Tuscany – Italy

Photos from Tuscany in Italy from May 2024. Pretty much all from the well-known scenic area of Val d’Orcia in Southern Tuscany. It’s a beautiful landscape of rolling hills, cypress tress and olive groves.
While you may think some of the colours in these images have been enhanced – they are pretty close to the reality as seen there. In fact, some of them had to be de-saturated a little !
I have also included some B&W & colour versions of an image as each is equally interesting.

Lisbon LX Factory

Photos from LX Factory in Lisbon. Lots of street art and murals which I’ve concentrated on here.

Located under the 25 de Abril Bridge, it’s set in and around a number of disused industrial buildings. These were formerly a textile and print works. It consists of shops, markets (especially on Sunday), studios, offices, bars and restaurants. It’s a great location to just wander around – and I was particularly impressed by the bookshop – complete with flying bicycle !

Overall, well worth a visit when you’re in Lisbon.

Flavours of New Zealand – Wine Fair

I recently photographed the “Flavours of New Zealand” wine fair event in the Aviva Stadium. It was held in the Havelock suite, with a great view out over the pitch.

It was a very interesting day – starting with a masterclass led by Martin Moran. The main display of 35 tables represented a lot more producers, as some of them imported wines from numerous different producers. Anyway, here are a few photos to give you a taste of the day.
