Scanno
Scanno is a village so nice I had to show it twice it also sits higher than most at over 1000m above sea level but what really sets Scanno apart and so many other old hill towns like it is the feeling of discovering some truly special sights even if they have been seen by countless others it still feels personal. Like most hill towns the upper most location is usually home to a castle or fort or sometimes just a church or two built so that defense was downhill, then as the population grow it builds around and down the slopes of the apex building. The village has a timeless feeling that transports you back several hundred years as life has not changed here that much, the senior women of the village contribute to this feeling by still wearing traditional “costume muliebre” that makes the repeated uniform seem like they are nuns of an religious order.
I took this on Oct 11, 2012 with my D70s and Tamron 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 Lens at 65mm, 1/400s, f10 ISO 200 processed in LR, PS +Lumenzia ,Topaz, and DXO Nik
