Dear Summer

With summer coming to an end, here are a few photos recapping a study abroad course in Italy that I attended. The course focused on gardens and landscapes of the Tuscany and Piedmont regions, but of course I also experienced many other aspects of Italian art, architecture, and culture. Europe's rich history and aged landscape offered an insightful contrast to the US landscape I was accustomed to. I'll add more photos and a few sketches within the week to accompany this batch.

  1. That view from Piazza Michelangelo looks insane. Where is this?
