My mistake was that I looked up Quimper in an online French dictionary - not on Google! It's also a Peruvian-born spanish Explorer, after whom the Peninsula in Washington was named. Also faince! You chose a good name for someone who likes interesting/beautiful things and travel. Now I know! About the music. I do enjoy certain classical a lot. I am not big on the heavy symphonies. I think my first symphony was Mahler. I used to listen to a lot more classical than I do now, but if it sounds beautiful to me, I love it, no matter what it is. I have clearly spent too many hours on the computer these past few years. Oh, well :) Everything goes in cycles.
I think things are mushrooming in Tuscany! There are three significant things about this shot: 1) the plethora of mushrooms, 2) the women, and 3) the setting.
When we lived in Pennsylvania, we learned it was a big mushroom-growing center.
Here in Ocala, at certain times of the year, we get mushrooms (some huge) that pop up overnight all over the yard. It's not really a problem as I either knock 'em down or mow 'em down.

Onions? No they are mushrooms allright!
I've been curious about your name. Ciel de is "sky of," right? What is Quimper? It sounds familiar, but I couldn't find it online. Nice name, but ???

Sorry, that should be faience (pottery).
Those mushrooms are called porcini, common Italian name for the Boletus edulis.
