Galleria dell'Accademia

"David"

"I wanted to be up early in the morning to line up and see "David"!!
I was in line to see "Big D" by 9.15am
- but I still had to wait nearly an hour outside in the pouring rain
I finally got in and it was well worth the wet and the wait
I sat for nearly an hour looking at him from front, back, left, right, close up
and far away and using the computer imagry to see him up close
His pupils are shaped like love hearts - odd!!
Anyway, I could have sat for ages longer
but I think the security guards were getting a bit suspicious of me!!
Admittedly I was taking photos when you weren't supposed to be
- I was using big groups of American tourists as cover!!"
