Photo of the Week: Siena

I was warned about Siena.  Before arriving in Italy, many guidebooks said that Siena's magic had captured the heart of countless Americans.  Sure, I thought, I've been pitched that line about many places.  But then I visited the city and experienced it's magic.  I won't try to describe what makes it a special place.  It has to be experienced.  This photo is of just one small gem in a wonderful city.

Market Window in Siena

This photo was snapped on a side street in Siena.  Because of narrow streets and tall buildings, much of Siena spends the day in the shadows, with rays of light shining through here and there.
