Scenes from Tuscany and Umbria






Octoberr 2, 2007

Well, we are now home in Dundas, catching up on things here, culling through the mail, doing laundry and reminiscing while we review our photos from Italy.

And, because we are no longer in Italy doesn’t mean the blog ends. There is still much to say and show, even if it is just “for the record”.

The blog space is very restricted for photographs for each posting, so until I set up a web site, this blog is a reasonable place to show some more photos of the trip, even if no one views them.

One of the things the camera doesn’t do well (or at least I have so far been unable to be very successful) is to do justice to the wonderful scenery we found in virtually all of the places we visited and along the way to these places.

But I think it is still worth showing some selected “scene” pictures, which is what I have done in this posting. In order to post them they need to be much reduced in size and resolution so they are less impressive here than the unaltered version is on my screen. Even so, I think some are quite attractive.

I think if you click on the photos you will see a slightly larger version.

I don’t think it really matters where each of these photos was taken but, for the record, the order is as follows:
San Gimignano
Monteregionni
Pienza
Todi
Orvieto
