Memories of Tuscany: Towards the vineyards of San Gimignano

Memories of Tuscany: Towards the vineyards of San Gimignano
A view from the hilltop town walls towards the north west here. As can be seen, this is wine country and so vineyards dot the whole area. We can also see, as with many other medieval towns, there are also new dwellings beyond its walls -a necessity in the reality of today.

Enjoy this sultry vista in full screen.

Made for full screen my friend. A touch of HDR creates that impression of a Tuscany painted landscape perhaps but the vista, as is the edge of town is all real enough. Glad you enjoyed to see this oldie again.

Cheers, Herb

If I had been shown this picture, with no words, I would know it was Italy, and have a good idea that it would be Tuscany. A stunning overview Herb. All the best for the rest of the weekend. Rosa.

My pleasure to bring you the views of the Tuscany in our history and art classes perhaps. A journey almost forgotten for me but much revived in these photos. If you like them, I shall post more :)

Have a good week too, now back in the rain. Herb

A fantastic view over the rooftops. I like the colour of the buildings especially the roof tiles. Such a verdant landscape too............and you've captured it all in great depth. I also like the tiny splash of red in the bottom right corner!

Definitely worth viewing large, on black. A magnificent shot Herb.

Good to have you with me on this journey Keith. As said to Toz and Rosa here, very pleasant memories revived. Even these newer buildings have those lovely warm clay tiles. Together with the ever-present cypress trees and rolling hillsides they make Tuscany. We have the added bonus here of the vineyards too. Relived you noticed the red car, I was worried that you might have missed it :)

Cheers mate and enjoy the rest of this rather wet weekend. Herb

Loved the hills of Tuscany when I was there way back when (the seventies!) I wasn't a photographer yet, so only carry a few memories.

****** Un petit côté HDR qui fonctionne assez bien.

Herb Riddle club has replied to Jean-luc Drouin club
Thanks Jean-Luc. Yes HDR was the tool used to lift this landscape a little and give more the impression of a painting here.

Regards, Herb
