Annalia S.'s photos with the keyword: Girone

Just thought we needed a splash of color to brighten up our Wednesday ... I am pretty sure Gabi will approve :)

Deserted in the time of the pandemic, a bench in a village square is still kept well swept and interestingly adorned. HBM, everyone! I will have a busy day at work tomorrow, so I'm taking advantage of the early posting flexibility. Have a great week!

By the last house of the Village of Il Girone as you walk upriver, a fellow stroller walked into a spotlight created by the westering sun.

A small hamlet just a few kilometres from Florence, Il Girone (Italian for "the big turn") looks on to a bend in the course of the Arno River, in a spot where one of the old river dams hinders the water flow creating a pool that makes for very pleasant reflections. The villa that can be seen in the distance is Villa la Massa, currently a 5 star hotel. I don't know what created the mist/smoke behind the Villa. Perhaps a field cleaning fire or possibly just the humidity from the river beginning to raise as evening approached.
