Three From The Convention Center

Below are three of the photos I have hanging in the Santa Clara Convention Center. I haven't posted these before, so I thought I'd do so now.

Reflection
In downtown Florence, the side of the Duomo is framed by buildings on a street leading to it. The late afternoon sun illuminates the Duomo and reflects off the window.

Via Ricasoli
This street, seen from atop the Giotto Tower, is Via Ricasoli. It runs radially north from the Duomo. You can see a crowd in the street in front of the Galleria dell'Accademia, in which you will find Michelangelo’s David. Farther up the street and to the left you see the Museo di San Marco.

Palazzo Vecchio #2
This is the Palazzo Vecchio in Florence. The view is from the top of the Giotto Tower, which is located downtown near the Duomo.
