Tuscany in Italy was high on my list of places to visit. I had seen pictures of fields on top of hills, farmhouses such as Belvedere and of course, many cypress trees. Many of the pictures were connected with something unique, superb light conditions accompanied by mist in the valley. To a landscape photographer this is a superb combination for guaranteed success.

However, just as many photographers visit national parks in Africa to see the top five primarily, it was a similar case with Tuscany. Browsing the internet before I went there, I kept seeing the same top five locations being photographed time and again. As you can imagine, my expectations were for good photography but at a small scale. I was wrong, there is a lot more to Tuscany than the usual classic locations. Watch this space, many more images to follow.
