The Ponte Vecchio

Beautiful memories - The Vecchio Bridge (Ponte Vecchio) is the oldest and most famous bridge in Florence Italy. Locals and tourists love to visit this beautiful bridge that spans the Arno River and to browse the jewellery shops that are located on the bridge.

ooooh..I have lovely memories of this as well. So beautifully captured Peter. The reflections and light are wonderful. It was several years ago, but seeing your lovely image brings it back like it was yesterday. Thank you!

Didn't get to Florence but Venice had lovely bridges too! This is a really nice POV looking down with the light on the water!

This bridge is a personal favorite and beautifully captured in this photo!
Great that you've shared it!

Beautiful scene - putting that place on my bucket list :)

Lovely image!

[Jo Henn]

Well captured. It looks so peaceful. (Which was not my experience of Florence, although I loved it.)

[Lisa Poland]

Beautiful! Did you see the famous statue of David? We had the worse time finding that museum.

Always special...quite cold colours, was it in winter?

[☆Rachel☆]

Stunning! Love the tones and the POV. The reflection is pure icing on the cake. FAV for me.

[Margaret Obey]

One of my favourite places. I first saw it from an observation point above. This photo is wonderfully evocative.

Beautiful! My brother got married in the north of Italy (Santa Margherita Ligure) in 2008 so afterwards I went with the boyfriend on a 2 week road trip, ending up in Rome. I love Florence! Mmmm...must dig out those photos and go on a trip down memory lane.

Such a beautiful shot, Peter. Fav!

[Taffy]

How beautifully framed by the line of the river and the houses along the banks.

[Sandy]

You seem to find lots of very beautiful scenes to capture. Interesting bit of history too. I've never heard of shops on a bridge before. Is it just a walking bridge (no traffic)?

[Ivan]

Beautiful place, POV, bridge, super edit. Fav. We were there a couple of years ago.

[Ken "Tasian"]

Peter...another excellent shot on all accounts. Italy wasn't on my short list of places to visit but your photos are definitely make me rethink my plan!
