Here are the black and white photos I took on my recent trip to Tuscany, shown in the chronological order below in which they were taken. I love black and white photographs for simplifying a scene down to value contrasts, as well as emphasizing textures. Also in one post (contrasting to the two weeks’ worth recently) you can get a whole feel for the seventeen day trip in one stripped down post.  Enjoy scrolling through these rather stark, but carefully composed images.
