Pitigliano Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

The small town of southern Tuscany appers on the hilltop as a strange creation of the nature. Indeed, its houses seem to form an organic unity with the rocks of the plateau. But it is truly human - shows perfectly how the nature and human life can influence each other in a harmonious way.

Oh, beautiful skies and landscape, Andras! Very pictural and the details in the FG add a lot to the picture! I love how this houses merge and jut from the rough and wild rock..
Great picture, TFS!

This is most charming! What struck me immediately upon seeing this photo was how much the houses look like they're part of the rocks. Then I read your note. This unity you mentioned is truly well presented in your photo.

Ciao Andras
Great photo of this town. I know exactly where you have taken this from, from the hairpin bend before the bridge right?
Excellent, I wouls have cropped the left as the right hand side is tight to the frame.
Bravo

Hi,I like the shot,the clouds above look very pretty.But only the stripe of the jet is distracting.In the age of digital photography and photoshop I would remove it.Regards Franz

Very nice. I like the colors composition, green at the bottom, all blue at the top, and brown for the town and the rocks. You captured fine clouds, very lucky to get so different clouds. The town is beautiful, alone on the rocks. Good work, I appreciate your way of looking at an intalian little town. Livia
