16mm Monday

   Welcome to another installment of 16mmM. This weekend there was a fantastic market in Piazza Del Campo, with vendors selling everything from locally made meats, cheeses, wine, and olive oil to hand-made wool sweaters and other crafts. I found myself at the market at least 5 times this weekend, as it continued through Saturday and Sunday, finding something fresh and exciting every time.

   I captured this photo last night, about a half hour after the sun had slipped past the horizon. The typical dark blue sky was hanging prominently over the medieval city. A city that seems to truly come alive at night, especially this time of year. This was specifically apparent last night, when I observed more people in Siena's famous Piazza than I have seen since the Palio horse races of the summer months.

   Stay tuned for more images from my day trip to Montepulciano this past weekend. As well as more images from the market and the streets of Siena.

Salute!
