This tree, at one of the entrances to the Piazza that the "Leaning Tower of Pisa", has a lean of exactly the same degree!
How could I pass up this shot? (3 exp HDR)
I should have some time over the next week to catch up with your streams, my friends!

The Arno river flows through the city of Pisa in Tuscany, Italy.
It is seen here from the bridge near the Piazza Garibaldi (Ponte di Mezzo).
3exp HDR - longish exposures, using the Gorillapod, through crossed polarising filters, to try to smooth the water & the make the cars disappear

The Leaning Tower of Pisa is not lit in any "photographically friendly" way at night! In fact, it is really a difficult night time subject.
Anyway, here is one of my efforts. - The building on the left is the Cathedral, for which the tower is the bell tower.
The Flares are caused by a huge security light just out of frame.
3 long exposures in an HDR.

Just inside one of the gates of the ancient town wall in Pisa, is this ruin of a Roman bathhouse. It is called "Nero's Palace" rightly or wrongly...
With those trees & that sky, how could I pass it up, despite the cars?
