Summer starts tomorrow... Break up the workday with a five-minute escape to the castles, grottoes and mini faraglioni of Monte Argentario, Tuscany!
(Click to enlarge and see slideshow.)
An Aragonese castle, one of several on this promontory that was once a Spanish conquest. Today, Americans and other foreign nationals have done a little conquering of their own by making second homes out of the strongholds.
These tiny seastacks remind me of their larger counterparts off the coasts of Sicily and the Campanian island of Capri.
Getting to know Argentario's thousands of unique nooks, crannies and formations is, to me, akin to a hard-core version of cloud-watching.
You can't see it so very well in this photo, but in the upper left is a natural arch that in person resembles a couple mid-kiss!
