Florence above the roofs

The Duomo at arm's length and the city rolling away behind it.

The tiled dome of Florence Cathedral fills the foreground above the city's terracotta roofs and distant hills.

Field note

The bit outside the frame.

There is no sensible way to fit Florence into one frame, so this one lets the dome win.

The roof tiles repeat all the way to the hills. It feels less like a view over a city and more like looking across one enormous, carefully weathered object.
