The Duomo is the architectural icon of Florence and it is enormous. Here is a view of the dome from a city street. It's my favorite picture of the Duomo (that I've taken). I love how something so old and amazing sits among everyday life here.
A view of the Arno River and the Otrano section of Florence in the distance. And yes, that is yucky algae on the left bank, but it's still pretty.
Don't you just love an arcade?
Great pic of the Duomo. It appears to dwarf the other buildings.
