Photographer’s Note

Now Roccascalegna (near Chieti) in a little rural village dominated by the ruins of the castle, built in spectacular position over the rocks…

This is a really nice photo. I like the rolls of hay in the foreground and the castle on the hill. It could use a bit more contrast and brightness, I did a workshop, just a little adjustment in Photoshop. Hope you like it.

nice composition, but you could have posted a smaller picture, this is a bit difficult to see!
