  • 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.

  • I will not drive to Florence

    I really won’t. It’s horrific. Like being in a nightmare video game where you get points for all the times you get sworn at or overtaken on the inside. So we stayed a couple of nights in Tuscany, in a place that offered a free shuttle. These are the lengths to which we will go…

  • 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.

  • Palazzo

    It seems to be possible to visit a city a dozen times, and yet neglect to fully see its greatest sight. Or it’s possible for me anyway. We went to the main Palazzo, and I got the shot of the tower through the courtyard that I’ve been trying and failing for years – hurrah! The…

  • Siena

    It’s been a while, partly because my PC finally gave up the ghost after years of abusive file uploading. It’s winter and horrid, so I thought I would edit some of the photos I took in Italy back in the Autumn. You can always find a new angle in Siena.

  • Ayutthaya -4

    Ok, I’ll stop – it does all end up looking the same after a while

  • 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.
