Bridges on the Arno

Photo by Stephen Bohn
A view of the famous Ponte Vecchio and several other Florentine bridges spanning the Arno, as seen from the Vasari Corridor of the Uffizi. This 1 kilometer long "secret passage" was commissioned by the Medici family to connect the Uffizi with the Pitti Palace.

Standing on the Ponte Vecchio overlooking the Arno River on a beautiful September day, I shot this scene on my first trip to Florence.

The large expanse of sky seemed to lend itself to the addition of a texture made from a photo of a stucco wall.
