G is for golden, just like the light shining on this medieval bridge in florence. we had a lot of ground to cover in the short time we were there. luckily everything we wanted to see was within walking distance. ponte vecchio actually means old bridge, the oldest of its type in europe. read more about it here.
if you think about it, realizing the mediterranean sea is connected to the atlantic ocean somehow makes it seem all the more accessible from long island. maybe this is stretching things, but the waters of the atlantic and this sea are actually connected! one has to wonder what it would be like to travel aboard one of those Mediterranean Cruises I have heard about. I imagine a cruise could be quite an adventure providing many interesting photo ops. and I also imagine the best time to travel the sea would be during this region's hot dry summer climate. perhaps I would get to circle around sardinia or get a glimpse of the coast of barcelona or greece. how I would love to cruise this part of europe via this "inland" sea - taking pictures all along the way.

the warm golden light is gorgeous on these old stones !
Have taken countless photos of this bridge (and thanks to the German general who refused to obey Hitler's orders to destroy it), but yours is unique for its golden hues. Well done.
It is one of the many things on my "future agenda" - now I'll have to move it further up!
And G is for Glorious, like your photo, Lily. I love the higgledy-piggledy look of some of the structures on the bridge. I bought some beautiful little coloured-leather coin purses as souvenirs in a shop somewhere there.
Great photo of this sunlit bridge! You captured this shot at just the right time,,,and a beautiful golden reflection also.
My grandmother had a painting of this bridge in her living room when I was a child. Only years later when I visited Italy did I realize where it was. Lovely lighting here.
A very lovely photo.
Well captured, Lily
Marvelous shot, Lily! Love that golden glow! Perfect for the day!
Enjoy!

Oh, my goodness! Isn't that lovely! I simply must get to see Italy on day! Thanks for the encouragement! ;)
You captured the light perfectly, Lily! May I just day again how much I'm enjoying your trip?
