After Florence, we remain in Toscane, near San Gimignano, a small medieval city. The vineyards, olive tree and cypress make a very romantic landscape. This day, the sky was cloudy, but the light is always very beautiful in this area.

nice! love the green atmosphere here! perfect place to take out the stress from work!

tfs,
tet

Belle prise très campagnarde avec une impressionnante palette de verts Annie. Je pense qu'il aurait été assez facile de supprimer les câbles électriques avec le clone stamp cependant.
Bien fait!

Réal

Belle composition de ces champs de vigne et de ces arbres si droit. J'aime bien où tu as positionné la maison principale mais il est un peu dommage que le ciel soit si blanc dans le haut - peut-être aurais-tu dû le couper (je sais que l'on ne voit pas souvent ce genre de photo sans ciel mais ici cela aurait possiblement fonctionné). Bravo!

Another very nice photo of you Annie!
Good view,pov and frame Such a good photo!
Take care
Rob

David
PS Many thanks for your comment on House on the Hill

So nice Annie! We have a TV series about Brittish coupples buying houses in Toscane, to live and others to start a Hotel Restaurants etc. So your scene shot matches the series perfecly! Great and perfect !

Merci Annie pour cette belle photo de la Toscanne. C'est un de mes coins préférés. Bien composée et bien réalisée, dommage pour le temps nuageux qui a un peu brulé le haut de la photo. Bravo et merci beaucoup.

Mario

Bonjour Annie !

Une image typiquement italienne, voir romaine avec xces grands cèdres, cyprès et oliviers, ces vignes et maisons aux couleurs ocres.

Atmosphère médivale trahie seulement par les fils électriques....

Superbe image.
Amitiés,
Robert

beautiful landscape in the Toscana. Good colours and great detail.
Jacobo

Hi Annie,
what a coincidence. I visited the same place about 3 years ago and San Gimignano is the place that will stay in my heart for a long time because of its beauty.
As for the photo itself - you captured the atmoshpere and colours of this place perfectly. I really looks the way you presented it. Thank you for bringing nice memories back :-)

Tu fais du travail remarquable Annie. J'aime beaucoup ton style photographique.
Je lisais ton intro. Très interresant.
Jeune retraite?
Vous etes très jolie et resplendissante Madame Belanger. ;o)

Bonjour Annie, quelle vue superbe digne d'une affiche publicitaire! Tres bonne composition, couleurs et profondeur de champ.

De beaux toits rouges qui ressortent de cette belle vegetation. Un peu surexpose a l'arriere. Mais difficile a controler dans ces conditions. Je me demande si un filtre polarizant aurait aide en ce cas-ci.

Bravo, Yan :)

ps: Un grand merci pour les mots chaleureux sur la photo "For Dawson's College Grief". Cet evenement m'a bouleversee.

Hi Annie,
Nice shot of wonderful Toscane. The green-grey Olive trees are beautiful. One thing is the area in the distance. This looks not very sharp and is a bit misty, But overall a nice shot Annie well done and TFS!
Hans

Ahhh this photo is fabulous Annie! I love the blue-greens! Great shot from a high point!
