Back to Italy

[Deleted]

A couple of shots of Italy from two summers past. I did not post these since I wasn't into sharing my images back then; just seemed to lack any motivation. All of these were taken with the Kodak C663 and the Lumix DMC-ZS6.

Tuscany coast:

views of Tuscany that I've never seen... I thought it was all rolling hills and vineyards.

just look at those stairs... talk about age and culture...
best food in the world?

Best food in the world and the Chianti is to die for. A meal in the evening is an adventure. You don't walk in, order and walk out one hour later. You go through several courses from anti-pasti right on up. And the wine changes as you go through the courses. In the villa that our son rented, we had local women come in and cook for us on the evenings we did not dine out. Their cooking was to die for. Tuscany is mainly rolling hills and vineyards (I think I have some images of that) but this is the seacoast along the Cinque Terre coast. We stayed in Ponte a Moriano not far from Lucca and about two hours from Pisa.



This is how you get around:



And here's an image of my camera. BTW... the flaring pants are cargo pants (short ones... too hot for long pants and no, I don't have any shots of my bare legs).



The streets are narrow in order to capture shade as well as the fact that land is at a premium.

A better view of the rail lines:

hey isn't that the backside of the famous town on the hill? The one of all the little box like houses of all different colours.... you know the one I mean.

man o man those are crisp pics!!!!
what comes to mind is...the work done is impressive. Hear a big wall would be poured concrete, fast, cost effective and efficient. There the wall is all stone block and smallish sized blocks at that. It looks great. But then they've been at it for what 2000 years?
