Sunny day in the Sibillini

Drove up through the fog from Norcia into the sunshine and walked across the mountains through the beech woods.

Breaking into Roman amphitheatres

Urbs Salvia - amphitheatre
Nobody around, so we climbed the fence to get into this Roman amphitheatre. Then found someone had locked a gate, trapping our car, so we had to drive across an olive grove to get out.

About

I am in Italy working on a new book on Umbria and the Marche for Footprint, due out in April 2009. After that’s finished, at the end of October, I’m going to Rome to help write another new book. My photos will also be used in these books.

Julius.
