This photo-of-the-day is from the Uffizi Gallery in Florence, Italy. It shows tourists crowding in front of Primavera by Botticelli. They are taking photos of the painting. I am taking a photo of them taking a photo of the painting. Very meta. I found myself doing that a lot in the Uffizi. It has an abundance of masterpieces. It has an abundance of tourists. All worth it.
A bonus photo is after the jump.

This photo is of The Birth of Venus by Botticelli. I'll let Wikipedia explain the pairing: "Although the two are now known not to be a pair, [the Primavera] is inevitably discussed with Botticelli's other very large mythological painting, The Birth of Venus, also in the Uffizi. They are among the most famous paintings in the world, and icons of the Italian Renaissance; of the two, the Birth is even better known than the Primavera."
