The cypress road — Val d’Orcia, Italy

Val d’Orcia, Italy · 21 – 23 October 2023

Cypresses and mist

Mist at dawn, cypresses and hills: three days in the quietest part of Tuscany, in autumn.

The story

How it went

October in the Val d’Orcia is an exercise in patience: you get up in the dark, look for the right hill and wait for the mist to decide what to show. The drone traced waves of haze over the farmhouses; on the ground, the cypresses along the white gravel road did the rest. In the afternoon an English couple asked for a shoot among the vines: the most serene one I can remember.
