Think of
Tuscany and you think of Sunflowers? Instead of the
obvious, how about a cropped version with which to
'tease' the eye of the viewer? |
Palazzo Pubblico [town hall!] and the
tower of Torre del Mangia on the Piazza del Campo,
Sienna. |

Capella Santa Maria di Vitaleta near San Quirico d'Orcia,
Tuscany. |
| |
|
Near Radda in the Chianti
region. |
Tuscany, Siena in particular, is Chianti country. |

Late light in in the Piazza Grande,
Montepulciano |

Another Montepulciano Piazza Grande composition. |
The charming

1 of 2:
The
Temple of Saint Biagio beneath the hill town of Montepulciano
. . . |
| |
|
. . . and once more looking out on the Tuscan landscape
from Montepulciano. |

|
Tuscan Sunflowers with my PhotoShop-inspired artistic license put
to use. |
Not a particularly stunning shot, but one that
would work well for a magazine feature about Tuscany
perhaps? |
| |
|
Rows of Tuscan Cypress
trees provide plenty of photographic interest, which in
turns leads to . . . |
. . . a typical artist's impression of
Tuscany. I also draw the curtains every night. ;o) |

The
long lens view to Castiglione d'Orcia, center,
and Rocca d'Orcia in the Val
d'Orcia region of Tuscany |

Space is of a premium in the hill
towns of Europe, so it's not uncommon to see these
three-wheeled vehicles everywhere you go, especially in
Italy where they are made. There is no steering wheel,
just motorcycle-type handlebars. |
A winding road and the inevitable Tuscan Cypress trees
that Tuscany is famed for. |
| |
|
|
To coin a
phrase . . . 'Under a Tuscan Sun' our
friends the Sunflowers thrive, live and
smile upon all humanity. |
 |

|
|
Radda in Chianti. As you'd expect in this region,
a majority of
the hill towns are surrounded by vineyards. |
Trees and Sunflowers. The trees are limbed to allow the
sunlight through to the fields. |
