Tuscany-shire

near Toddington, Glos. view map

Duh! I know I said on Friday that I didn't want to post too many landscape photos for the Challenge, and here I am less than 48hrs later uploading a landscape!!

Still and all, I like this one - here we are in the most English of counties, in the middle of the beautiful shires on a typical early summer's day, and what do we see? Tuscany! No doubt about it! Reddy-orange tracks, distant green hillsides, an almost inky-blue sky and tall elegant cypress trees...I can almost smell the chianti and formaggio from here!!

Deepest England baking under a midday Mediterranean sun with an invitation for us to walk further along the road. Tells a good story.

Snap to all those below who thought you'd been abroad before seeing the title. Love the white flowers either side of the lane and the sky is tone mapped to perfection!!BV

Landscape or not - it's a great shot. Nice low horizon and large sky - and well judged on positioning on the road. -v

Blimey - very first thing I thought when I saw the thumbnail was 'Tuscany' - quite uncanny!
Mairéad10-May-2009 21:49
Bello! It really does look like a corner of Italy, gorgeous and I love that sky.

If the landscapes are going to be as good as this, Doug...then post as many as you like...in fact, the more the merrier.
Gorgeous.
