Finest in Florence

Hello again! We’re back in Florence today, for a look at the outer courtyard of one of the many museums in the city. We were unable to go inside the museums, being in the city for only a very brief time – but just check out these decorations! Here are a few more, to give you an idea of what the courtyard looked like and … Continue reading Finest in Florence

Terracotta Tones

I have a university assignment on the go at the moment, so in an attempt to put doing that off as long as possible….today, you join me on a trip to Florence – where the weather was fine, the buildings bright and the squares bustling. My troupe of travellers went and had a look at the Ponte Vecchio and wow, was it pretty! I loved … Continue reading Terracotta Tones

Hidden Majesty

Hello! It’s been a while. A loooong while – as always, my excuse is “Life is sooooo busy! GAAAAAAWD!” Now, for today’s pictures – bask in the wonders of a famed landmark in Florence, the beauty of the Duomo or Florence Cathedral… These buildings are always immense, and yet somehow remain completely obscured from view until the last moment. They pop up out of seemingly … Continue reading Hidden Majesty

A little slice of Paradise

Sometimes in travel it is the little accidental experiences that provide an incredible memory – as it was with the absolutely wonderful night my fellow travellers and I spent in the little Tuscan province of Montecatini. While some of the other tour members went for a dinner at a pre-booked venue, my small crew decided to take the tour guide’s advice and catch the funicular … Continue reading A little slice of Paradise

NOW IS THE TIME!!!! So, here you go… The arched windows, especially those on the right on the salmon coloured building … Continue reading Arches all around

Brother Buildings

When photographing streets, it has become a favourite thing of mine to find those buildings that have a similarity to them that unites them while at the same time being very unique. These two buildings lining a street in Venice fit the bill perfectly. The view may not scream Venice specifically but I just couldn’t walk past such brightness! Until tomorrow people – another day, … Continue reading Brother Buildings

Coloured Canal

So yesterday we got home from walking a HUGE shopping centre all afternoon before watching a movie and discovering it was 12am so instead of blogging I went straight to sleep. SORRYYYY 😛 Today, I hope I can make up for it with this….Another iconic location I can now tick of my bucket list is Venice, Italy – my parents and youngest brother spent a … Continue reading Coloured Canal

Only A Moment

The greatest advantage of the two-week bus drive that made up part of the five week European sightseeing journey my parents and brother enjoyed was that even between cities we had spectacular views. We weren’t obliged to watch the road and so could drink in every wonderful thing on the roadside. The following  three images are little snapshots I caught as we flew by the … Continue reading Only A Moment
