I liked this capture, so many pieces of the whole appealed to me. The time worn bricks, the blue shutters, the moss covered roof tiles, the aspargus fern hanging over the side, the peeling aged plaster and the Arno River below with the Ponte Vecchio Bridge framing it. This was My World in Florence in February 2009. Please stop by and visit others blogs this week. The My World meme is hosted by Klaus Sandy Ivar Wren Fishing Guy Louise and they do a great job.

LOVE the new header shot .. and what effect did you use to get the softened/pastel happening?
Oh I love how you made this a bit softer. I am blown away by the beauty you discovered and now are sharing. I wish to see it for myself someday too.

Your Florence photos are wonderful. They really tell the story of a beautiful city.
Just lovely, it has the familiarity of that long time lived in look.
