Tuscan cliches

I always love how you can imagine places to be before you arrive there. Snippets from stories, movies, books and a little imagination thrown in to create a kind of understanding of place before you’ve even arrived.

For me, Tuscany was like this. From operas and Stealing Beauty and reading Under a Tuscan Sun and seeing other peoples photos….I imagined a hot, dry and beautiful rolling countryside filled with lemons and olives, hedges and rambling, crumbling walls. Pots filled with summer flowers and villas of orange and yellow, shutters contrasting against the walls.

And you know what? It’s exactly like that. And a little more. It’s just so beautiful. And if you’ll excuse me, I can’t stop taking photos in this magical early autumn light.
