Tuscan Clouds

I have been offline for the past month as I was traveling in Tuscany, Italy - never read a newspaper, nor listened to the radio, didn't watch TV or approach a computer.  I spent most of the time camping under a few olive trees on the outskirts of Volterra, reading and swimming.  One day, when visiting the medieval town of San Gimignano, the sky grew cloudy and we were soaked by a heavy shower. Even my young children noticed the change in the sky and they agreed that it looked just like a painting.  The scene reminded me of Joni Mitchell's lyrics:

These are the clouds of Michelangelo, 
Muscular with gods and sungold

                     Clouds over Tuscany
