Florence

This is the second time I've been to Florence since we've been living in Italy and I still haven't gotten to see as much of it as I would like. This trip I focused on the main area, taking pictures of some sights I'd seen before and also going to the Accademia, where the statue of David is at. I was disappointed to find out you couldn't take pictures of David, but it didn't ruin my trip.

Ok..let me just preface this post by saying that I am not able to edit with Photoshop as it is being shipped to me, so I'm not 100% happy with the editing on these. That being said, here are some of my views of Florence.



The campanile right next to the Duomo. It stopped raining for a few minutes and blue sky appeared.



I love taking pictures of the different door knockers.



Bicycles on the square



Reflection of the Duomo in one of the many puddles



Locks on the Ponte Vecchio bridge



A quiet street in Florence



I actually took this picture on my last trip, but it is the best picture I have of the Duomo.



The ceiling of the Duomo. It depicts the Last Judgement.

Hope you enjoyed some of my views of Florence!

Photograph Friday

First of all I'd just like to say thank you to everyone who gave their honest opinion and commented yesterday, I really do appreciate it. I will still be doing Etsy posts in the future. One bad incident will not keep me from posting those, so if you enjoy them, don't worry, I'm not getting rid of them.

Now, in honor of my trip to Florence tomorrow (I'm going to the Accademia, where the statue of David is) I decided to post a picture from my last trip to Florence.

I love street art and this guy was very talented. It's amazing to me what people can create with an empty sidewalk and some chalk!
