Dampening the Spirits

When the brightest thing on the horizon is the McDonald's sign, then it really is a miserable day. This picture was taken at about 3.00pm, when the bright morning had turned into a damp and miserable afternoon. Thank goodness the interior of the Cathedral was bright and welcoming.

This photo of the Campanile reflected in the rainy Piazza is, admittedly, not quite as romantic as 'acqua alta' in the Piazza San Marco in Venice, but at least we don't have flooded crypts!
