Siena, Italy – the Siena Duomo (Basilica)
Both of the choral groups I have sung with made tours of Italy some years ago. The church choir went in 2003 and the college chorus in 2006. I was using some Nikon film SLRs in 2003 and a D50 DSLR in 2006. This set will use the better photos from both tours. I have not gone back and reprocessed these to correct perspective, etc., so bear with me.

Enjoyed that beautiful collection very much. I'm not likely to get there. I love choral groups. The human voice is the most remarkable of all musical instruments IMHO. You must have a joyous history of remarkable memories. Are you still singing ??
