Photo of the Day (9.1.10)

You can schedule yourself into oblivion when you travel and tick off every major sightseeing spot in your guide, but sometimes it's the quiet moments that are the most memorable. This tranquil scene of Florence at dusk -- shot by Flickr user Justin Delaney -- reminds me that it's important stop and take a good look around every once in a while. After all, isn't that why we travel, anyway? It's not just about checking tourist spots off a list: It's actually getting a different viewpoint.

I took this picture from the spot where I wanted to propose to my fiance Kristin, but she was too busy in an enoteche to be bothered with my modest proposal. I finally got around to that later in the night.
