  • Florence or Siena, I forget.

    I think that picture through the window was taken in Siena’s Palazzo Ducale. There we also saw some graffiti from 1490, saying ‘Catarina e bella’. I guess nothing changes really.

  • Firenze – B&W

    I am a fan of black and white photos of buildings – you get a more minimalist feel. And it’s a really good way of drawing attention away from annoying tourists in shot.

  • Firenze

    Is it awful that, all things considered, I am not a huge fan of Florence? It has a lot of lovely things, but somehow feels less than the sum of its parts. Still, here are some of the lovely things.

  • Contrada

    For such a small city, Siena is home to a massive number (17) of Contradas – districts really – each of which has its own flag. They get all tribal ahead of the Palio horserace. I do love these teenie wee alleyways, that open up onto splendid vistas.

  • Grand

    The Royal Palace in Bangkok is fantastically bling and very beautiful. It’s a curious mix of what looks like 19the century French architecture, and very Thai details.

  • Ayutthaya- 3

    You can’t really capture the scale of Ayutthaya in photos – there’s a lot of it, over a really wide area. Reckon it would have been amazing at sunset. We didn’t go at sunset – it was around lunchtime, and so, so hot.

  • Ayutthaya 2

    It’s nice on a cold and dark autumn morning to look at holiday snaps. Less nice to consider there are no more holidays this year, but them’s the breaks.

  • Ayutthaya

    The old capital of Thailand is completely amazing, not least because of the bat colonies living in the tombs. I had fun playing with split toning becasue hot tropical skies are unforgiving to the amateur photographer.

  • City Lights 2

    Bangkok is flat, and you can see for miles on a clear night.
