Ceiling, Uffizi Gallery


 Today I am visiting Florence's Uffizi Gallery. I'm making the trip in my mind, walking down the corridors, looking up at the frescoed ceilings. My neck is getting sore from this, so I've decided to lie down on the polished wood floor and study the figures from mythology surrounded by colorful, fanciful creatures. Originally, these were offices. I'm imagining a 16th century accountant taking a break, pacing up and down the corridor. Hopefully he stopped to study the dragons and mermaids.
