Gallery 1 — Z.R. Photography

I was recently able to join my fiancé and her family on a trip to Italy for an art show that she was involved in. I am super proud of her and thankful to God I was able to go along side her in celebration of her achievements and take these pictures along the way.

This was the first picture I took as we arrived in Venice. We landed in Rome in mid afternoon and took a high speed train up to Venice.

This is the first picture from the first morning. To the right side of the image is where our hotel was. And to the left through a few ally ways, was the main street.

These are some doors that were right outside our hotel window. I waited about 10 minutes to get this picture because as soon as I saw the composition, a lady opened the door on the right as she was cleaning the house.

A picture of a Gondola in the sun. My fiance helped me get this one because I was not facing the right way as it approached.

Probably my favorite picture from Venice. We were up on the Rialto bridge midday and the timing as this water taxi came into the foreground was perfect.

Venice was full of vibrant colors on the buildings, this archway seemingly the most vibrant as it had the morning sun illuminating it down this canal.

My fiance really enjoyed the water reflections under all the bridges.

I honestly cannot remember what was going on when I took this one.

Now in Florence.
This is the Basilica di Santa Croce di Firenze, home to the tombs of Michelangelo and Galileo

Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore and the accompanying Giotto's Bell Tower

We took a tour through the Tuscan Hillside by car on our way from Florence to Rome. The pictures that are similar to this one are all from the same place; Pienza. Looking over the city walls to the horizon.
