First light from our garden
Moon still high in the sky
Warming up
Not quite over the hills
First sliver of the sun
Bee getting an early start to the day
Blazing away
Misty lowlands
Stretching up
An island in the mist
Catching the early sun
Ready to scatter
Red and orange
Morning dew
Fuzzy sage
Long sage leaf
Climbing higher
Pieve dei Santi Stefano e Degna
Pieve dei Santi Stefano e Degna
Old well
A bit more modern than other art in the area
Piazzale Montemaggio
The gate to San Gimignano
City wall
Heading up Via San Giovani
Our first of many towers
Torre dei Becci
One of the shorter towers
Saying hello
Overtaken by vines
Of the 72 towers, 14 remain
Similar designs, slightly different heights
Torre del Diavolo, with old neighbor rooflines visible
Another tower
Towers everywhere
At the top of Torre Grossa
Looking west to Parco della Rocca
Looking south
Looking east
Taking in the town
What a short tower
Enclosed bell
Looking east, with the Ex Convento San Domenico on the edge of town
At the top of the town
Peeking down into Piazza della Cisterna
Lots of frescos inside
More greyhounds!
Five in a cluster
Time to seek food
Food!
Inside Duomo di San Gimignano
Torre Grossa and its passthrough
Piazza del Duomo
Hopping outside the walls for a bit
Gelato time
Vote communist!
Sunset begins back in Castiglione d'Orcia
Happy hour
Oranges and purples
The whole sky's colorful
Fiery backdrop
One more shot
Dinner time - pasta
Steak and duck
And an espresso
Plus some tiny tarts we picked up earlier
