A forgotten post card is a new greeting waiting to welcome guests to Stockholm Streets, Frogmore, Friday 27 Nov 12pm slt.
San Gimignano is a small walled medieval hill town in the province of Siena, Tuscany, north-central Italy. Known as the Town of Fine Towers, San Gimignano is famous for its medieval architecture, unique in the preservation of about a dozen of its tower houses, which, with its hilltop setting and encircling walls form "an unforgettable skyline".

Far on the right, you can see the lighthouse of Cabo de Sao Vicente, which is the extreme south Ouest of Portugal, at the vertical line of Ireland.
During an early morning birding trip, we sighted more than 50-60 of these birds in a millet field, feasting on the cobs. The day didn't yield any satisfactory shots due to low light. So we went the next day again, an hour before and I had some outstanding shots.
This is one of my favorite shots from the second trip. And on this day, the weather and light was awesome! The parakeets were at the same place, and we took time to find the right spot behind a bush that just gave a great viewpoint and the birds didn't mind us at all.
I love this sharp classic post card photo - something I couldn't get the earlier time.
Thanks in advance for your views and/or feedback. Much appreciated.

. . . Who would NOT like to vacation in the beautiful northern LP of Michigan if this is what you get to see every day? My parents rented a cottage here when I was 4 years old, but sadly I do not remember it!
Have a great week Facebook, Flickr, and 500px friends!
