SET ONE: Top left [1] This image gets its shots of orange & yellow from the colorful banners advertising the Biennale Internazionale dell’Antiquariato di Firenze, a major antique fair held at Palazzo Corsini; Top right [2] The dark and light halves represent a corner building on Piazza d’Ognissanti; Bottom left [3] Narrow streets that end at the river cause a dramatic strip of darkness between golden building façades; Bottom right [4] In reflections, the piazzas can be recognized by a patch of sky marking the open space.

SET TWO: Top left [5] It’s not unusual for the late afternoon sun to create the effect of molten gold (hints of the Biennale banners run along the top); Top right [6] The same narrow street in [2], shown from further away; Bottom left [7] Another narrow street caught between two sun-kissed buildings; Bottom right [8] A broader view of the reflected Biennale banners.

SET THREE: Top left [9] The salmon stucco of this palazzo’s façade reflects beautifully on the river; Top right [10] A patch of smooth water finally appeared further down the river; the buildings here reflect a cooler shade of gold; Bottom left [11] Piazza d’Ognissanti reflected, with a splash of gold along the top; the church’s bell tower is represented by a vertical cream streak in the lower right of the image; Bottom right [12] This building’s reflection reminds me of spools of tightly coiled wire.
