The Avenue
On our third morning in Val d'Orcia, the weather forecast predicted light fog, so we decided to drive up to the slightly elevated viewpoint of Poggio Covili. As you have to park directly on the road, there aren't many parking spaces, but luckily only one other photographer was already there who was even kind enough to move his tripod so that we had a little more space. Initially there was only a very light haze during the blue hour, but as the sun rose, its light warmed the moisture in the ground, resulting in a little more mist, which was beautifully illuminated by the golden morning light. Although I had hoped for a little more mist (just like on our first morning at the Podere Belvedere viewpoint), I am very pleased with this image and couldn’t resist to take a panoramic which I think fits this composition very well. I hope you like it too! :)
