Travel Photo Friday : Florence
Welcome to another Travel Photo Friday! Can you believe it is July already? Where has the year been going?!
Since we have been focusing on Rome for the better part of two months, I thought it might be nice to change it up a bit.
So, I chose one of my favorites from Florence, Italy.
Now, keep in mind, this photo was a color image, but through the magic of Macbook iPhoto editing, I am able to give it a sepia tone, which if I do say so myself, makes the picture come alive.
I love how the bridge acts as a perfect separation from the sky and the river. I love the cloud patterns, the texture of the ripples on the water, the gorgeous lines and arches of the bridge and even the tiny shadows on the water created by the arches.
I could seriously stare at this one for hours.
And if you'd like to see more of my photos, is just so happens that Julie is featuring another of my Rome beauties on her blog today as well.
And in case you haven't noticed, my Travel Photo Friday well has run dry and I need your photos. That was the whole point afterall.
So, all you travelers out there- please send in your photos-the ones that tell a story, the ones the feature something spectacular, the ones that give you that special feeling when you look at it, along with a short description and you'll be featured here!
Send them along to me at mymelange (at) yahoo (dot) com. And join me for next months edition on August 7th.
And to all those celebrating, Happy July 4th!

I have never had the great fortune to be able to travel outside of the United States, but this photo makes me wish more than ever that I could see that view with my own eyes. Wonderful photo.

Thank you Kate!! And if you put your mind to it, you cango anywhere internationally. On any budget. Of that, I am convinced. You will getthere someday…wherever it is that you choose to go!

That is a stunning photo, Robin. You’re right, the sepia tones make all the difference. It looks as though its awash in golden sunlight.
