First challenge is getting there - here we have the snaps of Pisa and Siena taken on the way.

Tower with leaning cypresses. Is this proof of morphic resonance?
Baptistry and Nave.
Dark tower. Much more dramatic at night.
Now where can we nick some columns from? The other arcade was just the same.
Street scene in Siena. A bit touristy, but not a bad place to have a city break in February?
Sienna rooftops.
West end with added crane. Anyone fancy a go with the clone brush?!
Detail of west door.
The bell tower in origin-0. Sorry, in-joke for APLers!
Where the nave was meant to go. No way they'ed have roofed it at this width tho. Bit of a Stars project, in fact.
Backstreet with red Otto. No idea how it got in there.
Main square. Excellent icecreams.
Going down. This was a lot steeper than it looks.

San Quirico is not an easy place to photograph - hopefully we can do better as we find out where the light is when. May involve getting up a little earlier ...
