austere

Pitigliano, Tuscany, Italy

despite their old world character very old towns in Italy often sport an austere side...obviously the locals are not interested in tending flowers and gardens

the venerable three wheeled truck is an Ape (pronounced ah-pay), which means bee...the sound of their engines explains why that name

une jolie compo de ces vieilles ruelles ! on se demande aussi comment ce petit véhicule réussi à y passer tellement les ruelles semblent étroites ! v

An austerity in this type of architecture has a completely different meaning for me.
It has a lot of character and uniqueness. V

Well not the most colorful village in Italy. Really austere for Tuscany...V.

Nice and clean with a lot of character in this old part of the village. Nicely captured.

The real world! Love the little blue truck.

I agree with Walter, sometimes it's more interesting seeing where the tourists don't go.

This image is proof that it's often more interesting where the tourists don't go.

Despite the austerity, this town still has a certain charm.

Small enough to fit into a small corner. Love the masonry of the old buildings. V

Wonderful street image with that great Ape in view, a great mode of transport for these narrow streets.

I wish I would have been with you on this trip. Fabulous image of both the little truck and the narrow streets and old buildings in which you found it. ~BV~

This tells it like it is. I like its graphic appearance. So familiar/nostalgic to me."V"
