I love that first one, and I think you took it from a spot that many photographers have been. The difference is I've always seen pictures of it with the buildings and the bridge fully lit. This is nicely different.
Oh, I also only have a good view of sunrises, sunset is obscured by hills or tall trees on the West side of the house. A great shame as sometimes I can tell from the clouds directly overhead that the sunset must've been lovely.
Thanks, Siphiwe.
Ponte Santa Trinita gets very crowded around sunset time, lots of photographers plus the selfie crowd. I took other photographs at different times/angles where the bridge is clearly visible, this one was the first that caught my attention.
Nothing wrong with a photo of the clouds at sunset...

Currently in Mt. Desert island, Maine, hiking in Acadia National Park. Some people mistakenly call it Arcadia but it is A-cadia. Except that every 17 years there are not just a cadia but millions of cadias. That was last year. Won't happen again for another 16 years. (Sorry, bad joke.)

Thanks for the encouragement. Nature in its beauty sometime takes my breath away.
This one is for some reason special to me and proper for this memorial day.
These are our five remaining rescued cats - a less embarrassing number. - all shot with the sold 200mm f2.0 ai. Turns out I have thousands of photos I never got around to imaging. Pecking order adjustments have happened three times in the last year as other cats aged out of this plane of existence to a happy one of catnip mice.
Palazzo Carpegna and the National Academy of St. Luke.
Even after living in Rome for more than sixty years, I still discover places that are enchanting in their beauty and rich in works of art. Rome is an endless wellspring of beauty.
All with Z5 II & AI 50/1.4.
Borromini's portico on the ground floor (1643-1647)

Charlie and Oscar seem to have the same mismatched eye colors. Are they litter mates or do you actually know? Beautiful!

Momma cat has a bit of chimera markings. Momma cat is the mother of Oscar (dob 7-20-18) and Marnie (dob 3-6-18). She was having two liters a year there for a while with a huge long hair ginger that I named Georgie. He has an album on my flickr acct. Missing part of an ear, tangles in his fur - ear mites etc. And Momma cat was crazy about him. He was near death when decided he wanted to move in, but I refused him entry because of all the parasites. I built him an apartment in the garage, and bought him a heated little condo - which he preferred, and put it on a bench by my slider for the winter. Charlie was kicked out of my neighbors house for digging in a house plant at about 3 months old. I think he was a freebie they found, but they treated all their animals dreadfully. When they would get sick of a dog they would call the animal shelter and claim it was a stray. My 2nd youngest son called him "uncle fester" - and the name stuck.
