Almost Wordless Wednesday: Italian Bottles at Sunset

By
Real Estate Agent with eXp Realty of California, Inc. CA DRE #01490977

Italian Bottles in the Sunset

 

Tuscan glass bottles at sunset

 

There were several sets of these large and beautifully shaped greenish bottles scattered about the property at this villa/condo we stayed at in Tuscany. Not sure if they served a useful purpose in the past, perhaps for wine or oil, or not.

 

This collection at sunset was particularly striking. Of course it could have been where we were that made the difference!

My cousin is currently living in Italy....her husband is stationed there. I know she has mentioned collecting these bottles. They are very popular!

Sharon Tara  - that's cool. I didn't ask about them when we were there - my guess is wine. They were beautiful

Thanks Rebecca Gaujot, the Go To Realtor®  - I haven't met anyone who hasn't enjoyed visiting Italy.

Ron and Alexandra Seigel  - same here. I've been a number of time but have yet to explore the southern area, Amalfi, etc. On the list.

Jeff, I am sure where you were did make a big difference ... however the photo speaks for itself with such a beautiful backdrop.

Beautiful photo!  I used to travel a lot in France - but then I went on a trip to Rome.  That's when I really fell in love.

Hi, Jeff. That's an awesome sunset and a fantastic view. The picture is very well done. I don't think it was just the moment.

That's just a lovely photograph Jeff.  Donald has been all over Italy when he was in the Army. He was stationed in Germany at the time, but traveled a lot.

Jeff Dowler CRS , think if those bottles could talk and tell about the times they were full, but getting emptied.  What a great spot and beautiful shot.
