Ragtime

Scraps of lace and torn fabric strung together decorate the courtyard of a winery in Chianti, Italy.

Gelateria

One of the highlights of the small Tuscan town of Monteriggioni was stopping by this gelateria/wine bar and practicing my Italian by ordering two scoops of their wonderful gelato. Delizioso!

Summer Days Journal

This image began with a photo from my London trip. I added a fancy mask and then decided to place it on a book texture from szantoszabolcs on the Flickr texture site. I added a lock and key to make it look like a diary and then a wine label.

Village of Chateauneuf du Pape

From the hilltop castle ruins which I depicted a few days ago, you can walk down steep, cobbled lanes through the wine village of Chateuneuf-du-Pape. The clever sign at the upper left belongs to Le Verger des Papes restaurant, which has lovely views of the vineyards from its dining terrace.
