Italy Podere Belvedere in the Val D'orcia Tuscany
The beautiful landscapes of the Val d'Orcia, which inspired many Renaissance painters, are dotted with many small villages, castles, abbeys, and villages, each with its incredible history. Time still passes slowly here. The morning mist and the sunrise make this one of the most beautiful vistas in Europe.
Photography Tips
Sunrise in the Spring is the best time to capture the morning mist, use a tripod. Come early, this place fills up fast about 30 mins before first light.
