Under the Tuscan Sky at Le Mura Villa near Lucca

Under the Tuscan sun has almost become a catch phrase and indeed our summer guests at Le Mura mainly see pure blue skies. The view and the bright bold colours would have been loved by Van Gogh.

However, Our skies have many different variations from rivers of clouds smudging the high peaks.

The huge fluffy white candyfloss clouds trying to invade our valley but held back by the northern Apennines.

A stormy sky is a symphony in itself.

The pellucid summer skies are dotted with little meringues of clouds to rest one's eyes. 

When we first came to Le Mura it was the view which led me to this enchanted place but I never imagined, however changing the canvas would be.
