Florence, reflections on the Arno River

1

On a recent trip to Florence I woke ear­ly one morn­ing to see the city before the tourists were up and about and walked along the Arno River and was amazed at how calm the water was. This per­mit­ted beau­ti­ful reflec­tions of the col­or­ful build­ings onto the water and I was enthralled. The light­ing of the ear­ly morn­ing sun hit these build­ings and the water at just the right angle to enhance the reflec­tions and cre­ate beau­ti­ful dou­ble images. While Florence is nor­mal­ly a bustling city with lots of cars, mope­ds, bicy­cles and pedes­tri­ans mov­ing about at fast paces, I sug­gest at least one morn­ing you rise ear­ly and take a walk along the prom­e­nade or side­walk par­al­lel­ing the Arno River and take in the sights and sounds of what this city may have looked like in its prime time long before the inva­sion of mod­ern traffic.

    mag­nif­i­cent pub­lish, very infor­ma­tive. I won­der why the
    oppo­site spe­cial­ists of this sec­tor do not under­stand this.
    You must pro­ceed your writ­ing. I am con­fi­dent, you’ve a huge read­ers’ base already!
