Wonderful rainclouds were adding drama and atmosphere to Florence's waterfront. It was early enough that only a very few people were out and about, peacefully crossing the bridge on this quiet morning under a moody sky. For the history and a detail view of this marvellous Renaissance bridge see my other version here: www.flickr.com/photos/44548980@N00/431798607/ ....
