Monti Simbruini, a photo from Frosinone, Lazio

Photographer's Note

The Monti Simbruini are a mountain range in central Italy, a part of Apennines mountain system.
The 'Simbruini' name derives from the Latin sub imbribus ("under the rain"). They are also popularly known as "Rome's Alps".

I Monti Simbruini sono una catena montuosa sita nel Lazio al confine con l'Abruzzo, appartenente al sub-appennino centrale e in particolare al tratto del Subappennino laziale.
Confinano a nord con i Monti Carseolani ed i comuni di Rocca di Botte e Camerata Nuova, ad est con il territorio abruzzese, a sud con i Monti Càntari, ad ovest con i Monti Affilani e la Ciociaria.
Il nome deriva dal latino “sub imbribus” (sotto le piogge). Sono anche definite le Alpi romane.

Hello Valter,
simply and classicaly composed autumn scene. The tree in the foreground creates some depth for the rest of the elements of the landscape. Great colors and light.
Small pool with its blue reflection is a real add on to the whole image.
Thanks for sharing
Kamila

Hello Valter,
A nice view where the little pond in the centre is well framed by the trees in the foreground and the barrier of trees further back. Clearly autumn has arrived also to Italy but the grass is still generally green. This seems to have been a very nice day with clear light which you have captured well with good contrasts.
Kind regards,
Gert

Ciao Valter
questo tranquillo laghetto funziona da perfetto specchio.
La natura si spoglia e ha già preso i classici colori autunnali, la giornata sembra molto bella e trovarsi li deve essere stato un vero piacere.
Saluti
Carlo

Hi Valter,
Nice view and composition, really a classic autumn scene. It can be tricky though as one may think that it is only a small pond/pool, but looking steadily, it is not small after all as there is a tree beside it...or maybe, I'm the one being tricked here?
Kind regards,
Michelle

Hello Valter,
charming and very picturesque landscape!
I like your presentation and POV giving us good impression how exceptional the place is.The FG with the tree,than the little pond and finally montanious landscape behind-three equally strong focal points,that lead us through your shot.
and in the end something that´s obvious in your shots,namely the colors-here really an important part of the composition(contrast to the blue sky is just amazing!).

Wish You a nice day
Krzysztof

Hi Valter,
The little pond looks like an eye in this capture. The tree is well placed and its shadow along a diagonal provides depth to the picture. A beautiful landscape here!
Kind regards
Gunnar

Hi Valter
The tree branches look as if pointing the eyes into the picturesque landscape - very clever observation on your part - to where the stunning water pool is. Indeed an idylic sight, full of rich colours, excellent clarity and it' so well composed and exposed shot. A evocative shot that you've conveyed the feeling of vast open space so well, Congrats
Best regards

Une belle image prise le jour de mon anniversaire :-)
De jolies teintes chaudes automnales en contraste avec la couleur froide du lac et du ciel, un paysage d'une grande beauté très attirante
Belle soirée

Hello Valter
Excellent choice of viewpoint, omitting any sign of human habitation, or even existence (apart from the string tied round the tree-trunk: why, I wonder? Lovely autumnal tones.
Regards
Will
