Mirror, Mirror,
On the wall,
Who is the fairest of them all?
Why Siena, of course!
A reflection of a rather sombre sky and Siena’s Piazza del Campo in a mirror framed in the typical painted ceramics of Tuscany.
It’s almost been a year since we visited Siena and my feet are itching to walk through those medieval streets once more. There are places that charm you, lay their spell on you and bewitch you, making you feel welcome – not as a stranger, but as a long-lost friend that is returning home. And for some reason that I cannot fathom, that is how Siena made me feel.
For the time being, all I can do is dream about this Tuscan gem. But I know that one day I will return - because a piece of my heart is still there, wandering those narrow, winding streets.

The reflection is wonderful and I really like the frame on the mirror, it's really interesting.
ReplyDeleteWOW... BEAUTIFUL PHOTO!
ReplyDeleteLoree, next time you visit Italy try coming over to where I live, ASTI, in the north. This little town is also medieval and this Sunday will be celebrating the Palio of Asti, it is much older than that of Siena.
Sue.
Oh I love the photo, Loree...it's so artistic and dramatic! It could be a good book cover! :) I've never been to Italy...but after reading your post, anybody would love to see Siena! :)
