Italy in Black & White

Tiny Village of Borgo, Trentino

Margarét and I are back on the road again. This time we’re in Italy and before I start getting into the writing mode, I’d thought I’d post a few photos.

Italy is an incredibly colourful country, but it is also textured like no other. I think it has a lot to do with the various civilizations that have lived here, which have built one up upon another for centuries. I love the way black and white photography accentuates textures, so I thought I’d make this a black and white themed post.

Enjoy!
