The only photograph of Florence you will ever need.

You cannot go to Florence without seeing Michelangelo's David. 

It's hard to describe how truly epic this sculpture is. No photograph can truly capture it's emotion and passion.

Except, maybe this one:
From the Women's Restroom at the Accademia.

More Florence

While we were in Florence, we also visited the Piazza del Duomo. Wikipedia says this is one of the most visited places in Europe, and boy, I can believe it. 

Exterior shot, including the lines to get in.


The whole thing is flipping gorgeous!
I did the best I could with my little iPhone.

Magnificent! 

On the way to the altar.

A beautiful, peace side chapel.
You get the altar, then look up, and Wow!

God and Jesus being awe-inspiring.


The Bapististery, with the famous Gates of Paradise by Ghiberti. MAGNIFICENT!
