Postcards from Italy
Tuscany and Cinque Terre
A series of photographs I took while on a journey through Italy's most beautiful region. I manipulated them in Photoshop to get a vintage, painterly feel.
{ 'Il vigneto del sole' }

This photo of a Tuscan olive grove was taken along the Chiantigiana, the most scenic highway in Europe, in the town of Greve.


{ 'Boschetto' }

Another photo taken along the Chiantigiana, in the town of Gaiole, this time featuring a stand of cypress trees with a breathtaking landscape in the background.
{ 'Montagne di Fumo' }

Another shot along the Chiantigiana, with wisps of smoke drifting up from a farmhouse.
{ 'Montefioralle' }

Photo taken in the ancient village of Montefioralle in Greve.
{ 'Firenze Duomo' }
8x8 Print

This photo was taken from atop the famous Duomo in Florence. The views of the city from the top were spectacular, and well worth the 400-stair climb.
{ 'Lunedi Burrascoso' }
11x17 Print

Taken in Pisa, along the Arno.
{ 'Ponte Vecchio Finestre' }
8x8 Print

The multi-colored windows along the side of the famous Ponte Vecchio bridge in Florence.
{ 'Vernazza Acquarello' }
10x10 Print

I took this photo at the start of the longest, most challenging, most beautiful hike of my life, along the 5 coastal villages that make up Cinque Terre. This picture was taken of the harbor in the town of Vernazza, our starting point.
{ 'Manarola Scogliera' }
8x8 Print

Another shot along the Cinque Terre hiking trail--this time of the unbelievably colorful and tightly-packed town of Manarola, perched high atop a cliff above the Mediterranean.
{ 'Celeste' }
10x10 Print

A far-away shot of the town of Corniglia, engulfed by the pale blue sky and ocean.
{ 'Fiore di Campo' }
10x10 Print

Taken along the Cinque Terre trail between Manarola and Riomaggiore, a shot of white flowers hanging above the sea.
