| Up on a hill overlooking Florence is the beautiful 12th-century basilica of San Miniato. For me, a visit to Firenze is not complete without a hike up here. After spending some time in the church and in the cemetery, I step through this doorway to head back down to town. [Linking back to The Weekend in Black and White and also to inSPIREd Sunday.] |

ReplyDeleteNice composition. I liked the round-topped doorway and the bit of mystery of what is beyond those doors and the few trees we can see..
ReplyDeleteI often think those heavy doors are stronger than the walls. Nice shot.
ReplyDelete“Before leaving let me just stand here a while absorbing this wonderful sight (site?). And the sounds.”
