To get to Gubbio we went down the other side of the moutain. A very different feel here; not as much money, some accommodation villas but they are isolated with no 'services' such as our own stop tiny village shop with everything in it. The town of Gubbio seems industrial and more modern buildings, a little rundown. The drive into this area showed the old village which is spread out, sprouting out of the hill above the new and exploring the old village in the rain revealed its own wonder. It is becoming all 'too much' with old towns and villages, piazzas, windows, doors and beautiful buildings Somewhat under construction also (someone is doing a roaring trade in cranes in Italy) it had its own charm and is easy to see why Bernie (our host) had this town on his recommended list.
I am still taking 'a sense of place' snapshots but have expanded beyond pictures of windows and doors for my 'special' photographs. New ideas have sprouted thanks to Cherie and Jon whose points of view extend my own and i am enjoying reflections and learning to use my camera better.
