Does Ponte a Serraglio look cold in this photo?
It should. It was still zero at 10.00am this morning.
Once the sun hit the village it warmed up considerably.
If you look in the bottom right of the photo you can see a pair of cormorants who have taken up residence with a few of their mates.
I am quite sure that I will never tire of looking at Ponte a Serraglio…whatever the weather or the season.
Beautiful photographs, I loved the shadows and reflections in the river. It seems cold like here dear Debra. Thank you, love, nia

It is cold, but it is very beautiful. The misty mornings make everything look quite mysterious.

Your photos are incredibly beautiful Deb. A long way from the temp here in Brisbane. Very humid and very warm, sleeping with the doors and windows open and no sheet. Enjoy x

I like the cold mornings, especially when we have a blue sky to follow.

Beautifully captured Debra. I hope you wrapped your hands around a hot chocolate after that photo shoot. Thank you. Helen

It looks stunning! I’d put up with those temps to live there, and no, I don’ think you’ll ever get tired of that view!

The river is very still at the moment, but it occasionally turns into a fierce torrent.

I guess that the double cappuccino and the double sfoglia were fully justified.

I admit to having 2 cappuccinos, but I try to stick to 1 sfoglia.

I echo Celia’s view – those are such beautiful photographs Deb. I find such weather invigorating – providing of course that one can be warm and cosy inside and warmly clad outside.

I really like to stand in front of the heater while looking out of the window to the village.

You have inspired me to want to visit. We will be in Firenze in June and would love to end our trip spending a few days there. Can you tell me how far from Pisa Airport the town is. Thank you.

Bagni di Lucca is about 1 hour away from Pisa airport. June is a great time to visit.

It looks VERY COLD!! and some of those first photos look like paintings…like Murillo or something. Amazing. Other worldly. From another time, too.

I have been staying at Casa Debbio inVergemoli and the house sits in sunshine all day. It is interesting to drive down to the valley in the mist.

Looks like a postcard for some winter vacation-land. Was that ice on the river?…Surely those birdies are so cold….
Buon Natale!!

Sometimes the edges freeze, but the water is moving so it doesn’t get a chance to freeze all over. I worry about the birds’ legs in that cold water.
