Crete Senesi, a photo from Siena, Tuscany

Photographer's Note

Crete Senesi
The Crete Senesi are a singular setting, almost an island where the sun hits a knock, knocking the ground, blowing the wind unobstructed, the light is blind and the gaze can span everywhere, pursuing distant horizons, delightful lines, unique graphics.
They meet in the southeast area of the city of Siena, which includes the communes of Asciano, Buonconvento, Monteroni d'Arbia, Rapolano Terme, Montalcino and Trequanda, all in the province of Siena.
The name comes from clay, or clay, present in the ground, giving the landscape the characteristic gray-blue color and a lunar appearance. This characteristic clay, mixed with salgem and chalk, called mattaione, is made up of Pliocene sea sediments covering the area between 2.5 and 4.5 million years ago.
The landscape is characterized by hilly, gently rolled hills, bald and whitish hills, oaks and lonely cypresses, isolated farms at the top of the hills, tracts of wood in the valleys, the fountains that collect rainwater.
The area is also known for producing white truffles in the Crete.

Hello Silvio,
A beautiful landscape composition with delightful soft lights and muted tones. The succeeding hills create a feeling of immense depth. Italy is truly a beautiful country.

Hello Silvio,
Another great photo from this fascinating area. The low sun has created a wonderful play of areas of shade and those of a hazy light. The small areas of tree and bushes are like islands in a stormy sea.
Kind regards,
Gert

Foggy Toscana fields scenery, no-less beautiful from what we usually see with much more green, Silvio.
Wonderful how the cypress trees stand contrast to the hilly terrain.
Soon, rain will return, the green fields will be lavishly seen again.
Buona serata,
ike

Hello Silvio, a truly great picture of a dreamworld. I like your framing with the hill in the foreground. And I like the muted colors. This picture is not shouting loudly, it is quiet, you need a second look to discover the beauty of the scenery... Well done.

Hello Silvio,
For sure a very remarkable landscape.
Roling hills everywhere we can see.
Presented from on a good higher location. No need to see a part of the sky here. That fantastic landscape goes on endlessly.
Best regards, Paul

Hi Silvio,

The wideness of the area is creating depth. The point of view is showing the details of the Crete Senesi. The light fog is giving a special mood to the scene. Have a nice day.

Hello Silvio,

I like the soft, pastel colors and superb high vantage point offering an expansive view over the rolling hills. Good sharpness and the housing estate with the poplar trees provides a terrific focal point. Tfs!

alvaraalto (42804) 2017-09-28 4:08

Hello Silvio
A fascinating curved landscape with soft pastel colours like an attractive modern painting full of corresponding shapes. But the clear image of the house and the cypresses around brings us back in this fantastic moody landscape.
Excellent work. Have a nice day. Groet Rob

silvio

looks like an experiment of an artist creating a surrealistic landscape. marvelous the touch of houses and cypress while the crude land is in evidence. TFS.

I love the light in this photo. The wild barrenness is attractive, too.
