These first two photos were taken just before I was wrestled to the ground by security guards... well... reprimanded anyway. It turns out you're not supposed to take pictures of Michelangelo's David. Click on the image to view a larger slideshow.

Florence... Firenze...
Firenze sounds so much cooler than Florence.

The Uffizi Gallery... under construction since 1560... like everything else in Italy, it'll be nice when it's finished.

Sounds like you're a trouble-maker, Rick.
I didn't think Michelangelo would mind. Seriously, I didn't see the sign. I think it's really cool the way David looks very calm from the front, but from the side he looks gravely concerned. I never noticed that before seeing him for myself.
Ha! Yes, I took 2 very subtle pictures (I *had* seen the sign but who cares!) and nobody saw me... then again, that was not the case inside Sacre Coeur in Paris :) Great pictures!
I saw the sign and I kept my camera in its case. I couldn't get over how many foreigners there were who ignored the signs and clicked away. The guards said nothing to them while I was there. It kind of pissed me off, since I was pretty sure that if I got my camera out, they'd haul me off outside.
