Tuscany Days

I must admit: I did not make the best of this trip to Ita­ly over Eas­ter pho­to­gra­phi­cal­ly. But lame of foot as I am, con­stant­ly strugg­ling with pain, I was often satis­fied with sit­ting in the gar­den of our love­ly house with a glass of wine enjoy­ing the pan­ora­ma of the tusca­ni­an hills with Vol­ter­ra on a cliff on the other side of the valley.

May others roam the streets of Sie­na or San Gimigna­no – I lik­ed Lari and its cast­le and Ter­ri­cio­la just as much. This was sup­po­sed to be a holi­day for rela­xing in the first place, not an edu­ca­tio­nal jour­ney. Get­ting a bad cold (nasty cough espe­ci­al­ly) in the cold wind from the east befo­re Eas­ter did not fuel my dri­ve to explo­re the regi­on eit­her. Yet I found it a litt­le sad that my old work­hor­se, the Con­tax RTS II jam­med after the first frame. So I took no ana­log pho­tos and the Zeiss 18mm and 85mm were use­l­ess this time. Per­haps a good reason to go back to Tusca­ny some day.
