These images of Tuscany look to me like San Gimignano, the town of towers. I would have loved to have carried my 20D there, but I took my Canon S2-IS instead, as I had a total hip replacement surgery just 4 months earlier and it was all I could do to walk up the hill.
Walking down was even harder. I had to traverse. But, I didn't hurt myself, though I was sore the next day, and enjoyed the experience.
