1. I love the subject matter - a great, centuries old building.

2. I love all of the various compositions that were available.

3. (and most important) I love the fact that most people will never see this building. Along with another photographer on our tour of Tuscany, we opted for walking back to our hotel in Florence after visiting the Piaza di Michelangelo high above the city center. It was a much longer walk than we anticipated, but this was one of the treasures we found trekking down the hillside along streets rarely traveled.
