Stilo 5
They call Stilo most famously “The City of the Sun” with its East facing high slopes at an elevation of 386 m I can see how people that observed Stilo in the morning would name it that. Agriculture has been the mainstay of Stilo for centuries with a large fertile river valley at its feet but in modern times iron deposits in the surrounding mountains has led it to being a center for metal production. This scene captures the sunrise from the Ionian illuminating the backside of the 15th century church of San Francesco and its large bell tower also the remains of structure that I attribute to former city walls but correct me if I am wrong in this thinking.
I took this on Sept 18th 2023 with my D850 and Nikon 28-300mm f3.5-5.6 at 170mm, 1/250s, f5.6 ISO 2500 processed in LR, PS +Lumenzia ,Topaz, and DXO
