The island of Montecristo, a photo from Livorno, Tuscany

Photographer's Note

The photo was taken at sunset from the panoramic road of the Argentario, what you see is the island of Giglio (the nearest and largest island of Montecristo and bottom). The island of Montecristo, formerly called Oglasa, is an island in the Tyrrhenian Sea and is part of the Tuscan Archipelago. Administratively, it is included in the town of Portoferraio and then in the province of Livorno. Is a state nature reserve and integral part of the Tuscan Archipelago National Park. The island, which originated from the lifting of a pluton submarine is entirely mountainous, with several rocky ledges overlooking the sea and consists almost exclusively of granodiorite with large crystals of orthoclase. The summit of the island of Montecristo, called Monte della Fortezza, is 645 m. Today they live permanently on the island and only two custodians, alternating every two weeks, some agents of the State Forestry Corps.

Ciao Valter
spesso la natura ci offre spettacoli completamente gratuiti e troppo spesso non sappiamo apprezzarli per mancanza di tempo o per semplice distrazione, fortunatamente c'è chi, come te, immortala certi avvenimenti che possiamo rivedere all'infinito.
Buona serata
Carlo

Caro Valter

Niente offesso, ma preferisco questo paesaggio di quella della tua foto precedente, anche se era bellissima ;) I colori calorosi e l'isole nel sfondo, sono gioelli del mediterraneo. Possiamo trovare questa scena e questa atmosfera solo in Italia, anche se ci sono bei posti dovunque. Hai fatto il mago con questa foto, le nuvole sono un sogno e mi piace molto come hai osservato quel "elusivo" Regole dei Terzi. hehehehe.

Ciaooooo, e bella nottata
Lisuzza

Incredible sunset. Excellent compo with a large part of the frame for the sky. Colours are stunning, sky is almost surreal. A really great sunset. Very beautiful catch.
