Narrow Passage - Artistic Print  -  As some of you may know, I like to occasionally delve into the digital art side of photography.  I ran across an interesting tutorial for applying artistic effects that I thought would work well with this image.  This is that artistic rendering of a beautiful hidden alley through the colorful abodes of Vernazza Italy.  From our 2019 tour, the original photograph was posted soon after our return.

Renaissance - Beauty seems to be everywhere you look in Italy.  While on an evening walk in Florence, this magnificent cityscape appeared down a side street.  It is the Sagrestia Nuova, aka Medici Chapel, a mausoleum designed by Michelangelo and built from 1520 to 1534.  From our 2019 trip.
