Memories of Tuscany: Classic Siena

Memories of Tuscany: Classic Siena
My last photo from this wonderful city is one of the main streets up to the high centre of town. To me, this was my favourite shot of the trip. Its…well, just so classical Italian. I love the straw coffee colour of these buildings and any artist out there might be familiar with a couple of the main names for their paints: ‘Raw Sienna’ and ‘Burnt Sienna’, which are both very similar colours to what you see here. I wonder if the names derive from scenes of Siena like this?.... Our Ipernity friend Daniela, below, provides the answer.

Have you ever been to Rochdale my friend. I know the main market street is steep and in fact has some interesting cobbles but to compare it with this... that's taking imagination too far :)
Glad you liked it.

Take care and HANW. Herb

Thanks Sarah. I think you would be right about keeping living in them. Very happy that you liked it just the same. Living in Switzerland was always a childhood ambition of mine, but high in the mountains in a flowered chalet!!! I envy then your memories of which I hope all were good.

Take care and enjoy the weekend. Herb

Brilliant! Siena thankfully never seems to change- it's more than 40 years since I last was there and it's instantly recognizable.
