(Tuscan style) decay # 33 ~ it's everywhere

No matter where you go, there you are.

Somehow it just seems appropriate to begin a stream of Tuscan pictures with a picture of decay since so much of Tuscany - primarily the nearly century old (and older) manmade parts, the really interesting parts - is in the state of decay, albeit a truly beautiful state of "preserved" decay.

This is my favorite decay photo so far! I love the touch of yellow flowers that seems to enhance the yellow green mold. I sure wish I could have gone with you!

Nice addition to the collection.

Oh dear, I'm more than 60 posts behind on your blog :)

Awesome composition, as always. I guess there is something to be learned from the way you cut the lower corner. I would have let it touch the edge - and it would have been much less involving. Love it.
