Show off your Mad Photographic skillz

Here are some from November 2014 of our trip through Venice, Florence, Tuscany and Rome, all taken with a Canon 550D, the EF 40mm Pancake, EFS 300mm Tele, 10-18 wide angle and the wonderful EF 85mm.

Looking out over the Maremma part of Tuscany. This looks funny because it is a cellphone picture of the Canon Display. I liked the resulting vintage greeting card-like quality and kept it.

A nice piece of propaganda:

Here is the shocking proof from the Uffici that selfies were already a thing in ancient Rome:
