I have to say, the giant state of David was a bit of a disappointment. Maybe because it was SO hot, and such a long walk up, up and up to get to this part of town where the mammoth statue resides. Or maybe because he was GREEN??? BTW I guess I failed to mention earlier that WE DID indeed to get to see the statue of all statues- Michelangelo's David in the Accademia museum. However, after all that build up- they didn't allow cameras! Actually it was probably just as well- that way I lived in the moment instead of just trying to capture every image in the place in my camera lens (speaking of which I need to charge my camera up for tomorrow's visit to Pisa)! But David was GREAT! No picture- no replica can even come close to the detail that Michelangelo put into that masterpieces. You would swear he's going to start breathing the detail is so real- you can see the veins in his neck- the tendons in his legs- the pores of the skin on his arms! Unreal-
Anyway, we hiked and hiked in the Tuscan sun to get to this park, and there he was, in his green skin. I put a shot in from the distance to show how he's in a parking lot with vendors-
