This blog is intended to showcase my pictures or those of other photographers who have moved beyond the pretty picture and for whom photography is more than entertainment - photography that aims at being true, not at being beautiful because what is true is most often beautiful..

tuscany # 14 ~ a time machine

Butcher shop ~ Pienza, Tuscanyclick to embiggen
The wife buys pork for dinner. The butcher seems to be a bit worn out from the effort of slicing the pig for us. But, then again, it was rather late in the day.

On the subject of pictures series (see the following 2 entries), I ended up, although with no intent on my part, with a mini series of pictures like the one posted here - peering into small shops from across an alleyway. I couldn't help wondering about what was being sold in these very same places 600/700 years ago.

What a typical Italian village scene. Makes me hungry and wanting to go back!
