Sunset over Florence

Taken from Michelangelo Park across the Arno from Florence, Italy. A beautiful way to end a day touring around the city.

Sidenote: Just putting in a plug for the charity I run. If you are buying ANYTHING from Amazon.com this year, if you visit my organization's website - www.booksforamerica.org - and click on the Amazon button, and then buy something, Amazon.com will donate at least 6% of the purchase price to our literacy programs!

This link is active year-round, so anytime you buy anything on Amazon, please go through the link on booksforamerica.org!

Cheers, and many thanks.
Steve
