The autumn is so very beautiful here. Well, obviously.
Milton said the fallen angels were as plentiful as
'the fallen leaves that fill the brooks in Valombrossa.'

From Piazale Michaelangelo.
Look at the sfumato (mist) in the valley.
Look at the umbrella pines. We leave here tomorrow.....
How can you leave such beauty!!??!! Oh! My! I wouldn't believe it is really real, but you are there. So sorry that you must pack up and come back to earth. Thanks for the virtual visit.
ReplyDeleteThe first photo looks very painterly indeed- Sigh...I can almost smell the air- what a good feeling!
ReplyDeleteLove all photos, but the "Ponte S. Trinita from the PV" and
ReplyDelete"From Piazale Michaelangelo" are stunning!
Oh my goodness.... this is so beautiful!!!!!!!!!! Enjoy your trip Elizabeth! :o)
ReplyDeleteWe've had sfumato here too the last few days.
ReplyDeleteThank you for teaching me a new word!
Isn't sfumato a lovely word? I thought it was a painterly term; is it? Your pictures are heavenly; angels, indeed.
ReplyDeleteWe saw a strange film called "Certified Copy" last night. Florence has a role in it.
Where are you now, I wonder?
Wonderful photography, and I am going to have get my mother there one more time.
ReplyDeleteAnd the poem you seeded came!
