The story behind the image
Another short trip to Tuscany in Italy brought us to the beautiful town of Volterra in October 2002. It is a beautiful town, but not as busy as Florence, Siena, or San Gimignano. Yet it has all the charms you would expect from a historic town in Tuscany: old buildings, small streets, and traditional Italian lifestyle.
And there is a lot of history to be discovered: besides the town center with its old churches, there are:
- The Teatro Romano, the remains of a Roman amphitheatre
- The Acropoli Etrusca, an excavation site
- The Parco Archeologico Enrico Fiumi
- The Fortezza Medicea
We had some heavy rain in the morning, but when the sun came out, I could capture this beautiful image across the Parco Archeologico Enrico Fiumi.
Nice.
