**Hello Guys! @imbi here.**

Welcome to my Color Vs B&W Challenge! I am trying to capture the beauty and the flavor of Tuscany, using the contrast between color and B&W photography.

Tuscany is a region in central Italy. Its capital, Florence, is home to some of the world’s most recognizable Renaissance art and architecture, including Michelangelo’s "David" statue, Botticelli’s works in the Uffizi Gallery and the Duomo basilica. Its diverse natural landscape encompasses the rugged Apennine Mountains, the island of Elba’s beaches on the Tyrrhenian Sea and Chianti’s olive groves and vineyards. It is also my current home.

**''Italy now has more forest and woodland than it has had in modern times – 35 per cent of the country is covered in trees. There are now 27 million acres – about 42,000 square miles – of forested land, more than double the area at the end of the Second World War, according to the National Inventory of Forests.''**
