For the photographers out there looking for those perfect Tuscan shots, here are some important tips on where to find them. Grab a pen and pencil (in case… you know… the pencil breaks)
1) Drive all over Tuscany, especially the Val d’Orcia area
Hmmm, I swear I thought I had more tips, but I’m drawing a blank. I think this might be it – just drive around with your eyes open. Surely it would be challenging to drive with your eyes closed, but I’ve seen it done in Florida (and got the metal plate in my leg to prove it). But the truth is the entire Tuscany region is one giant postcard, and Val d’Orcia is perhaps as picture perfect as it comes. Simply going from point A to point B anywhere in that area will produce more unique landscapes, quite different than the drive you took to get to point A.
From Florence to Lucca to seeing Volterra through the eyes of Annie Adair, to Siena, Pienza and the rest of the gems in the South, here are some of the best shots we took
Incredible Shots!
VIVA TOSCANA 🙂 nice photos !
Funny but I have almost the exact same shots from Sant’ Antimo and Il Casale – but you must have a better camera! 🙂
Any decent pictures I post here are purely accidental 😉
Driving San Quirico to Pienza frequently in summer, at least once a week I almost drive into someone who suddenly decides there and then to stop by the side of the road and take a must capture shot. I’ve also twice spotted ladies crying with emotion at the sight of sunset behind the farmhouse with the chapel (la Vitaleta) but then southern Tuscany does that to people. Great photos.
well its no coincidence 3 of the shots came from that spot. I would cry too 😉
