Magic Hour Travelscapes

Le Crete, Tuscany, ITALY

Photographed during a scouting session for a sunset shoot, this turned out to be a more powerful image than the magic hour colours. The dappled light and beams of sun penetrating the clouds emphasized the contours of Le Crete region. It shows how important it is to get the shot right at all times, scout session or not. This was taken on an exploration of a road leading to the monastery of Monte Olivieto. The road runs on a high ridge giving wide open views of Le Crete.
