Great work on these photos, Scott!
3 years agoYeah, they’re probably French gauls.
3 years agoDon't knock shaggy and windblown. At least you've got hair. I'd have to be on a bike trip for at least three years to match that photo.
3 years agoMaybe you guys don't speak Italian all that well, but Rocky's "bellisimo" gesture says it all.
3 years agoSecretly I think Scott loves to be prodded by you, Rachael. It keeps him in line and young. He knows it.
3 years agoI was so glad I went exploring. Before that, I didn’t really care for Portoferraio that much because of the crazy drivers. The hidden cove was amazing with all the wonderful colors. I was frustrated that I couldn’t capture it with my phone camera so I had to get Scott out there.
3 years agoOn the other hand, if you hadn't gone out you wouldn't have gotten that photo of the shadow that is driving me nuts. Thanks a lot Rachael!
3 years agoIt can't be another building because there is no other shadow on the face of this one. It's kind of driving me nuts, thank you very much!
3 years agoYes, and I’m greatly in her debt for it. I really need an extra prod at times.
3 years agoYou’re right! I knew there was something odd about this photo, but hadn’t quite figured it out. The shadow of the grid fence at the bottom gives a bit of a clue though because it gives. A sense of the sun’s angle. I think it must be cast by a different building behind to the right, that coincidentally is at the same angle as the staircase wall.
3 years agoWell, Rachael succeeded in getting you out to explore the town.
3 years agoThat shadow is driving me nuts because at the top of the staircase shadow is a little top thing that I can't figure out where it is coming from. Am I simply going nuts? Am I not seeing something? Or, maybe that's it! I'm not seeing something because it isn't there! It might be that the extreme angle of light hitting the top of the staircase combined with the angles of the staircase creates a shadow of something that doesn't actually exist. If that is the answer that must be why you took the photo. Nice exercise in seeing. Well done, Scott. Or, I'm still not seeing something.
3 years agoThe colors really are striking in the old town. I’d like to have had another reasonable day for a second pass, but the weather has definitely turned.
3 years agoYes looks like plumbago to me comes in various shades of blue

I think you should be doing some more research on that mysterious shadow.
