I recently returned from our Tuscany Experience photo workshop which was shared with a great group of photographers and for many of them, their first visit to Italy. Tuscany did not disappoint with the hospitality of the people, the fantastic food and the light and landscape providing beautiful views.

The weather also gave us dramatic skies and after a hard rain one afternoon, this incredible double rainbow which seemed to form directly over the famous Cappella di Vitaleta sitting on a distant hillside.

The Tuscan sun also competed for the ‘best landscape’ category with this early morning view from the hilltop town of Montalcino.

It wasn’t very hard to find wonderful subjects to photograph, from vineyards surrounded by colorful flowers, to local intimate town scenes, to the wheat fields around the famous group of cypress trees called the Torrenieri Trees….Tuscany gave everyone photographs to cherish for a lifetime.
