Andy, excellent photographs with the 55/1.2 and 28/2. The capture of the leaning tress is a stunner.
Hospital of the Innocents, architect Fillipo Brunelleschi (1419) who also designed the dome of Florence Cathedral. At center is the entry to a church that is a treasure and often missed by tourists. At the end is a great spot for Panini and drinks popular with students.
Basilica della Santissima Annunziato, ca 1250. Behind the candles...........
The mysterious Annunciation (1252):
The artwork was commissioned to a monk that was unable to paint the beauty required for the face of the Virgin. In despair, he fell asleep and awakened to a completed painting. The miracle was attributed to the work an artistic angel. The painting is behind thick glass.
