tuscany mostly gardens

have been out of country for 3 weeks and seduced by tuscan gardens
my recorded highlights

lucca-a charmed city-less touristy then most and authentic

puccini opera house lucca
siena



 

such texture


of course the duomo goes without saying
a random midieval church in a small town
but the gardens are the most stunning ever
understated and spectacular


villa torrigliani in sant'andrea in caprile
i had the pleasure of being in a villa in the tuscan hills near lucca for two weeks so saw many wonderful gardens here are some of my favorite images


noteable grills
beautiful paving




moss growing over all stone elements
