The story behind this image

Nothing screams 'Italy' like a row of parked scooters on the side of a cobblestone alley, and this is just what I found just a short distance from our hotel near Florence's famous Duomo.

This may not be an image of a famous landmark or scene, but it does convey a sense of place and culture, which Is why I took the photo.

I preferred the monochrome rendition over the natually coloured original RAW file, but I couldn't resist colour popping the red scooter to add a definate focal point to the composition.
