Early May I spent a few days in Tuscany staying just outside San Gimignano in the heart of the Chianti wine growing area. Spring has been a bit delayed in Italy this year and we were lucky to have a few days of sunshine between the rain.
The panoramic shot above was taken about 06.15am just after sunrise and shows the wonderful way the mist seems to rise slowly from the valleys at this time of day after a clear dewy night.
The towers of San Gimignano rising out of the early morning mist.
The whole area is just magical for the early rising photographer.
Everything is very green and lush in the aftermath of a wet spring and the vines are growing well.
Another wonderful dawn not to be missed.
I found that the hour after sunrise was the most productive time for photography.
Later in the day the fields are vivid hues of fresh spring green filled with wild flowers.
Siena, the cathedral steps skimmed by warm sunlight.
