Milan

Here is Milan's Cathedral (Duomo) which I was astonished to learn took almost SIX centuries to build!

 

 

I am in awe of the talented craftsmen who created these beautiful statues (forgive me if I have not used the correct term) which adorn the outside.

 

The intricate details on facial expressions, bulging veins, and obvious ability to depict human anatomy so accurately, takes my breath away!

 

Although our visit to Milan was brief - an evening and a day - these magnificent pieces of art will remain etched in my memory for many years to come.

 

Wherever you may live in this extraordinary world, I encourage you to visit

Our World Tuesday

to view more scenes from far and wide.

Reflecting on Milan

This shoe shop window reflects some of the architectural beauty to be found in ...

... the impressive Vittorio Emanuelle II arcade

in Milan

Linking up with James' Weekend Reflection

Dizzy heights !

Spotted in Milan - window washers on a building in Milan. . . .

If you enlarge the shot below, you will be able to spot them on the 12th

or 13th floor from the top, in close to the tubular part of the building.

I reckon they'll have employment for some time to come !!!
