Italy is a favorite place of mine for photography. I recently returned from the Tuscany region and the five towns of Cinque Terre on the west coast of Italy. The early morning sun lights up the sky over this Tuscany grove of cypress trees in the image above.

Below is a photograph looking down over the rolling Tuscany landscape from the town of Montalcino, also an early morning image.

Cinque Terre is a National Park in the Liguria region of Italy which contains five coastal towns. The photograph below is an evening shot of the town of Riomaggiore. This colorful town is built on the rugged hillside of the coast and is a great substitute for a StairMaster machine!
