ponte vecchio PIPs

Most people picture something like this view in their mind's eye when they think of Florence. In the PIPs I am providing a couple of alternative views, one showing tourists admiring the Old Bridge from the Lungarno and the other taken from the terrace of Hotel Lungarno, a perfect spot to view the bridge that is accessible to everyone. Above the three central arches of the bridge, note the windows corresponding to the Corridoio Vasariano, a private passage that in medieval times allowed the high class to cross the river unseen and undisturbed by the masses.

Beautiful.
You have caught this historic bridge in a very special light...

At the location of your left PicinPic I stood already once. Look:

Very similar point of view indeed, Udo! So strange that the river water level was so low in November!
