Beautiful shot as always...You travelled a lot in Italy!!
Is this the "Ospedale degli Innocenti" by Filippo Brunelleschi? (Brunelleschi is the same who projected the Florence cathedral dome)

Beautiful colours. Piazza della Santissima Annunziata, one of my favourites. This is the Ospedale degli Innocenti (Hospital of the Innocents), which used to be the orphanage that also took in abandoned babies (hence the babies represented in the Brunelleschi round terra cotta sculptures). Fittingly, it now houses a daycare centre and other organized activities for children.

:) funny

It is god's house. If I couldn't see the man and a car, that house is not made for human. lol

I really like the treatment of the sky here.

That car looks impossibly small : )

Your signature sky is apparent once more!

beautiful shot - regretfully I spent most of my time in Florence thrift store shopping rather than sight-seeing :/

Interesting. It looks like a place that would normally be crowded with people.

How interesting to note that Italians can build an entirely boring facade. How come the sky is black?

Stunning shot! Love the composition and the colouring.

Great job with this one.

love this framing!

to be honest i dont really like this one i like it when your shots are busier and theres a lot going on so i cann look around and see all the cool stuff but here it's just a big open area with a symetrical building not one of my fav's but still love your work sam

hey sam, looks like you got some good traveling in recently, sweet stuff. did you hear about d. onley? he fell and broke his arm pretty bad and hasn't been to work for a few months, but i hear he's slowly recovering. anyways, keep up the pics man, see ya.

hey there,

I am from Vancouver BC. I enjoy your photography. Just wanted you to know you have a random follower.

stumble upon affinity...

boring way to capture an even more boring image.

I love the symmetry in this shot and the scheme of colours. Thank you for all the beautiful pictures from your trip to Italy - I've always wanted to go there, so this is the next best thing!

i love it.

and there's plenty of parking available.

Love this shot. Very nice processing.

This was my favorite piazza when I studied in Florence. I lived down the street on Gino Caponi and I went to church right next door to the building in this photo just about every day. Thank you for sharing your photos and for bringing back so many wonderful memories for me!
