Summer holiday collecting

Just returned from our summer holiday in Italy, in Tuscany and Lazio. Besides enjoying the great Italian dolce vita I have been collecting in a few very interesting locations: the Podere dei Castellini slags near Sassetta,  the La Marsiliana slags and the Serrabottini mine dumps near Massa Marittima. All trips were very successful, but it will be a lot of work cleaning, trimming and determining before everything is ready for photographing them. I owe a sincere thank you to my local friends Marco Bonifazi and Francesco Bonotti for joining and guiding me !
