Magic Hour Travelscapes

Asolo, Veneto, ITALY

This being my third visit to Italy, I've developed a sense of how I would like to capture the country. One of my aims was to try to get one shot from each town that represented a genuine piece of its character. Asolo is also known as the town of a "Hundred Horizons" due to its hilltop location with panoramic views of the beautiful surroundings. Finding a good one for photography was a little more difficult. I hiked around the town a fair bit but it was only on my last morning that I came up with something I liked in the hotel's gardens. Occasionally I'll splash out on a luxury hotel if I know it has a special or balcony view and on this occasion it paid off.
