\"Florence<\/a>
Florence night skyline from the tower of the Hotel Torre Guelfa.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Another panorama taken with my Really Right Stuff PG-02 Pro Omni-Pivot Package.\u00a0 This was a series of nine images stitched together using Photoshop’s Photomerge function (File -> Automate -> Photomerge).\u00a0 Each image was a 25 second exposure.<\/p>\n

The image was taken from the tower of the Hotel Torre Guelfa<\/a>.\u00a0 This is the tallest privately owned tower in central Florence.\u00a0 The hotel has a bar at the top of the tower which is the perfect place to watch sunset.<\/p>\n

Be sure to book early and ask for Room 315.\u00a0 Here is what the website says about that room (we booked it):<\/p>\n

Room 315 is our jewel in the crown. One arrives through a very steep stair which leads from the third floor to an even higher level, where you find yourself on the roofs of Florence! Characteristic is a big terrace,\u00a0 equipped with sofa and comfy chairs and a remote controlled shade, which allows you to live the city in a privileged way, even during the hottest season of the year. A romantic iron canopy bed and visible wooden beams on the attic ceiling makes this room so special.<\/em><\/p>\n

I heard about this hotel during a photography seminar that I attended at the Great Smokey Mountains National Park.\u00a0 The seminar leaders, Tom and Pat Cory<\/a>, also run a seminar in Italy.\u00a0 Tom and Pat base their Florence photography seminars in this hotel.\u00a0 If you are interested in a photography seminar in the Smokey Mountains, Tom and Pat are highly recommended.<\/p>\n
