Morning light on Abruzzo landscape

[Hans Kruse]

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.

Thanks for all the comments And yes, you need to get up in the morning to shoot the sunrise This photo was shot at 8 in the morning, but of course there was a 40 minute drive to the location. 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.
