Title: Morning light on Abruzzo landscape
Post by: Hans Kruse on October 09, 2019, 06:32:54 am: I'm soon off on my next trip to Italy to run two workshops in Abruzzo and Tuscany. The autumn is calling on me :) Abruzzo is an area of Italy that is not overrun by photographers, so I have it pretty much to myself and my groups when I run a workshop there. Sometimes Giro Italia is passing through the area.

If you look closer on this picture beyond the rolling hills and texture, there is a small shelter for sheep beyond the first two hills in the V between them. In the far distance the ruins of the almost 1000 year castle Rocca Calascio can be seen. The human and historic element of this area appeals a lot to me besides the sheer beauty of the landscapes. The altitude of where I shot the picture was 1700 meters.

Abruzzo is an area of Italy that is not overrun by photographers...

If you keep posting these kinds of photos, it will soon be :)

Btw. it's something I see in all the touristic places that the tourists come when we walk back from a morning shoot and then they even complain that the photos does not look what they see. :)

I also do not expect Abruzzo to be overrun by either tourists or photographers. They all go for the well known and iconic places.
