Weekly Photo Challenge : Containers

Those who know me well will know that this week’s challenge required little thought!

The magnificent container above is at Poliziano Estate, near Montepulciano, Tuscany, while the one below is located at Cantine Talosa, located right under the Montepulciano’s Centro Storico.

The containers above and below are at Tenuta Vitereta, to the north west of Arezzo.

The final exhibits, above & below, come from the Boeckel winery in Mittelbergheim, Alsace

Cheers!

Weekly Photo Challenge : Street Life

This week we are challenged as follows – “In a post created specifically for this challenge, share a photo that brings a street to life.” The original challenge and other people’s clever interpretations can be found at The Daily Post here

As soon as I saw this challenge, I immediately thought ‘Italy’ – where better to find scenes that bring streets to life. Whether it be tourists shopping or locals chatting, lovers strolling arm in arm, signs suggesting road works, or the ubiquitous ‘motorini’, I could think of no better examples than some scenes from Arezzo, Tuscany.

I’m afraid I couldn’t limit myself to just one photo for this challenge!

Weekly Photo Challenge : Treasure

Thinking treasure, immediately brought to mind ancient treasures. Cosa (c. 273 BC) was an Etruscan stronghold. A Museum has been established on the site of the ruins, near the present day town of Orbetello, Tuscany. Many ancient treasures recovered there are on display.
