Mosaic Monday - Scenes from Florence

I finally finished up the very last of my pictures from Italy. Yes, the trip I took back in July. At least it's done now [and I can start on the Blurb Book].

We only spent one day there, so we visited the Duomo, waiting an hour to climb the stairs up to the top of the Duomo's Dome - totally worth the wait and effort. The views from the top are amazing. We also walked to the Piazza Della Signoria, adjacent to the Uffizi, checking out the Marketplace along the way and the replica of the statue of David.

Scenes from Florence

I'm linking up to Mary at Little Red House and Mosaic Monday. There are a wonderful assortment of mosaics there today.

    Beautiful photos. I have never been to Florence myself but my daughter has and it is one of her favorite cities in the world.

    My niece was just in Florence and I want to go so badly. I hope you bought a purse. Nothing like Italian leather.
    Great mosaic.
