19.12.06 "The World As I See It . . . "

By Scott Shephard

The title of this post is inspired by a song by Jason Mraz by the same title. In the first stanza he sings,

The world as I see it is a remarkable place . . .

From a bird’s eye view I can see it has a well-rounded personality

From a bird’s eye view I can see we are family.”

This photo, taken south of the Italian town of Sienna, shows off the Tuscan countryside at its spring best. During the four days we spent there this past May, we had about 30 minutes of sunshine, bookended by rain and clouds. And I was fortunate enough to have my camera overhead just after sunrise on the day the sun decided to show itself..

Tuscany does indeed have a well-rounded personality. And, like many places I have been both abroad and certainly in South Dakota, there is no doubt that the world is a remarkable place.
