I had no plans to be in Florence on this day. I found an airbnb, arrived and perused the apartment which was perfect. Plants, artwork, eclectic, textures, plenty of space, nooks and crannys. I needed a nap before heading out to explore and grab a bite to eat. I don't think I ever fell asleep but rested nicely and decided to let some air in from the large windows which ended up being the perfect balance of summer breeze and warmth accompanied by sounds of the streets below. This is Italy, this is a feeling that I want to hold onto. I grabbed my camera and a few shots in, these two girls came to the balcony for a smoke. Respectfully, I let them know that I was taking photos of the scene and if they wanted to be in the shot, cool. They obliged. The only way to compose this was to set my tripod on my bed, the light from the room and outside required a few bracketed shots which did the trick. I came back to my room close to midnight and went to the balcony, the girls were there again having a smoke and we chit chatted for some time before calling it a night.
I ended up staying for three nights, three more than I had planned for. I can't wait to go back.
