Cortona ii

A minor blogging celebration this week with over 200 fellow bloggers now following thechangingpalette.  By way of a thankyou to you all I thought I would re-post, as a final submission to this weeks Weekly Photo Challenge, my most favored photo since I started blogging last May.  It was taken early one summer’s evening from the Youth Hostel in Cortona, Italy and shows  the bells of the Chiesa del Torreone reflected in our bedroom window with Lake Trasimeno seen shimmering in the distance; a moment of pure magic.

This is also a moment to reflect on all the encouragement, support and inspiration that is to be found in the blogosphere and to which you all contribute in your own brilliant and unique ways.  Thanks again for making this journey such an enjoyable and enriching one.

Campo vii

One of the great memories and pleasures of visiting Siena is sitting in the afternoon sunshine on the warm stone of the Piazza del Campo enjoying the view of the magnificent Palazzo Pubblico reflected here in my wife’s sunglasses.
