Watching tourists, Firenze

Firenze, Flash the Mime

Unfortunate angle, Firenze

Sometimes one just happen to not concentrate where one takes pictures and what one aims at when having the happy snappy tourist syndrome. And me being short  and then there is giant public sculptures - don't stand so close to it when taking pictures: limited points of view.  Wooaaah!!!!  I am amazed at how much detail one can carve in stone ;-)  

Funny story though, my mother said that she came to Italy in the 70's, and being an Afrikaans girl living in a very conservative, censored and isolated South Africa then, these sculptures shocked the hell out of her :-D

Colour, Firenze

I don't know this lady but  I was mesmerised by the colours she wore. It stood out between all the people and the grey walls. Also it is reminiscent of the ice cream (gelato) that we ate a lot of.
