It is fall in Italy and this is a Tuscan autumn landscape, the Val dOrcia, captured from the walls of the town of Pienza in Tuscany, Italy. The skeleton of the tree immediately in front shows its few remaining leaves suggesting fall color. Beyond, rows of cypress trees lead your eye back through the image, zigzagging across the image. They start bright green in color at the front of the image to more hazy impressions of the shapes of the trees as we look out into the autumn mist dominating the landscape. A farmhouse can be seen in the foreground immediately behind the tree. Another farmhouse can be seen on the horizon. An atmospheric and romantic rural landscape scene.
