Florence Diaries 4

A beautiful spring morning

Marble statues on the terrace

Of the Bardini Gardens

Frame the Church of Santa Croce

Seen across the Arno

Hipstamatic, John S Lens, Ina's 1969 Film 

At sunset the Arno becomes a river of molten gold

Reflections of ancient buildings 

have rippled in this water for centuries.

Florence Diary 2

Monastery of San Francesco, Fiesole.

This small window of a monk's cell

Appeals for the way the light pours through

Lighting the rough plaster walls

And the simple furnishings within.

Hipstamatic, Watts Lens, Pistil Film

A rough stone cloister gives shade from the Tuscan Sun.

Everywhere you go in Florence

The Duomo dominates the scene.

Brunelleschi's dome a constant landmark

Glimpsed through narrow streets.

The Ponte Vecchio

Much loved bridge

Instant Florence.
