PhotoHunt: Road - Bramasole, the villa of Frances Mayes

One of my favorite stretches of road, is the one that runs past beautiful Bramasole. Standing there, looking up at the apricot colored villa, then looking across the blackberry thickets to the grey mists of olive groves and the distant Umbrian hills, is a poetic moment.

Do you know your Robert Frost?





I first went to see Bramasole in 2001, then again in 2005 - and these pictures are from my 2006 trip.

This is my latest entry.

Your road looks so inviting and is so beautifully presented. Very nice. And, yes, I know Robert Frost and his many roads not travelled, and I enjoy his work very much.
