The leaning tree of Pisa

Tuscany is a yellow zone for 4 days, which means we are allowed to travel outside our municipality. Today I went to Pisa. I was worried there might be crowds, but it was very quiet so I felt safe taking a walk around the Piazza dei Miracoli where the leaning tower stands…crookedly.

I parked nearby and entered the piazza from a different entrance from the one I normally use and spotted a tree with the same lean as the tower.



I wonder if it is deliberate.

I forget just how beautiful these buildings are. Repeat visits are great.


The Arno River reaches the sea near Pisa. Late afternoon is beautiful by the river.




When I returned to the tower the light had changed completely.





I can’t believe I was able to enjoy the spectacular piazza with almost no people there.
