The Olive Grove

I took this photo not far from the city of Lecce after a drive to see the sea in December.

My daughter is an artist living in Italy. When she was in school she used at art technique called 'stippling'. Stippling is the technique of using small dots to simulate varying degrees of solidity or shading. This reminds me of the art she did when she lived back here in the states.

I use to take students on European tours. Afterwards, my daughter would go through my pictures and use them to create her art works. I took this photo for her to use for her art work. I hope you find you like it. :) Deb V.

Apulia, or Puglia in Italian, is the region of Italy commonly called the heel of the boot. The heel is really the Salento peninsula in southern Italy bordering the Adriatic Sea. Since the region is very narrow, much of Puglia is coastline. Puglia is one of the regions less visited by travelers to Italy but has a lot to offer, including beaches, good wine and olive oil, and interesting towns.
