Near the Uffizi Museum

Here is a photo of two officers just outside the Uffizi.

Here is a photo of two officers just outside the Uffizi. At first they kept trying to get aout of my way, thinking I was photographing the piazza behind them. Once they understood that they were the subject, there was a bit of jostling between them as to which of them should pose, and exactly where and how!

I am also including the lay-in, or start, of a painting based on a picture shown in an earlier blog posting.  Much as I would have liked to do this one plein air, the streets here are too narrow and the foot traffic too thick for that to work well.

Next up will be a little side trip to Cortona, which I will visit tomorrow.
