Photography Friday: I is for ‘Italy’!

Pasta, pizza, gelato…. ahhhh need I say more?

Italy is my ‘most travelled’ country in Europe, heck, possibly in the world. It’s just stunning from the history, architecture to the food and scenery. I always felt safe and welcomed and gelato was never far away. I’ve limited myself to one photograph from each place I have visited in Italy in this post, but if you’d like to see more, check out my Italy photography gallery in my portfolio here »

As you can tell I did fall in love with the sunshine, food, architecture and scenery of Italy. It is a country I hold dear to my heart that is always so relaxing and lovely to visit. I hope you enjoyed this ‘Photo Friday’ as much as I did!
