Florence in all its gritty glory and grandeur.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/p>\n

Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, Florence, Tuscany, Italy | 14 Aug 2015<\/a><\/h5>\n

The Pretty Fa\u00e7ade of the Florence Cathedral<\/h3>\n

The level of detail worked into the duomo\u2019s fa\u00e7ade was amazing \u2013 an elaborate 3D wrapper with a fine mix of Gothic and Renaissance design.<\/p>\n

\"Stunning<\/p>\n

Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, Florence, Tuscany, Italy | 14 Aug 2015<\/a><\/h5>\n

Stunning Architecture of the Florence Cathedral<\/h3>\n

The duomo in Florence is a timeless piece of architecture. Dressed in an eye-catching mix of red, green and white, it looks grand even to this day and age; completion of its construction must have been nothing short of a miracle back in the 1400s.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/p>\n

Piazza del Duomo, Florence, Tuscany, Italy | 14 Aug 2015<\/a><\/h5>\n

The Casual Ambience of the Piazza del Duomo<\/h3>\n

A touch of carnival is in the air with the colourful carousel spinning in a languid eternity. Fancy restaurants surround the square from all four corners, with friendly, enthusiastic waiters beckoning you in as you peruse their menus.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/p>\n

Florence, Tuscany, Italy | 14 Aug 2015<\/a><\/h5>\n

The Grand Baglioni Hotel<\/h3>\n

Probably just another normal hotel through the eyes of a local, but I thought it looked kind of pretty.<\/p>\n

\"I<\/p>\n

Florence, Tuscany, Italy | 14 Aug 2015<\/a><\/h5>\n

I Wonder what She\u2019s Wondering About<\/h3>\n

She makes me wonder about her life, as she gazes out at the river all alone in silence.<\/p>\n

\"Serious<\/p>\n

Florence, Tuscany, Italy | 14 Aug 2015<\/a><\/h5>\n

Serious Discussion about Gelato<\/h3>\n

A rainbow assortment of flavours and colours entices from behind cold glass. To complicate matters further, there are the rows of cone and cup sizes to decide on. Hmm\u2026<\/p>\n

\"A<\/p>\n

Uffizi, Florence, Tuscany, Italy | 15 Aug 2015<\/a><\/h5>\n

A Morning at the Uffizi<\/h3>\n

A morning well spent exploring the art pieces and admiring the architecture of the grand Uffizi, albeit being herded about like sheep amongst a sea of curious fellow-tourists.<\/p>\n

\"Wandering<\/p>\n

Uffizi, Florence, Tuscany, Italy | 15 Aug 2015<\/a><\/h5>\n

Wandering Down the Hallways of the Uffizi<\/h3>\n

Loving the complex details of the ceiling in contrast to the plain geometry of the tiled flooring.<\/p>\n

\"Pretty<\/p>\n

Uffizi, Florence, Tuscany, Italy | 14 Aug 2015<\/a><\/h5>\n

Pretty Little Human Sculptures<\/h3>\n

Pretty little carvings spaced out perfectly on a wall at the Uffizi.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/p>\n

Uffizi, Florence, Tuscany, Italy | 15 Aug 2015<\/a><\/h5>\n

The Sleeping Ariadne<\/h3>\n

Returned home to the Uffizi after two centuries, this beautiful sculpture has been chiselled meticulously into the organic shape of a woman.<\/p>\n

\"Captured<\/p>\n

Florence, Tuscany, Italy | 15 Aug 2015<\/a><\/h5>\n

Captured at Corona Street 55E<\/h3>\n

Dressed in a casual singlet and shorts due to the blazing summer heat, a shopkeeper of a simple produce store takes some time to rearrange his wares.<\/p>\n

\"Lonely<\/p>\n

Florence, Tuscany, Italy | 15 Aug 2015<\/a><\/h5>\n

Lonely on the Outside<\/h3>\n

A quiet little street cafe, with an Italian menu scribbled simply on chalkboards.<\/p>\n

\"More<\/p>\n

Accademia, Florence, Tuscany, Italy | 15 Aug 2015<\/a><\/h5>\n

More than just David<\/h3>\n

There\u2019s more to see in the Accademia apart from Michelangelo\u2019s renown David masterpiece. Filled with many colourful paintings and sculptures from the Bizantine and Gothic fourteenth century, to the art of the Renaissance era, it is worth exploring further.<\/p>\n

\"A<\/p>\n

Accademia, Florence, Tuscany, Italy | 15 Aug 2015<\/a><\/h5>\n

A Sickly Tinge<\/h3>\n

Couldn\u2019t find any information of this art piece online, but it just caught my eye in a sea of paintings thanks to its comparatively neon hues, and the sickly colour of the man on the cross was interesting.<\/p>\n

\"Out<\/p>\n

Florence, Tuscany, Italy | 15 Aug 2015<\/a><\/h5>\n

Out on the Streets of Florence<\/h3>\n

An abandoned bicycle laden with a brilliant basket of fake flowers, parked casually on a
street in Florence.<\/p>\n

\"Another<\/p>\n

Florence, Tuscany, Italy | 15 Aug 2015<\/a><\/h5>\n

Another Day at the Bridge<\/h3>\n

Another picture of the bridge and brick houses in Florence, this time in bright daylight.<\/p>\n
