Mini Theme: Tuscany's Crete Senesi
Oct 26, 2017 23:37:34 #
Tuscany's Crete Senesi is an area of clay and limestone hills to the Southeast of Siena. In late fall and winter the tilled fields are a gray lunar landscape, but as soon as spring comes, the winter wheat bursts into action and transforms the landscape into rolling mounds of vivid green corduroy. The late afternoon sun brushing the rolls and folds of the hills is spectacular. Cypress lined driveways and lanes swirl across the landscape drawing the eye to hilltop hamlets and farmhouses.
The Crete Senesi should be a 'must' on any photographers trip to Italy. Taken in early April this year, I'm sure golden harvest time is just as special.
Comments, suggestions or your memories greatly appreciated.

Beautiful shots of a gorgeous region of the country. My wife and I were there a few years ago in the fall. Unfortunately the fields were all harvested but even so, it was lovely to see.
Thanks for posting these.

There is something special about the light there, let alone the scenery. Beautiful.
