The Road to Ravello

March 02, 2014 in Italy, Photography

In June 2013, we visited the scenic mountaintop town of Ravello on Italy's Amalfi Coast. To reach Ravello, you take a bus from Sorrento which winds you around hairpin turns at the tops of cliffs with far too little concern for oncoming traffic if you ask me. Fortunately, we survived the ride, and didn't hit a single scooter driver.

All photos were taken with the Fujifilm X100s and XPro 1.

I love that "Toast" is one of the advertised items.

She was on her way to a wedding at the gardens.

This is the view from our table at dinner. Seriously.

I actually don't remember taking this photo. But I love the color and the way the scratches on the plexiglass make it a little mysterious.

Last June, I spent 11 amazing days in Italy, including one night in Siena. Here are far too many favorites from the day or so we spent there before driving back to Rome.

Tusancy - Pienza and Montalcino

February 28, 2014 in Italy

Back in June, I took an 11 day trip around Italy, mostly with cameras pressed against my face. By mid 2015, I may be finished editing all the photos from it. In the meantime, here are some favorites from Day 2. We rented a car and drove from Rome to Siena with some stops in Tuscany along the way. Here are a few shots from the towns of Pienza and Montalcino.
