The morning after, Firenze

I got the blues, Firenze

Whilst in Firenze I met a man by the name of Tommaso. He is probably one of the most inspiring humans I've spent time with. His passion for music, food, wine, love, life and happiness was completely infectious. I spent three days in his company and left a new person after it all. He is from Firenze and is crazy about the blues. So, at 5:30 in the morning, after a long night of vodka and dancing the zorba in our underwear, we sat down and shared the blues together. Absolutely brilliant...

Tuscan countryside, Firenze



I literally blacked out with my camera in my hand for about half an hour the afternoon I took these photos. I took so many of this field just outside of Firenze with the light setting on it. I couldn't choose only one or two to put on the blog so I just did a whole bunch.

Lovers' Locks, Firenze

Along the bank of the River Arno, close to Ponte Vecchio, are a whole bunch of locks attached to chains with the names of couples written on them.

Ponte Vecchio, Firenze

Ponte Vecchio is the old bridge in Florence that crosses the Arno River. Built in the Middle Ages, it is one of the only bridges that the Germans didn't destroy on their retreat out of Florence during the Second World War. Since the 16th century, it has always been home to goldsmiths' and jewellers' shops, and this is still the case today.

The Duomo, Firenze

Whilst in Firenze I made a point of taking a photo of the Duomo every time I walked past it. It is a spectacular cathedral! These were some of the best shots...

Off to Florence

I leave for Florence tomorrow. Spending the weekend there with some friends. Looking forward to getting back to Firenze, I have very fond memories of the place! Photos to follow on Monday evening...
