ITALY Photos - Tuscany photos - 2006 (partial)

Travel photographs: A beautiful 3-week trip to Rome, Tuscany, and Florence in May 2006.


  I started this record with pictures of more familiar tourist sites and first views of Tuscany.  Still coming (eventually!) 2 more days of Tuscany (Cortona, Collodi-Uzzana, and one more day of Rome (San Clemente & Parthenon).
    Most recently uploaded:
    Hilltop town of VOLTERRA, Life at LUCCA WALL, DUOMO of SAN MARTINO in Lucca, and CARRARA'S MARBLE QUARRIES.

    The travel photos are mainly almost step-by-step pictures for friends interested in the trip.  More info and links to be added later.
    The videoclip of a guitarist in Volterra is now included in the Volterra gallery.

Fabulous photos! I see that Italy is a place where both nature and art are as gorgeous as possible. At least this side of heaven.

A lot of great images here. Italy is wonderfully photogenic and you did a great job showing it from different perspectives.

K, you must be getting excited about the upcoming trip you mentioned earlier.
We stored photos on the flash cards but also backed them up onto a laptop I brought along. I also brought, just in case, a Memorex 4gig matchbook sized USB storage device (Traveldrive) which got good reviews for being very robust. But, in Turkey, I went into a camera shop and just asked them to put my pictures onto 2 CDs, very inexpensive, and then I was able to empty the flash card and start fresh. (No laptop that trip.)

Hi again Andrys,
Your photos are so inspirational for me...can't wait for our trip. I'm wondering if you store your photos on your flash cards (just bring a lot) or if you have a system for downloading them onto your website or other when you are abroad?
