Piazza Del Duomo, Firenze, Toscana, Italia (Florence, Italy)

As with many historic cities, you can get a ride from one place to another in a horse-drawn carriage. It's not an opportunity that we took advantage of, but if I had a little more time, oh yes, always "if I had a little more time", it's certainly something that I wouldn't have minded doing.

In a relatively tranquil city like Firenze, the horses have a much easier time of things than they would in a more crowded, traffic rich city, and certainly these ones seem to be well cared for.

In this shot we see one of them enjoying a little early lunch, doubtless well-earned and well deserved.

I like to see the horses in the old cities. Been there centuries. Not the same horse, of course...

Lovely to see the horse with his nose in the bag Alan!
