A little plein air sketching, to watercolor later. I'm not coloring in this scorching sun!

Ponte Vecchio in all its magic hour golden glory, as viewed from the west, from Ponte Santa Trinita. This is the only microsecond window where there are no people in the frame.

The old bridge has three spans with stone arches, and a bunch of houses built on it (jewelry shops, really, what with Benvenuto Cellini having a bust right in the middle of the bridge). Also, a passage that some asshole rich dude built for himself, to avoid the commoners killing him when he was en route downtown. Centuries later they would invent armored luxury cars for that.
