I like the mist...'gentle' is a good word for it. Lovely overview of a beautiful old city. I only wish I could see more of the people in the foreground though.

@613photo: Thanks!....there was a choice in the way I could have gone with this one but it would have been difficult to give equal importance to both the view and the people.
