Sunrise in Florence, Italy
The Arno River, Florence
Digital cameras keep getting better, but there's something I find romantic about film. This fuzzy shot was from a disposable camera I toted through Italy and multiple Italian rainstorms (yet lasted!).
P.S. For the full effect, try this Puccini aria (used in A Room with a View), about throwing oneself into Florence's Arno River over tormented love. Dame Kiri Te Kanawa's voice makes me weepy.
i love the softness that film gives a picture. you can try to recapture that with picnik or photoshop or something like that, but film just gives off this natural glow. so pretty!
Beautiful pairing. I just listened to that song and stared at your photo and now am feeling quite relaxed. Loved that movie btw. Kind of feeling like pulling out one of my old polariods now.
Thats such a pretty picture. Did you scan it? Oh.. and that Jumping pic was from your blog! I had pinned it onto pinterest when I saw it and I forgot it was from you. So funny. Have a great day!
Your picture is wonderful. What a scene to take in!! I love the disposable cameras, too. Digital is great, but there's nothing like the old school. I guess I'm officially getting "mature". oy
Beautiful shot of The Arno River. I love my disposables too:-)I haven't seen that movie although the name does sound familiar though. Maybe, when i get a breather, i'll check it out. Hope your Thursday was great! XX
Wow!! Did you really take this picture? I'm just speechless, it's suc a gorgeous view and such a gorgeous sunset! Must've looked completely surreal in person too!
Me and my bestfriend are planning a trip to Italy and we want to stay in Florence. We are still saving but we know we want a gorgeous hotel to stay at. Any one know of one.
'A room with a view' one of my faves, Jude! Visual & romantic delights!!

ReplyDeleteFlorence's Arno! I know it well as I used to look out over it every day when I lived in the city -- which really is like living in a postcard!
ReplyDeleteNice shot and extra points for the disposable camera!
