Scene from an Italian Restaurant
Closing time on the Piazza del Campo Siena.
On the lookout
These street vendors were all over the Duomo plaza in Firenze. They were on the lookout for the cops since they're not licenses. It was funny when they would have to pick up their goods really quickly.
Peroni
While we did mostly drink wine, we did have a few Peroni (SAB Miller) and Bierra Moretti (Heineken).

Tuscan White Road
#35
Doors at the end of a street. The shadows and angle elements intrigued me. Processing with Topaz Clarity helped to pull out some the plaster textures.
La Spezia Containers
As we drove from Firenze to Cinque de Terre, I snapped this shot in the car as we drove past all the stacked containers in La Spezia.
Cat Nap
I was up early so I could walk around Riomaggiore before the tourists came visiting.
