I only found out about this place when I looked out if there was anything interesting on my route during a day trip.
Lo and behold, this was shown to me and I was interested enough to stop here.
Now a little quiz question for you. What is so special about this landscape in Tuscany?
Basically it doesn't look much different here than in the whole area. Green fields cover rolling hills, here and there one of the typical farmhouses stands and cypresses grow along the roads and paths.
Now the solution for everyone (probably not many anymore) who didn't recognize it themselves.
This is one of the original filming locations from the famous 2000 movie Gladiator.
Here you can see the path that leads to the house of the protagonist Maximus.
In the film, however, the hills are covered in corn and the protagonist (Russel Crowe) dismounts his horse and wanders through the fields, gently running a hand over ripe corn.
At least for me, who loves this film, that definitely makes this place special.
Von diesem Ort habe ich erst erfahren, als ich mich bei einer Tagestour darüber informiert habe, ob irgend etwas interessantes auf meiner Strecke liegt.
Und siehe da, mir wurde das hier angezeigt und ich war interessiert genug hier auch Halt zu machen.
Nun eine kleine Quizfrage, an Euch. Was ist an dieser Landschaft in der Toskana so besonders ?
Im Grund sieht es hier ja nicht viel anders aus, als in der ganzen Gegend. Grüne Felder bedecken sanfte Hügel, hier und da steht eins der typischen Farmhäuser und an den Strassen und Wegen wachsen Zypressen.
Nun die Auflösung für alle (sind wahrscheinlich nicht mehr viele) die es nicht selbst erkannt haben.
Dies ist einer der Originaldrehorte aus dem berühtem Film Gladiator aus dem Jahr 2000.
Man sieht hier den Weg, der zum Haus des Protagonisten Maximus führt.
Im Film sind die Hügel allerdings mit Getreide bedeckt und der Hauptdarsteller (Russel Crowe) steigt vom Pferd und wandert durch die Felder, während er eine Hand sanft über reifen Ähren gleiten lässt.
Zumindest für mich, der diesen Film liebt, macht das diesen Ort definitiv zu einem Besonderen.

Schloss Wotersen, auch bekannt als Gut Wotersen, ist ein historisches Herrenhaus in Roseburg im Kreis Herzogtum Lauenburg, Schleswig-Holstein. Es wurde im 18. Jahrhundert von Andreas Gottlieb von Bernstorff erworben und zu einer barocken Gutsanlage umgebaut. Das Anwesen blieb bis 1996 im Besitz der Familie von Bernstorff und befindet sich heute in privatem Eigentum.
Das Schloss erlangte überregionale Bekanntheit als Drehort der ZDF-Serie „Das Erbe der Guldenburgs“ (1987–1990), in der es als Stammsitz der fiktiven Adelsfamilie diente.

Schloss Wotersen, also known as Gut Wotersen, is a historic manor house located in Roseburg, in the district of Herzogtum Lauenburg, Schleswig-Holstein. It was acquired in the 18th century by Andreas Gottlieb von Bernstorff and transformed into a Baroque estate. The property remained in the possession of the von Bernstorff family until 1996 and is now privately owned.
The manor gained nationwide recognition as a filming location for the ZDF television series “Das Erbe der Guldenburgs” (1987–1990), in which it served as the ancestral seat of the fictional noble family. (Quelle/source: Internet)
The Black Country Museum. Lovely day out and where some of Peaky Blinders is filmed. The series is intelligent, violent and has incredible cinematography, if you haven’t seen it then it’s epic, give it a go. The packing cases in the picture show the main families name, the Shelby’s.
One of the photos from a nice trip to the north. This was taken at Carnlough, a village in county Antrim. Some scenes of Braavos in Season 6 of Game of Thrones were filmed in this harbour.
Thanks to odysseycoachtours.co.uk for the tour.

Puzzlewood located in the Forest of Dean is said to have been the inspiration for Tolkien's Middle Earth as he was a frequent visitor. These woodlands have also been used for filming series such as Dr Who and films like Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
Another lovely house in Lacock. You can see why the village is often used as filming location for historical films.

Via di San Michele. A filming location from I, Vitelloni by Federico Fellini, taken on my D7000 & converted into B&W.
Its a brief scene where a hungover Alberto, after the canival, is helped by Moraldo to his home where he finds out his sister Olga is leaving for good.
I tried to find this spot on my first solo trip to Rome in 2018, but the rain ruined my plans.

Located about 20 miles from Las Vegas, got its name from the Red Sandstone that is abundant here. Needless to say, it has also been used in quite a bit of filming for TV and Movies.
Beamish Open Air Museum in County Durham is one of my favourite places. A reworked oldie. As Bill reminded me this street featured as a filming location for the final episode of Downton Abbey.
This photo isn't one of my highlights from my visit to the Adršpach Rock City in the Czech Republic, but more of a gimmick. The highlights are yet to come.
But when you're at a place as famous as the filming location of "The Chronicles of Narnia," you have to use it somehow.
Besides, that gate between the high cliffs looks pretty spectacular.
So follow me through the open gate into the Kingdom of Narnia. And better stay together so none of you get lost in the rock labyrinth.
By the way, I took the liberty of removing the rather massive handrail on both sides of the gate. It's quite an extensive "intervention," but it just looks so much better.
Dieses Foto ist keins meiner Highlights von meinem Besuch bei der Adersbacher Felsenstadt in Tschechien sondern mehr Spielerei. Die Highlights kommen noch.
Doch wenn man schon einmal an einem so berühmten Ort ist wie dem Drehort des Filmes "Die Chroniken von Narnia", dann muss man das auch irgendwie verwenden.
Außerdem sieht dieses Tor zwischen den hohen Felsen schon ziemlich spektakulär aus.
Also folgt mir durch das offene Tor hinein ins Königreich Narnia. Und bleibt besser zusammen, damit sich keiner von Euch in dem Felslabyrinth verloren geht.
Ich war übrigens so frei den ziemlich massiven Handlauf auf beiden Seiten des Tores zu entfernen. Das ist zwar ein recht intensiver "Eingriff" doch es sieht einfach so viel besser aus.

The Dark Hedges, an avenue of 18th Century beech trees near Armoy in County Antrim, Northern Ireland. The road has been used as a filming location in the television series Game of Thrones where it was known as King's Road. I think I'm one of the few people left in the UK who can say that they've never seen an episode of Game of Thrones.
Now it's about time we took a closer look at a place that impressed me like few others before: the Adršpach Rock City in the Czech Republic.
You've already seen a few pictures, but now we're going to get into it again. Symbolically, I'll start again with a photo of what I consider to be a really cool entrance gate.
Right at the start, though, I have to say that the title is actually incorrect. The magical world is definitely there, but it begins a good distance before this golden portal. Just consider this my artistic license.
To show the impressive height of the rocks on both sides of the path, I chose a perspective from a distance. And here, too, I took the liberty of removing the handrails on both sides of the gate.
Jetzt wird es aber langsam mal Zeit, dass wir uns intensiver mit einem Ort beschäftigen, der mich beeindruckt hat, wie nur wenige zuvor, der Adersbacher Felsenstadt in Tschechien.
Ein paar wenige Bilder habt Ihr ja schon gesehen, doch jetzt steigen wir noch einmal richtig ein. Symbolisch dafür beginne ich erneut mit einem Foto dieses, nach meinem Empfinden, richtig collen Eingangstores.
Zu Beginn muss ich allerdings gleich sagen, dass der Titel im Grunde nicht korrekt ist. Die magische Welt ist zwar definitiv da, doch sie beginnt bereits ein gutes Stück vor diesem goldenen Portal. Betrachtet das einfach als meine künstlerische Freiheit.
Um die beeindruckende Höhe der Felsen zu beiden Seiten des Weges zu zeigen, habe ich hier eine Perspektive aus der Distanz gewählt. Und auch hier habe ich es mir erlaubt die Handläufe auf beiden Seiten des Tores zu entfernen.
There is a sea of white daffodils under the mighty trees at the front entrance of Groomsbridge Place. The moated manor with origins in 1230 is now being refurbished as a hotel.
The manor house as you see it here was built in 1662 by its owner, Philip Packer, who was both an architect and a lawyer. He was helped by his friend, the famous architect Christopher Wren (St Paul's Cathedral), so no wonder it is a beautiful house!
In 2005, Groombridge Place was used as a filming location of 'Pride and Prejudice', and in one scene Keira Knightley was leaning against a tree, with the view of this photo behind her.
My title is based on the first and well-known part of William Wordsworth's poem 'I wandered lonely as a cloud':
I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.
A sapling reaches for the light under the canopy. Puzzlewood located in the Forest of Dean is said to have been the inspiration for Tolkien's Middle Earth as he was a frequent visitor. These woodlands have also been used for filming series such as Dr Who and films like Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
Another nice point of view in Monument Valley is the North Window. Just about a mile west from Artist Point.
The Dark Hedges is an avenue of beech trees in County Antrim, Northern Ireland. The trees form an atmospheric tunnel and became an Iconic scene since it was used as a location in HBO television series Game of Thrones.
We headed to the Dark Hedges during a rainy and windy morning. Because of heavy rain at the night before, the road connected to the Dark Hedges was closed to the traffic. We had to carry our camera gears and walked to the place under the soaking rain and violent wind. Luckily, we took advantage of the road closure and managed to take quick shots. One of my shots ended up as an ICM image due to the strong wind.
The cloisters at Lacock Abbey were the filming location for some of Hogwarts' corridors in 'Harry Potter and the Philosoper's Stone'. Other rooms of the medieval nunnery (founded in 1232) and parts of the village of Lacock were also used in Harry Potter films.

The Mayflower Pub was used as a filming location for the two part London episode of Death in Paradise.
DI Humphrey Goodman is permitted to take a team to London to question potential murder suspects, under the condition they work with DI Jack Mooney. Mooney takes them out for a drink here.
The establishing shot was taken from a similar angle.
My late dad got me hooked on Death in Paradise. He died on the 22nd of March last year, a day before his birthday. He would have been 70 this year.

Craco, in provincia di Matera, contava quasi 2000 abitanti quando, nel 1963, a causa di una frana di vaste proporzioni, iniziò ad essere evacuata e parte degli abitanti si trasferì a valle. Nel 1972 un'alluvione peggiorò ulteriormente la situazione, impedendo un eventuale ripopolazione del centro storico e Craco vecchio venne completamente abbandonato trasformandosi in un paese fantasma. Il fatto che il borgo sia rimasto intatto ha contribuito a rendere particolare l'abitato di Craco, che per tale caratteristica è diventato una meta turistica ed un set cinematografico per vari film.
Nel 2010, il borgo è entrato nella lista dei monumenti da salvaguardare redatta dalla World Monuments Fund
The ghost town
Craco is a ghost town and comune in the Province of Matera, in the southern Italian region of Basilicata.
The old town was abandoned due to natural disasters. The abandonment has made Craco a tourist attraction and a popular filming location. In 2010, Craco has been included in the watch list of the World Monuments Fund.

About the photograph.
Am y llum
The photograph was taken from the footpath between the Amis Reunis boat and the Observatory Tower on the southern part of the village, right next to the River Dwyryd, and looking toward north.
In the photograph, the tall building is known as the Bell Tower, and parts of the buildings to the right of the photo is known as The Watch House. In the background, you could see The Dome.
About Portmeirion.
Portmeirion is a tourist and historical coastal village located on the estuary of the River Dwyryd, about 2 miles south east of Porthmadog, in North Wales, and owned by a charitable trust.
Some of the buildings already existed around the middle of the 1800s, such as the hotel, along with Castell Deudraeth.
Sir Clough Williams-Ellis, the chief architect bought most of the buildings. Between 1925 and 1975, he designed, built, and improved the area into an exquisite village, in the style of a Mediterranean feel.
It had since become a most popular tourist location, and often used as on-location filming site for various television shows.
Nowadays, most of the buildings are used as hotels or self-catering cottages, while tourists have a day-out looking around.
About the television show called The Prisoner.
Ynglŷn â'r sioe deledu o'r enw The Prisoner.
The Prisoner is a 1967 British television series about an unnamed British agent who chose to resign from Intelligence services.
In the series, he was imprisoned in a mysterious retirement village at a secret location. Although the village was used for retired secret agents, he was placed there because his superiors and bosses wanted to know why he chose to resign.
In the show, his name was never used, and he was referred to as ”Number Six, as everyone else were given numerical codenames. The mysterious village was overseen by an administrator whom was often referred as Number Two.
Number Six was played by the actor Patrick McGoohan, whom also created the show, as well as writing and directing some of the episodes. He played the main character in 16 out of the 17 episodes. Only played his character in a minor role in one episode, because at that time, he took time off from The Prisoner, to attend a filming of a movie.
In each episodes, different actors played Number Two, and each tried their own attempts to get Number Six to reveal his reasons for resigning. This was often done by means of tricks, drugging, brainwashing, identity theft, and so on.
The usual plot of each episode would have Number Two attempting to use their own means, bring Number Six close to the breaking point, where Six could finally reveal his reasons, but often in the end, Number Six often saw through the attempts, and rebuffed the attempts.
Portmeirion was used as a stand-in filming location for the mysterious village due to its unique style.
