Cathedral of Florence - a photo on Flickriver

            Basilica di Santa Maria del Fiore.  From start to finish it took 140 years to complete construction with the 1st stone being laid in 1296 and the completion of the dome in 1436.

I have previously posted images of this building - from different vantage points.

This was an interesting shot for me as we were walking through Boboli Gardens and I thought there would be a good perspective of the Duomo from there - but there was always something obstructing the view.

For this shot, I actually had to put the camera through a fence of bars and push it as far to the left and as high as I could so that I could minimize the impact of the trees.

It wasn't what I was exactly hoping for, as the brown building in the middle blocks a lot of the Cathedral.  

But I love this setting with the Tuscan hillside in the background.
