a phoenix and below it a dog/dragon.
I tried to search online to see if they have a particular name (like the Gargoils on the roofs of Notre Dam) but I was unable to find anything.
To tell the whole truth, they remind me a lot of the designs and colors of the Mayan statues that I saw in Mexico a few years ago in Coba (even though I know that they have nothing to do with it).
