HOW WOULD YOU LIKE ....?

Tuscany holiday – day 4 - while I continue to sort out and process all the shots I took during the Independence festivities.

How would you like to live in a place like this? A fascinating place to visit but, in my opinion, a very difficult place to live in. And this is in the middle of Summer; imagine what it would be like in the middle of Winter.

This is the main street of Monteriggioni. So much character in the stonework (accentuated by the processing) but so deserted. It was still about 8.00pm when I took this shot and activity at Monteriggioni was at its minimum.

We had intended to dine here but prices were excessive.

Thank you very much for looking and for your wonderful comments and the fav’s on yesterday’s, picture.
Impressive! But no, I don´t think I would, it looks a bit cold place to live

Love the texture of the rugged stonework and yes, really deserted :)

Beautifully processed picture.

I like the texture of the stonework and the roofline. It does look like a tough place to live, at least based on this photo!

I'm sure it was quite fascinating to see it all, and to imagine all its history

Fantastic shot - love the textures and composition, and the B&W.
September 23rd, 2014  
Love all of the texture in the photo. The exterior looks forbidding.
September 23rd, 2014  
Great pov, textures, lines.
September 23rd, 2014  
i think when the snow and ice built up it would be no fun at all.
September 23rd, 2014  
Lovely image - do you shoot in hdr? Lovely textures and pov
September 23rd, 2014

Great shot, love the textures.
September 23rd, 2014  
The textures in this are fabulous
September 23rd, 2014  
Great textures but very bleak in its setting, I am in agreement with you about it being difficult to live there. It doesn't give you the comfort feeling!
September 23rd, 2014  
Wonderful gritty textures, nice edit.

Always difficult to tell from the outside. I`ve been grow up in an old house. What I remember the most, you always have repair works and the heating is terrible. But the looks outside of this building is beautiful. A great capture and nice processing.

Great view. These walls made of stone of these beautiful old houses remember to me the small village where I expend holidays since I was a child. Great capture.

Gret texture to the stonework> Should imagine it is very peaceful,
September 23rd, 2014  
I would LOVE it! Willing to at least TRY it...don't think I could convince my husband though. Lovely image and love your SC fav
September 23rd, 2014  
i like your accentuated processing dione, looks great and i could cope with the tuscan winters
September 23rd, 2014  
It does look amazing but I don't think I could cope with the winters.
September 23rd, 2014  
Incredible capture:)

Fantastic capture of this massive stonework building!!! You are right about what it would be like to live there!!! It does look like it would be cold and dark and dank!!! Love the red door!!!
September 24th, 2014  
Great textures in the stones and bricks. And a hard place to live, I agree.
September 24th, 2014  
It does look somewhat stark, although still appealing. Nice shot!
September 24th, 2014  
Makes me cold to think about it. Nice shot.
September 24th, 2014  
Great detail. Yes to visit. No to living there. Well done.
September 24th, 2014  
Yes I imagine very cold, love the old buildings, great capture Dione. Fav
September 24th, 2014  
love the textures ing the building.
September 24th, 2014  
What a historical beauty. I imagine there is a big fireplace inside in winter.
September 24th, 2014  
Excellent, well taken Dione, it looks to me that you have over sharpening,
September 24th, 2014  
Love the bricks. They are so pretty to look at but maybe not live in. Would love to go to Tuscany though!!!
September 25th, 2014  
One day I will find out how to do this - another magical street scene.

@dannydavies I have to agree with you. But it was too late to reprocess. Thank you for your comments and critique.
September 25th, 2014
