A few days ago I came back from a week in the Tuscany. It's a lovely place. Hope you like it!

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    The first really gives me that Tuscany feel. Adding the classic Fiat to the mix is wonderful as well!
    enjoy being here while getting there

    These are all great shots thumb.gif - really takes me back to several enjoyable visits to that area.

    Welcome to dgrin,

    Beautiful shots thumb.gif

    I really like the first shot. The wall and the car grab my eye first but then my view drifts up to that gorgeous background clap.gifthumb.gif

    clap.gif Guerito, sorry I missed these when you first posted them. wave.gif Welcome to dgrin.

    I love your eye and your feel for people. These are so much more than simple tourist shots. You really have a flair for telling a story. Nice work!

    Thanks for the link, jthomas. I really love your pictures! clap.gif I was wondering what the place would look like in summer. Now I know that I have to go back there definitely.

    Wonderful shots!
    thumb.gif Good eye!

    There are many places in the world I hope I live long enough to see, and Italy, Greece, Turkey and that general area are right up there. These photos of yours certainly do nothing to disuade me from that desire mwink.gif

    Very cool - I like them all. On the last one, the guy closest to the camera reminds me of a guy I know who came from that area.

    Nice work.......
    What I wouldn't give up to be there right now!!!!! Getting lonesome for some mountains... flatlands here in Florida :-) Guess it's time for a trip to the Carolinas and, a subsequent trip to NYC for some "city scenes".

    I left my heart.... in NYC. However, I DO love my life here in Florida so, don't get me wrong. Markjay

    Not in this gelateria, no. I had some cafe latte though, and a croissant, in a street cafe, and I know now that this is the life style that suits me. Really, going to work can spoil the whole day! :D
