Belvedere

Posted on 7 October 2009 by Jasper

This photo is geotagged. View it on my photomap!

Belvedere Farm, shot in the Crete Senesi area of Tuscany, Italy. A very very beautiful and desert-like area.

Check out Bibi’s take on this one.

Heel, heel fraai. Fijne toning, goeie compositie en geweldig uitzicht met de heuvelruggen achter elkaar! :)

Love that misty sky. Great framing and subject. The overall feel of this image is great. Best in the series…imho.

‘Belvedere’ means: good view!

Awesome picture, kinda reminds me of the movie Gladiator… Really like this one, perfect toning.

Ik ben het met allen heel eens, een geweldig uitzicht en een mooi licht- deze foto is zo prachtig dat je of niet meer moet reizen naar de Toscane of zeker wilt gaan naar dit heerlijke landschap, de aarde ziet een beetje zoals woestenzand eruit, maar erbij heeft PS wat meegeholpen!

Thanks all.

@Wim: And indeed it is!

@Superdeboer: Some scenes from the Gladiator were actually filmed in this area.

@Philine: Deze omgeving is zeer bijzonder, want het is inderdaad als een woestijn. De grond ziet er daadwerkelijk zo uit.

I like your Italian series, especially this one.
After browsing your archive, I think that your photography’s best objects are landscapes and squares. I also like your site’s design with the wide view.
