Color photo. European city-scape. Yellow, red, and orange Italianate buildings with red-tile roofs line the banks of a river, which extends diagonally from the frame’s lower left to the horizon. The water is dark green and its surface is flat — no ripples or waves or watercraft. Three, maybe four, arched bridges cross the river. The nearest bridge is at middle distance; the others are spaced from there to the horizon. Tops of additional buildings, including two church spires, can be seen in the background. Heavy gray clouds are in the sky at top left. Clearer, lighter skies appear at right. Has it just rained, or is the storm now arriving instead?
Arno River, Florence, Italy. October 2025.
