Intimate Sant’Antimo

I have a draft post on my gmail where I save travel ideas all over my relatively immediate neighbourhood from friends, blogs and the Internet in general. The Abbey of Sant’Antimo was one such. You never know when I might be looking, saving and following your footsteps.

As we were returning home from Siena this April, we decided to have a look at the Abbey of Sant’Antimo, since it was in our general direction and since Andrew Seal posted about walking over there for 10 km on thechangingpalette.com. And this, my friends, is how it ripples. With gratitude to Andrew, we didn’t walk but it was still lovely as you can see. Where next? (Click on the first photo to enter the gallery.)

I love the microlocation of the abbey, remarkably serene, withdrawn and protected.

Another leaning tower? Nah, just my mad photo skillz. 😀

Goodbye, Sant’Antimo, quite likely we will see each other again.
