If you want to log in to the I Bonsi, then you have to go through the archway, with its tower spanning allover the way. Do not go upstairs, but …. by the slightly open door, where the soft, shimmering soft light comes from.
Here, even the 7 – 14 lens was at the end. I stood with my back to the wall :). That was the moment where i wished a fisheye lens in my bag …

Another spooky day in Tuscany starts. Foggy and with dimly light. Just ok for vampires or werewolfs :) Just a joke. The fog lifted and faded away within a few minutes and the sun was seen again. Birds singing their songs of spring. A beautiful day in Tuscany started.

Olympus E.M5, what else ?

Into the dark

I Bonsi was a real gem. And when we talked with the people of I Bonsi we suddenly got the permission from the owner to have a guided tour thru the cellar rooms of this ancient building. Here just two impressions of the large vine storage, the ancient wine barrels made of wood, still partially in use.

Another day in Tuscany

After the incredible experience with Olympus in Zingst, I needed a contrast of emotions. So we went to Tuscany, Italy, more precisely to Reggello Sant’Agata, region Florence. We rented a room from “I Bonsi” :) Well, that was a real surprise. An estate of a special kind. Our small room had about 65 square meters size, located on two levels and located in a tower of the building. In the middle of nowhere, no traffic, no noise, pure nature, some peacocks running around freely, visiting us from time to time :)In the evening it was pitchblack, no light, just BLACK at night. And yet the next delicious pizzeria was only 10 minutes by car. Who dares at night only with car light corridors to cut into the darkness, to drive on narrow winding roads :)

An enormous place, with about 140,000 olive trees
