Another view from atop the dome of the Basilica di Santa Maria del Fiore in Florence, Italy -- in Infrared (IR).
Be still let your hand melt into mine.
The part of me that breathes when you breathe is losing time.
I can't find the word to say I'll never say goodbye.
I'll fly with you through the night so
you know I'm not letting go.
I'm not letting go.
My tears like rain fill up the sky.
Oh my love I'm not letting go, I won't let you go.
I saw the host of silent angels waiting on their own.
Knowing that all the promises of faith
come alive when you see home.
Hold still and let your hand melt into mine.
I'll fly with you through the night so
you know I'm not letting go.
I'm not letting go.
My tears like rain fill up the sky.
Oh my love I'm not letting go, I won't let you go.

The Chapel of the Madonna of the People, with the statue of Madonna with Child, by Vincenzo Cadorin, inside Il Duomo, in Verona.
Beneath the statue stands an urn containing the thorn with which martyrs St Fermo and St Rustico were supposedly killed.
Verona’s Duomo was consecrated in 1187, having been built on the site of an ancient Christian structure, and has served as one of the city’s many centres of religious devotion ever since.
It has been worked on for almost all of its 825-year history, with major restoration carried out in the 15th and 16th centuries and the bell tower added in 1927.
The interior is a mixture of architectural styles, from Romanesque in its lower levels to Gothic the higher up you go, which each chapel has its own individual feel.
There is a grand organ and artwork by the likes of Titian and Falconetto decorating the interior.
The Duomo is part of a larger cathedral complex with the churches of San Giovanni in Fonte and Sant’Elana, the latter built roughly over the location of a fourth-century basilica.
Recent restoration has involved the restoration of the frescoes and the lighting system.
The tower of Verona's Duomo and the bridge of Ponte Pietra seen from the convent above the Roman Theatre which houses the archaeological museum.
Verona’s Roman Theatre (Teatro Romano) sits to the north of the River Adige, across the water from the historical city centre.
Built in the first century BC, it was built over in the following centuries before being cleared and restored from 1830 onwards, with only the Church of Santi Siro e Libera left standing.
The theatre still holds plays and operas, while if you climb up through the seating you reach the Museo Archelogico in the buildings of an old convent, containing Greek, Roman and Etruscan finds.

Ponte Pietra (the Stone Bridge) is a Roman arch bridge crossing the River Adige to the north of the old city centre in Verona.
It was completed by the start of the first century BC and provided access from the city to the Roman Theatre on the slopes of Veronetta.
German soldiers destroyed much of the bridge as they fled at the end of the Second World War, with restoration taking place in 1957, using original materials.

An eastward view of Florence, Italy from atop the Basilica di Santa Maria del Fiore. Here, you can clearly pick out three other Florentine landmarks: Basilica di Santa Croce, Bargello, and Badìa Fiorentina. Admittedly, there's really nothing special about this shot, but I really like how this turned out processing-wise. It has sort of an old and worn-out picture/postcard look withOUT the addition of any textures (not that there's anything wrong with textures...). What do you think?
A gold statue of Mary stands at the highest point of Il Duomo. We were told that the Milanese measure the air quality on a given day by whether they can see the statue from afar.
Detalle de una gárgola situada en la parte alta de la fachada de la Catedral de Milán, más conocida por Il Duomo.
Esta catedral tiene gárgolas que representan a animales fantásticos, lo que lleva a embellecer algo tan vulgar como un desagüe.
FULL MOON
One night as Dick lay fast asleep,
Into his drowsy eyes
A great still light began to creep
From out the silent skies.
It was the lovely moon's, for when
He raised his dreamy head,
Her surge of silver filled the pane
And streamed across his bed.
So, for a while, each gazed at each-
Dick and the solemn moon-
Till, climbing slowly on her way,
She vanished, and was gone.
Walter de la Mare
De la Mare is not, as I thought, a French poet, but an English one! He lived from 1873-1956 and was active as a poet, novelist and writer of short stories. He was a descendant of the French Huguenots, hence his very French name...
I continue to be amazed at the riches I learn from just peeping around the corners of my small world when I place my photos. How could I have missed this wonderful writer? It's the same here as everywhere: Small discoveries for me, the individual, but what a benefit in happiness can be derived from searching a bit!
W.J. de la Mare has written quite a few, mostly more serious, works and poems and I shall hopefully use another one of them with my photos.
It's FULL MOON today, or rather tonight..... Had to wait a long time for my moment of glory; missed it in November!!!

One from my travels across Tuscany a couple of years ago. I loved the Tokina 11-16mm lens - but had to sell it to put towards the Nikon 14-24mm. I still think the Tokina holds its own against any other professional wide angle lens.
Camera: Nikon D300s
Lens: Tokina 11-16 ƒ/2.8 ATX @ 11mm

The church of San Giorgio in Braida is a Renaissance Roman Catholic church in the area of Verona known as Veronetta, to the north of the city centre, across the River Adige.
The dome was designed by Michele Sanmicheli, while the rest of the church is decorated with a white marble façade, lined by two rows of columns.
The bell tower dates from the 12th century and a monastery built on the same site, while the bells within are from 1776 and were used to develop the art of bell ringing in Verona.
Within the church are works by Jacopo Tintoretto and Paolo Veronese among others.

The Museo dell'Opera del Duomo (Museum of the Works of the Cathedral) in Florence, Italy is a museum containing many of the original works of art created for the Cattedrale di Santa Maria dei Fiore, the cathedral (Duomo) and the Battistero di San Giovanni (Baptistery of Saint John) in Florence. The museum is located just east of the Duomo, near its apse. It opened in 1891, and now houses what has been called "one of the world's most important collections of sculpture".
In this, a lesser-known Michelangelo pietà, The Deposition, it is not the Virgin Mary who is holding Jesus' body, but rather a group made up by Nicodemus (or possibly Joseph of Arimathea), Mary Magdalene, and the Virgin Mary. There is some indication that the man in the hood is based on a self-portrait of the artist, Michelangelo. The sculpture, also known as the Florentine Pietà, is housed in the Museo dell'Opera del Duomo in Florence.

Duomo di Siena, Cathedral of Siena.
The inlaid marble mosaic floor is one of the most ornate of its kind in Italy, covering the whole floor of the cathedral. This undertaking went on from the fourteenth to the sixteenth centuries, and about forty artists made their contribution. The floor consists of 56 panels in different sizes.
This panel: Hermes Trismegistus, floor mosaic. He is the representation of the Greek god Hermes and the Egyptian god Thoth. Both Thoth and Hermes were gods of writing and of magic in their respective cultures. Associated with mystical knowledge.

Florence Cathedral, formally the Cattedrale di Santa Maria del Fiore ("Cathedral of Saint Mary of the Flower"), is the cathedral of Florence, Italy (Duomo di Firenze). It was begun in 1296 in the Gothic style to a design of Arnolfo di Cambio and was structurally completed by 1436, with the dome designed by Filippo Brunelleschi. The exterior of the basilica is faced with polychrome marble panels in various shades of green and pink, bordered by white, and has an elaborate 19th-century Gothic Revival façade by Emilio De Fabris. The basilica is one of Italy's largest churches, and until the development of new structural materials in the modern era, Brunelleschi's dome was the largest in the world. It remains the largest brick dome ever constructed. After the Cathedral's principal architect Arnolfo di Cambio died in 1310, work on the cathedral slowed for thirty years. When the relics of Saint Zenobius were discovered in 1330 in Santa Reparata, the project gained a new impetus. In 1331, the Arte della Lana, the guild of wool merchants, took over patronage for the construction of the cathedral and in 1334 appointed Giotto to oversee the work. Assisted by Andrea Pisano, Giotto continued di Cambio's design. His major accomplishment was the building of the campanile. When Giotto died the January 8th of 1337, Andrea Pisano continued the building until work was halted due to the Great Plague in 1348. In 1349, work resumed on the cathedral under a series of architects, starting with Francesco Talenti, who finished the campanile and enlarged the overall project to include the apse and the side chapels.
