San Gimignano

Not so long ago we went on a walking holiday in Tuscany, staying every night in a different hilltop town, one of which was San Gimignano. Each day was full of its own surprises and delights, but there was one thing that happened every day – our walk started downhill in the morning and ended with a long uphill in the afternoon!

San Gimignano contained many architectural delights, although to be honest these are not really evident in this picture. Instead this drawing attempts to capture some of the colours that were so common in the landscapes of that area.
