Carrara Marble Quarries, Liguria, Italy

The following two photos were taken through a dirty window of a train on a rainy day and shows the quarries where Carrara marble comes from.  I have since found out there are tours available to go through the quarries, which would be fascinating.  We, however, were on our way to Cinque de Terre from Florence, so did not have time to stop.

Not snow but marble quarries.
