Lucca

After Rome, we paid a visit to Lucca. Here are some photos on the evening we arrived.



These first 3 photos were taken on the famous walls of Lucca. The city's defenses that were never used. These walls are so thick that people can cycle, take walks, enjoy themselves on them.




These two gentlemen having a game of chess.







I added an orange gradient to this photo for fun.

  1. Wow! These are beautiful! I love how on the 3rd one only part of the branch has lost its leaves, and the lighting on the last one. Great job! =]

  9. Jay...Thank you. Yeah I thought the two men playing chess was a classic....only I was too chicken to go closer and take a close-up. They might have yelled at me or worse. Lol, I got scolded before for taking a photo. I was taking a photo of some lovely flowers hanging from the windows of this lovely apartment when the owner must have caught me, he opened his window and yelled at me. >.< I deleted the pic out of respect for him, but I never went back that way again.

  10. Aww! I'd never go back there either! (I've always been afraid something like that would happen to me). But close up or not, it is still a gorgeous photo :) Stay away from mean flower-hoggers! *_*
