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.*

Picture taken with Canon IXUS 400, in October 2002, no postwork. Location, Via De'Benci, Firenze.

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.

I really like the capture of textures and architectures, old and new, rough and smooth, plus, you managed to add a human element that brings it all to life. Very nice.

The monochrome color scheme is exquisite, and the picture radiates an old-world beauty. Wonderfully composed and photographed.

With such great eye for atmosphere in a photo, I think the police would find it hard to come down too much on these guys :) Super photo, gives a nice representation of your hometown!

The tonality of the light and the colors is gorgeous. The details of the scene are perfect. Really a very beautiful photographic work. Congratulations Meli !

The photo is very interest...how do you know they are Bycicle Thieves? I hope it isn't because they tried to ripoff one of the bikes in the photo after you took it! Anyways, the poem is a great tribute to your much beloved hometown and the coloring is very appropriate.

This reminds me of a time during my Junior High School days when a friend of mine had his prized Bianchi bycicle(I mean bicycle ;-) stolen from a bowling alley. This is an interesting photo. I wonder what those two guys are up to there. Cool sepia tone. :-)

I love the tones in this one very much. Wonder about the title.
lemonjim
This would make a funny note card! There are lots of possible titles, but "Bike Thieves" is excellent LOL! :-)

The beauty of causality.

Excellent photography! The scene is realy fantastic.

This is excellent, I love the sepia toning, it is actually hard to tell without being told that this is a newer photo, as the clothing on the men reflects a style that hasn't changed much in years. Well done, and I am glad that you are so happy to be back in Florence, it seems like a lovely place. :)
beyondthezero
That is a terrific photograph! How does your camera add the sepia? I love the smallest details of this picture, which nicely offset the bicycle in the foreground.

love the sepia tone - it has a real old world feel to it.
