Description
Florence - Ponte Vecchio from Uffizi.
Ponte Vecchio shot from a window on the second floor of the Uffizi Gallery.The view of the "Old Bridge" from this place and height is particularly beautiful, as you can admire the peculiarities of this wonderful structure: its overhanging buildings, the corridor of the Medicis coming from the right bank into the bridge, and five other bridges over the Arno, behind it.
Once again I was lucky to enjoy this sight under a splendid sky. I was also fortunate enough to realize that window offered such beautiful view, as inside the Uffizi it is really hard to get your eyes away from so many magnificent paintings and sculptures.
There is a Vintage version of this image.
What can I say about Florence that has not been already said... If you care for beauty at all, you should visit Florence at least once.
To me, it was a place to forget about myself in troubled times and to live outwards for a few days, surrounded by all this overwhelming beauty that embraced and quietly rocked me. Florence took care of me and sent me home, not healed, but with hope of healing.
I spent five days in Florence by myself. I took the time to wander these old streets that transformed and filled the fate of medieval Europe with hope, as it did with me. I sat on stairs, or by the river, spent long time in the Loggia, by the sculpture of the Rape of the Sabine Women, which fascinates me, took the time to read, to reflect, to wait, and to return to the right places at the right time to get the right light.
I believe shot some of my best pictures ever on these days I spent in Florence while my heart bled. To me, this old city has become specially dear, and so have the pictures I shot, so I might not be too objective about them. You can judge for yourselves...
One thing I do know. I will return.
