Honorable Mention
Light and Fog in Val d'Orcia
DESCRIPTION
The landscape of the Val d'Orcia, a Unesco World Heritage Site, was celebrated by the painters of the Sienese School which flourished during the Renaissance period and its images, particularly the depictions of landscapes in which people are portrayed living in harmony with nature. With this image I wanted to describe the fantastic landscape of the Val d'Orcia in Tuscany, taking advantage of the soft light of dawn that enters the autumn fog, putting in the foreground the Belvedere farm and in the background the wonderful Tuscany Hills.San Quirico d'Orcia, Siena Italy
