It was overcast on a recent trip to Florence. The Ponte Vecchio managed to look gorgeous just the same.
The views on the bridge and from the bridge a pretty good too.
The seagulls get to enjoy the bridge from every angle.
Of course they are much more interested in eating than taking in the view.
I just love Florence in winter. Such still grey water. Superb Debra.

It is one of my favourite promenades in Florence: through the Ponte Vecchio, looking at all the beautiful jewelry pieces (particularly the antique and vintage ones) and then, lunch at Bordino. Winter or summer, sunny or overcast, it is always a delight. Your photos look great, Debra.

I agree, it doesn’t matter what the weather is like, the Ponte Vecchio always shines. I did have lunch at Trattoria Bordino.

I miss Florence, its a beautiful city. I think the best part is walking along the river which you have captured here. I like your 2nd picture the best =)

It wasn’t too bad, it was overcast most of the day, but I have been colder in Florence.

Debra, these photos are just gorgeous…so incredibly painterly…almost better, yes I think so, because of the cold and overcast sky. Such saturated colors. Fantastic.

I can only echo everyone else’s comments and say, what beautiful and evocative images! The reflections are superb, especially the second one. I have only been in Florence in the summer, and would love to visit it when it is NOT hot and crowded. Sounds wonderful.

Wow! You’ve constantly managed to capture such fascinating angles of the Ponte Vecchio. I love the mirror-like reflections of the bridges and the houses, the glassy river and the ripples surrounding the seagull. These are what makes you such a fascinating photographer. The combination of possessing a good camera and a keen artistic eye is unique indeed. I look forward to more!

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful… the place and your pictures, I fell in love with Florence when I was 17 -agons ago- and still makes me sigh.
The reflection of the bridge is a fine shot.

[…] Arno is not always blue, but it was the day I took this photo of a lone rower from the Ponte Vecchio. I love the ripples left behind by the oars. It could also have been in the White category because […]
