Michelangelo called this door the gates to paradise, they actually lead to the baptistery.
Here is the dome as close as I can get without climbing it, which I will do some other day, but on this day my calves said no to the hundreds of stairs in the tiny hallway.
This is just your average piazza in Florence. One or two fountains, 400 year old buildings, and maybe a statue for good measure. This is 2 blocks from the dome near an old orphanage.
I don't actually know what this is for or if it even has a story, but I like the picture.This is a SMALL sample of the very amateur photos that I have taken. All of these were taken in the Florence Cathedral area. I will throw this next one in just to prove to you I was there...
Me in the Baptistery.
