^^^^ Very good photograph which you could have captioned differently to tell many different stories of isolation and we would have believed you.

Thank you. Much appreciated. As you probably guessed, a flight of fancy from me. Old window and curtain merged with corridor photo.

I live in a house with lots of bits of silver - and have never photographed any of it!

...so instead, I will put up a few holiday snaps taken in the Medici Riccardi Palace in Florence showing some items of the silver collection that caught my eye. Nothing artistic, but possibly of interest.



Some cabinets, with a crucifix, I believe by Donatello which would explain the bulletproof glass, set back in an alcove.



A collection of trinkets.



I am not sure what this was used for...



...but the detail is impressive!

Not actually a silver arrow, they were pre war but close.

It kept me happy watching it go around and around on its turntable for quite some time, yes it is real and yes it does get occasional use when not resting in the technical museum in Vienna.
