I love cypress trees

please click on photo to see swallows



and this is something I found so amazing about italy, all italians seem to have a wonderful sense of landscape design. every hillside that was planted with grapevines or olive trees or sunflowers had various sized groupings of cypress trees perfectly placed in just the right places amongst the different crops. if you enlarge this photo, you can see the swallows soaring.
