The hilltop village of Lecchi (pronounced Leh-key), is between Siena and San Gimignano. I was staying at the wonderful hotel, the Villa Lecchi, which gives guests the most authentic Tuscan experience possible. The views from the villa are breathtaking and nearby are olive groves. I took this picture along one of the paths leading to the groves. The colours were beautiful, but somehow the picture wanted to be black and white. Or I was feeling nostalgic. The morning sun was shining, the birds singing; it was a very peaceful walk.
