Here's Looking At You, Kid

Doesn't everyone have shots of these coin-operated binoculars in their photostreams? I hope mine offers a slightly different perspective on these oft-photographed objects. This one can be seen atop the dome of Basilica di Santa Maria del Fiore in Florence, Italy. Its "observation deck" offers a grand 360 degrees view of the city and the surrounding hills. Some views that can be had are shown in the outtakes below.

Peter Denton has added a photo to the pool: The Blind Beggar pub in the Whitechapel Road was built in 1898. In 1966 it became notorious when Ronnie Kray shot and killed George Cornell in the main bar.

In 1904 a pickpocket and common criminal called Wallis stabbed another man in the eye with an umbrella.

Oh... one of the Groups I belong to is "Walk-By Shootings". Seems appropriate.
