Mrs Hayes decided to climb the 400+ steps to the top of the Campanile whilst the Blog decided he would have enough stair climbing when he returned to his office.
This blog should have included a picture of the Baptistery ceiling, truly one of the worlds greatest sights but is sure a previous blog posted a picture of it.
As previously reported by The Blog, it is impossible these days to take a photograph of any important or interesting statue, building or object because there are always lots of fools wanting to have their picture taken in front of it. You often get, everywhere in the world, large groups of people every one of which must have their photo taken in front of the building or object. Then they have the same picture taken again in pairs or small groups. And each picture takes forever because they don't know how their mobile phone or camera works. You can wait all day and still not be able to take a photo. Bloggers will remember the Bull at Bowling Green in Manhattan and the Hog in the market here in Florence.
The Don only ever wants one quick photo of the building or object and does not want to be in any of them. He gets very angry and has from time to time ended up giving the people, who are undoubtedly very nice, lots of abuse.
So The Don has come up with a new approach which has transformed into an art theme that he is now excited about. Instead of getting annoyed The Don takes a picture of the person concerned. The first example of this new hobby is below. A man in front of the Doors of Paradise.
The Don hopes to build up a whole collection of these interesting snaps. What a great anger management solution as well.
