[LRflex] Re: Evening light in Firenze

Eric!
great pictures of a town I love so much. Last 2 Sunday morning I was around
Ponte Vecchio, Por Santa Maria, Duomo, Signoria square and the like with my
small S5 Coolpix shooting around. Please note that our river is called Arno
and the "Canottieri" Society is one of the oldest Society in our town. Their
base is located almost under the Ponte Vecchio since the beginning.
All of you are still very welcome to organize One Week Around Tuscany,
especially in the gold triangle Firenze-Pisa-Siena.
Eric, thank you very much for these pictures and for your thoughts
previously given. I think that every site is good to share those ideas.
