Ponte Vecchio ("Old Bridge") is a bridge over the Arno River in Florence (north-central Italy). It is one of the oldest closed-spandrel segmental arch bridges in the world. Moreover, the bridge is covered with buildings like jewelers and souvenir shops that are still selling their products like in the Middle Ages

Ponte Vecchio looks very nice during daylight but I decided to capture it at night. To overcome the strong contrasts due to this setup I used the HDR technique. I hope you enjoy it.
