Looking across the River Arno at the Anconella Park as Autumn begins to deploy its warm palette.

On the banks of the Arno River. I find interfaces very interesting. Here the vegetation on the very edge of the river banks finds sufficient moisture to thrive even in the summer heat. A few paces away from the water everything dries out (and Park Services mows it down). For Maurice: no swans visiting this stretch of the river yet this year, but there's a small group that shows up almost every year. For Andy and Maurice: wishing you both a moment of simple serenity as you work at recovery or wait to learn news about the way forward.

Sometimes on one bank, sometimes on both, structures that were once water mills punctuate the course of the Arno River. Over the years, they have often gone through various transformations (factories, granaries etc) and this one has more recently been repurposed to become a hotel, called - what else? - Il Mulino di Firenze. I took this shot just before the wind picked up and ruffled the water surface of the pool created by the milldam. In the pips a different format in color of the same site, the "twin" mill on the opposite bank (now a residential complex) and a closer view of the milldam.

All of us, "fish in the pond", are waiting for you to get back and play with us! Annalia

Along the Arno River, downstream from the city, on a misty winter morning. I liked how the mist softened colors and made for a perfect background for the tree silhouette. In the Pip: people (and a dog) take morning walks along the river despite the humid weather; in the distance, almost hidden by the mist, the newly refurbished pedestrian bridge that connects the Isolotto area to the Cascine Park.

A feast of golden fall colors reflecting in the Arno River upstream from the city.

The last of the sun light reflected by colourful buildings on the opposite bank played on the wake left by a canoe on the Arno river.

Floating leaves and reflections at a small fountain in San Salvi park. I am going to try to add a PIP. Since this is the first time I try this, if I fail, the fountain can be seen in the next photo :)
