Now that’s what I call a roof garden, Sue!
Best wishes, Pete.
Isn’t it just! With quite a view, I might add….
I can see teh trees are enjoying the view!
Teehee!
That’s the first that I see the “teh” in conversation. V. educational 😀
😀
My wordpress does not show what emoticon you’ve used in reply. Explain yourself please 😀
That was a smiling face!
😉 🙂 thank you
It’s what all of us Lucca tourists go to see, Sue, and we’re curiously confused when having climbed to the top we find they are — truly — there, and not some optical illusion! Magical, like a image from a fairytale.
Absolutely!

Sooner or later Nature conquers any human construction.
Ah, but were these deliberately planted? Anyway, good to see you here, Marcelo 😊
They must have been.

Guinigi again 🙂 That is one of the loveliest, most original and likable natural tops I have ever seen. Excellent choice and capture for this theme. Thank you 🙂
Always happy to oblige, Paula!!
I like the constancy of the word always :D. There will be more then. Yeah!
But of course!!
I hope they’re in pots!
Well, specially built beds, yes!
I like Pete’s comment!
Haha…as you are a gardener, I can see why!
Ah, yes, I remember that. Another place we’ve both been, parallel travel partner 🙂
One day we should compile a list of parallels!
Indeed it is, and what a beautiful composition too, adding to the sense of height.
Well, the streets are so narrow, it was tricky to get a shot!!
Good Shot !!! https://onemanoneclick.wordpress.com/
Thanks!!!!
Woow that’s incredible!
You never know what’s gonna be next in Italy. So many surprises around these old small cities 😉
But isn’t that great! Plenty of new experiences…
Hello Sue…nice Sunda shot BTW I am off to CO for the next 10 days and I may not be able to comment on BLOGs I follow…when I return, I’ll get caught up. I do have daily posts scheduled, so there will be something from me to view. Have fun!
Thanks for the heads-up Robert!
Love the geometry in this image… it really forces one to look up that tower.
Thanks, Björn….the geometry and the processing!
This photo is beautiful !
Thank you, Sylvie!
Ah yes, Holm oaks! 🙂 Well familiar with those, Sue. But not in so lofty a location. Spectacular shot and it works well in black and white. Hoping I might just be able to squeeze Lucca into my Florence jaunt, but I want to do everywhere justice. We’ll see! 🙂
So where does your familiarity with Holm oaks come from, Jo? Travels, or closer to home? Apropos Florence and Lucca, how long are you going for?
Algarve, Sue. You’ll see a few in my walks. 4 nights and a lot to see! X
Well, you would really want 2 nights in Lucca, I would say….and I would have thought no less than 3 in Firenze…..doesn’t add up, does it?
Not at all but I can dream xx
We all need our dreams!
I would love to sit by them. The view…
..is marvellous!
what a great perspective and trees!!
Thank you!
Wonderful. I like the way that the Torre Guinigi seems to rise like a flower stalk from the other buildings with the oaks on top as the flowers
I like your description, Lisa!
😊
