When visitors come to Tuscany they tend to photograph the images that Tuscany is known for - cyprus trees, sunflowers, rolling hills, vines, olives, Fiat 500s, Vespas etc. but Tuscany is not a theme park, people live and work here and Barga is typically still a working normal Italian town. It just happens to be a stunning medieval hilltop town! Exposed telecom and electric cables, dented cars parked in small squares, this it is what defines the true Italy, which is what I’m trying to do with my Daily Sketches.
After many weeks without rain, we finally had a thunderstorm lasting an hour or so. Early evening there was a beautiful soft light, the sun trying to blast through the haze and the duomo just visible.
