Yes, loose sand is the problem because they do eternal "temp repairs" by
filling the potholes with soil. Iv'e side-slipped a couple of times but

Boris, I really like the third one--very nicely seen, composed, and rendered.
The first one just looks OOF, and to me that detracts from some very nice
light, color, and tonal gradations. The second one doesn't do anything for me.

Boris,
#53 - you've always liked soft focus! I'd like some sharpness,
but that orchard/soft focus shot really grew on me. So...
#54 - Fun yes. I'd crop the right to get rid of the light.
#55 - A frequent signt here in Chicago, but good story/composition.

Nice gallery, Mark.
I don't know how much worth a Norwegian's knowledge about Italian flora
actually has, but maybe it can help you along a bit of the way.

Probably same genus as harebell (campanula).

Probably the Hypericum genus.
