Italian Cypress hills

During my weekend in Montalcino I took a couple of photos of the majestic Cipressi trees found in the area.
These were shot with my iPhone and edited in Instagram #oforolimpia

To close my tuscan paragraph for now “windows” seem to be the perfect subject…Can’t wait to go back in a couple of weeks with my friends, especially for those who haven’t been yet it will be a really special weekend!

One of my fathers biggest passion: riding for hours into the country side.
Teddy chilling in the vines
My dad taking them out for a ride
This fellow was parked outside a church in Pienza
And I know this video has nothing to do with this post, somehow it’s one of my favorite tunes by the Band of Horse, (the horse part made the connection)
Enjoy and have a lovely weekend!
The hill and the storm

Even though on our trip to Pienza the weather wasn’t fantastic, I was able to take some interesting shots from the inside of the car driving back home. The storm was pretty bad and the saying that the rain was “heavy” is an understatement.
So here is my attempt at capturing an angry mother nature:
Chiesetta in Val d’Orcia
Hills
Famous Cypress group
The front view
All these photos where taken on the drive Pienza-Montalcino!
Definetely one of the prettiest drives with or without rain! :)
Follow the yellow flower road

Finally arrived home and survived my first night surrounded by different species of bugs, a small price to pay for the beauty of this place.
(aah the joys of country life)
Pretty drive back home

(small issue: I forgot the cable to my camera…yes, one of those things a pro should never do…oh well…so all the upcoming photos belong to my iPhone ;)
Happy Friday!
