Buildings crowd into a narrow street, they are composed of yellow stone, sunlight dapples the 3rd floor and people walk in the cobblestoned lane below, a few umbrellas cover chairs on the right, people stop to chat on the left. Clouded sky hangs beween the buildings. San Geminiano.

X-E4, 18-135mm
A cobbled street leads between old apartment buildings, hundreds of years old the surface is uneven and the windows off center. A plant grows from a small planter on the left, creeping up the building entrance. A cobbled laneway leads to a staircase, a lower door for the cantina and an upper door for the house, stone walls lean in, suffocating the small space but sunlight shines on the windows and lends an illusion of height and space. The foreground is bathed in shadows as the church on the side of the square is bathed in glorious sunlight, the bell tower standing above the entrance
