Florence Duomo – Reflections

Well, this post is pretty much a repeat of this one, except with the photos hosted on flickr so you can click through to the larger sizes.

The Basilica di Santa Maria del Fiore, often referred to by tourist locals (if that makes any sense) as the Duomo, is the cathedral church of Florence.  Neither my words nor photos will do it justice.  It’s an awe inspiring structure. Go see it.

First up, a couple of shots to show the Duomo’s place within Florence, and give some idea of scale.

A detail shot, showing some of the ornate marble work.

Then as the sun sets, the Duomo catches the last rays of light.

Then it gets just plain dark.

But the view on nightfall is still good.
