I have no words to describe how awesome and beautiful everything is. I can't get enough of looking at these. Everything is so huge and the architecture is unbelievable. I try to imagine all the work being put into these places and can't.
I can't wait to see th rest of them. I always click slideshow and then stop it so I can take time looking at each one. Can you imagine people trying to build like that these days? I don't think they could do it.
Glad you appreciated them Dee. It's odd having lived in the US and Australia to visit cities where the buildings are far far older than your country. :)
New set of photos up - my Milan pics are the cathedral and surrounds - not many but the cathedral is worth a look. It has more sculptures on the outside then you'd think any three buildings should have. :)
Kaleeko can get excited, the first of the Venice photos are up.
Venice does have to be experienced to be believed. No wheeled vehicles in the city - not even bicycles. All motor traffic is in the water. It's easy to get lost - the little tiny windy streets - but not to hard to work out where you are again.
I'm gonna have to take a look tomorrow when I'm less sleepy, since I haven't gotten a chance to look at any of the ones you've posted past the first ones, yet. I'm sure I'll love them, though, you lucky duck you!!
Thanks for reminding me to look, PiB, I have such an awful memory.
Everything is so amazing... From the line of locks on the sidewalk, to the statues, to the waterways, the churches with such extraordinary detail... While I have a small fondness for modern art, nothing can compare to how much a labor of love such art was back in those days. It really brings into perspective how 'cheap' and taken for granted architecture is in the modern world.
I bet it was a trillion times more amazing in person, PiB. I envy you your experience!

It took about 140 years to build the cathedral (duomo)

Long time, lots of money, lots of work.
Finished Florence. Next will be the Cathedral from Milan and Venice.

I just looked at the rest of them. Still just awesome.

ReplyDeleteYes and to think; those buildings will probably still be there for some future civilization to come across and wonder about.

Should get some of Venice up tomorrow.
I am still in awe at the architecture. Those are awesome photos.
ReplyDeleteThanks Dee
