Firenze + Venezia

Tags: ,

bad news: I don’t have much time lately to blog.
bad news #2: I don’t have anything very interesting to write.
good news: I have time to take photos. I hope you like photos.
good news #2: I’ve been to Florence (Firenze). I’ve also been to Venice (Venezia).

I constantly kept getting that “hmm, I studied this once” feeling in Florence. In Venice as well, but there it was more “Look, a pigeon”.

What I’ve learnt? A few things …

  • The Duomo in Florence is really impressively huge
  • There is too much traffic in Florence
  • Venice is peaceful. No traffic on the streets, just in the canals
  • Pigeons in Venice don’t mind a bit of flash, but full power in their eyes scares them ;)
  • Buying a katana sword is cheaper than a gondola ride in Venice
  • Off camera flash really is that great. My luggage was a G9, a 430 EX and an OC-E3. And let’s not forget the superb Gorillapod.

The photos …
