| Reflection of the Ponte Vecchio, Arno River, Florence, Italy © Doug Hickok All Rights Reserved (Click on image for larger view. Velvia slide film) Not the usual take on Florence Italy's famous Medieval bridge, but I like the bit of mystery evoked by not showing the whole structure. The Ponte Vecchio was constructed in 1345, replacing a series of older bridges that dated back to the Roman era. It still has several levels of bustling shops, as it has had throughout its history. You can see some of the tourists in the open archways reflected in the Arno. |
