Buonanotte

 

Stars of San Niccolò

Torre San Niccolò and his Advent stars 🙂

Nocturnal walk

To leave the restaurant after dinner and after dark, and to pass this overwhelming sight on one’s way home… Magical…

Aliens at Piazzale Michelangelo?
No, just a telescope 🙂

Heavy skies

I say buonanotte with another of my night shots from Piazzale Michelangelo. And I thank you for following this little blog and liking my posts!

Buonanotte

Dreamy Duomo from Piazzale Michelangelo.

La luna

A lamppost in Piazza Santa Croce and a very small moonslice.

Tuscan dusk

Good night from Piazzale Michelangelo!

Buona notte

Vista Duomo

Duomo, belltower and baptistery on a sunny afternoon.

And a few hours later…

Would love to go back on a night like this with my tripod.

Heights

The afternoon and evening was all about heights. First Fiesole, which originally was an Etruscan city climbing up a steep mountain north of Florence.

At the very highest spot is the San Franceso monastery.  The monks have a view to die for. And daily excercise for free. 😉

Piazzale Michelangelo at the south side of the Arno river, is a lot easier to reach and crowded with tourists all day.  The view is spectacular and perhaps it is from here that Florence is as most beautiful.

Michelangelo’s David is to be found here and there all over Florence. The original is indoors in the Accademia museum, but this copy seems to be guarding the city, gazing out over it from his elevated spot.

I’ll say goodnight with a photo of the Duomo, Brunelleschi’s dome and Giotto’s belltower. A view impossible to get tired of? I know I never will.
