More Ponte Vecchio, Duomo, the Uffizi Gallery, the famous Botticelli paintings, from the waist, since they don't allow open snapshooting for some reason. I really enjoyed Florence a lot. Here are good articles on Florence and its Duomo |
( For full Screen: PC's, press/toggle F11. Mac's, maximize screen. )
First sculpture at Uffizi entrance (3rd flr) |
Athlete with vase, Roman copy of Greek orig'l |
Botticelli's Primavera |
The Botticelli's are under glass, alas. |
Goddess Flora on right. Distortion is from shooting from waist. |
The Three Graces - Detail from photo - grainy |
Botticelli's Birth of Venus. Their frame choices were interesting. |
At Uffizi Museum window, 'Dying Alexander' |
Once identified as 'Dying Alexander' but now not so sure |
From Uffizi Museum window, more on trio |
From Uffizi cafe, thru' their wall. People climbing the bell tower |
Palazzo Vecchio tower to my right from Uffizi cafe |
Near exit, we were able to see over the wall |
Fun lens reflection. (From other side of bridge - 300mm zoom) |

Horse and carriage around Duomo/Cathedral too |
Many sculptures up there |
The full picture half in sun, for reference |
Mary, in the setting sun |
Painting under that. Odd looking sculpture above her. |

Saints? |
Another view of cathedral |
Interesting Madonna and Child |
