Description
*
Days I passed in my beloved shell,
days of love, and days of care...
Now I live abroad,
I see just seldom
the bright sun whose rayes
caresses you,
my Florence, my beloved friend:
But you're within
for every day that I won't catch
your golden walls,
your rooftops and stairs.
The smallest glimpse of your lookin life
and my joy sparkles,
and my soul raises.
Wherever I am ,
or I'm gonna be,
I am daughter yours,
for all I live.*

This morning that I am back in Florence, and the sun shines so bright.. I felt all the love for my town getting so huge I had to find a way to compose a hymn for it.
This picture is gonna be in an album soon updated in my website among others (it's a life that I don't update that section.. sorry), and I thought about sharing it.
It was way too long I didn't contribute to this gallery, and so I hope you all enjoy.

Nice to see one of your photos again. I can imagine the beautiful Florence with the shining sun that I have here. As always your image has wonderful complements, this hymn shows very well the love for your town, and I luv it as the photo with the compo and tone and the Mediterranean mood, like a halo, surrounding image and words. The name of your town is attached with names as Dante, Leonardo, Michellangelo, Botticelli... WOW. Thanks for sharing this, I hope some day I can see the especial light of Florence.

Beautiful photo - and I love especially the way you so gently and graciously show us new possibilities for life. The way you caress your beloved Florence like a lover shows me a new way to cherish my own small places. You are such a treasure, Meli!

Ah Mi, this is professional quality work. Stunning capture of a moment in Florentine life as only you could do it. I love the monochrome colour scheme here, and the crispness and clarity is phenomenal. Perfect composition too, in my opinion. (Ah, maybe one day I can visit) BRAVA!!

One of the spots on earth more often mentioned by artists and art loving Americans... a wonderful place to be from, and be in. I agree that you are fortunate, very fortunate to be in Florence. Am looking forward to seeing more.

Oh I thought those two punks were stealing bicycles and I was wondering how you knew. ;) They say, "home is where the heart is", I would not say completely but a good portion is rooted to Firenze. The other portion is with your love, Steph. Change is hard but can be sweet, taste it dear, taste it.

Do you did photograph with your eyes? You have the right view to the right time! It seems, like you have a Camera inside your head. Wonderful!!!
