once you've been (and we stayed just across from Dante's statue), Florence becomes a part of your imagination and dream life. We've been 3 times to this magical city.
"La gloria di Colui che tutto move
per l'universo penetra e risplende
in una parte più e meno altrove."
"The glory of Him who moveth everything
Doth penetrate the universe, and shine
In one part more and in another less."
Incipit from "Dante Alighieri's Paradiso"

Hikers heading for an overlook, 5,475 feet above the floor of Death Valley. They will look down on the lowest point in North America (-262 feet).
Dante's View is a viewpoint terrace at 1,669 m (5,476 ft) height, on the north side of Coffin Peak, along the crest of the Black Mountains, overlooking Death Valley. Dante's View is named from Dante Alighieri, who wrote the Divina Commedia (Divine Comedy), in which there are described the nine circles of Hell, the seven terraces of Purgatory and the nine spheres of Paradise. ... The group was immediately persuaded and promptly called this point Dante's View. Dante’s View is the primary overlook in Death Valley National Park because it offers premier panoramic views. Below Dante’s View is Badwater Basin, the lowest point in North America. Across the valley rises Telescope Peak, the highest in the park. Under the morning light, the views are breathtaking in every direction. It feels like cheating to be able to drive right up to such amazing views.

Dante’s View, Death Valley, California
A view of the salt flats from the mile high perch of Dante’s View. The golden hour sunlight has lit foreground shrubbery and the slopes below us.
Lo duca e io per quel cammino ascoso
intrammo a ritornar nel chiaro mondo;
e sanza cura aver d’alcun riposo,
salimmo sù, el primo e io secondo,
tanto ch’i’ vidi de le cose belle
che porta ’l ciel, per un pertugio tondo.
E quindi uscimmo a riveder le stelle.
(ovviamente Dante Alighieri - Inferno)

Death Valley, California. It was 118 degrees when I pulled into Furnace Creek, and still not at the lowest point of Death Valley. Up here I overlook Badwater, a big flat of alkali that is the drainage bowl of the mountains. Ever so often, a waft of hot air comes up from 5000 feet below me, and it doesn't feel right. I wonder if it was the fiery sunsets or the idea of an inferno in the Valley that inspired the name of this overlook. It's a severe place. What charachterizes this hard desert? Hurt, disappointment, heartache, broken dreams? It's interesting that people describe hell as being down below somewhere, when actually we carry it with us no matter the altitude. I am thinking it's gotten a bad reputaion, when another blast of hot air hits my face.
Looking down into Death Valley, near Badwater Basin, from Dante's View on Black Mountain. From this elevation the salt water flowing slowly through the basin can be seen, as well as a small pond. Standing at ground level none of this was visible.
The long lost ancient sea that deposited all the sediment and salt appears to be roiling again.
