Ponte Vecchio Reflection in the Arno River

Spanning the calm waters of the Arno River under an azure sky dotted with wispy clouds is the historic Ponte Vecchio bridge in Florence, Tuscany, Italy. This medieval stone arch bridge features shops that have been continuously occupied since its construction over seven centuries ago. Its reflection shimmers perfectly below as autumn's fiery palette paints the surrounding foliage red against the verdant grassy bank where green benches invite quiet contemplation or leisurely strolls by the water's edge.
