Florence

Today we spent the day in Florence checking out the major attractions. We started the morning at the Uffizi Gallery which is the main gallery of which there are several in Florence but as they say, if you only get to one gallery then that is the one and so it would seem did everybody else as the queues were already long and it was not even 830am. We had pre-booked our tickets prior to leaving home so we didn't have to wait too long .

 

The two masterpieces below have a few similarities to Gabriella and l. Can you tell what they are? They're both stunning pieces.

 
 
Now there is a story to these two art works above, one is a masterpiece and the other was described by an employee as rubbish. His comment was that  it should be burnt, stolen or thrown in the bin as it wasn't worthy of hanging next to the painting. He was disgusted that they hung it next to the painting.
 
A couple of works of art that could fit right in here at the gallery.

Gabriella's new friend pumba.

The gallery is full of masterpieces and, it's like everything, far too much to take in. Unfortunately l'm all galleried out and l have seen to many doumos.
