Bridge on River Arno ~ Firenze, Tuscany • click to embiggen
2 views from Ponte Vecchio on River Arno ~ Firenze, Tuscany • click to embiggenA light mid-afternoon rain in Firenze (Florence) made for some nice light on the River Arno.

And, guess what? It rained twice on the day we were in Firenze and, sure as rain water's wet, the umbrella guys showed up - this time there were so many it resembled a plague of swarming locust.

FYI, the padlocks on the iron fence around the monument - according to an old Italian legend, if a couple of lovers write their names on a padlock, chain it to the Ponte Vecchio and throw the key down into the River Arno, their love will be everlasting.

PS to wife - Now that I know this, I guess we'll just have to go back.
