Italy Photos

Just click on the photo to see a larger copy of it.  All these images were cropped for size purposes, the originals have more of a "border", and usually look better.

These images are from our wonderful trip to Italy in September 2004.  The images, audio, and videos below (not the ones at the links) are from an inexpensive digital camera that I never used before the trip.  The real photos are at the links below.

Here are the categories of pictures:
    Assisi
    Florence
    Food
    Monte Fiescone
    Orvieto
    Pisa
    Rome
    San Gimignano
    Siena
    Vatican City
    Venice
    Virterbo

Here are the digital pictures:

The Alpenines (pronounced al-pe-nee-nees) Mountains from the bus
The Roman Colosseum
A singer in a gondola on a Venitian Canal
Our tour guide Marta enjoying music in Tuscany
The Pisa Bapistry
The Pisa Field of Miracles
The Leaning Tower of Pisa (you'll notice that the top of the tower appears to be straightening a bit - that's how it was built!)
Musicians at a Roman dinner
The Tuscan countryside
Entry of the d'uomo in Florence
An accordian player during dinner in Venice

Here is something new to me.  Our new inexpensive digital camera has a video record mode as well as an audio-only record mode.  Since I did not have time to test it before we left (I now wish I did), I did not know how big the files were going to be or how good the quality was going to be).  Therefore, I didn't capture as much audio or video as I could and should have :-( .  I've never imbedded audio or video before so there may be some problems with these.  If I figure out how to make it better, I will.
