Florence, Italy 3

       Florence, Italy 3

Today's images show fairly close views of some of the art on the Duomo and the Baptistery of St. John in Florence.  I used the zoom lens to isolate some of the sculptures and artwork to show the beautiful religious art on the outside of the building. The photo with the gilded bronze doors was taken at an odd angle because there were so many people there that it was difficult to get close.  I did manage to photograph a few of the panels and I've uploaded them to my Blog this morning.

To be honest, it was difficult to photograph these buildings because of the crowds of people in the historical district of Florence.  I didn't want to lose sight of our group and was restricted to the areas she decided to stop and provide information.
