Planning Tuscany 2017 – Cappella della Madonna di Vitaleta
The main shot The Cappella della Madonna di Vitaleta was visited in 2016 as well. Unfortunately only at a time of the day when the sun was high up in the sky. In 2017 there should be plenty of time when this can be visited. I guess best time is late evening when the sun is lightning up the entrance […]
Planning Tuscany 2017 – The Houses
We are planning to revisit Tuscany in 2017. The main reason is that the autumn season we had in 2016 didn’t look as nice as we anticipated for the Val d’Orcia and Crete Sinesi photo locations. Therefore planning another short-trip only to these 2 main areas for spring time 2017. Agriturismo Baccoleno I am moving […]

Venice

Cinque Terre
We went from home by car down to Como in Italy for a one night stay because travel distance was too much to do it in one go. So, our travel truly started on the next day when we drove to Levanto. The road led us via Milano and Genova down to our first destination. […]
Planning Venice
