Sometime.. looking to the sky..
in an ancient place like this..
occasionally, you can find.. ZEUS!!


Vetulonia,
formerly called Vetulonium or Vatluna, was an ancient town of Etruria, Italy.
Vetulonia has Etruscan origins. Dionysius of Halicarnassus places the city within the Latin alliance against Rome in the seventh century BC.
The site of the ancient city was not identified before 1881, and the identification has been denied in various works by C. Dotto dei Dauli, who placed the Vetulonia of Antiquity on the Poggio Castiglione near Massa Marittima, where scanty remains of buildings, possibly of city walls, were also been found. The Etruscan city situated on the hill of Colonna di Buriano, where there are remains of city walls of massive limestone, in almost horizontal courses, was renamed Vetulonia by royal decree in 1887.
The objects discovered in its extensive necropolis, where over 1,000 tombs have been excavated, are now in the museums of Grosseto and Florence. The most important tombs were covered by tumuli, which still form a prominent feature in the landscape.
the site is currently a frazione of the comune of Castiglione della Pescaia, with some 200 inhabitants.
It lies 300m above sea level, about ten miles directly northwest of Grosseto, on the northeast side of the hills which project from the flat Maremma and form the promontory of Castiglione.

Great mood with those sun rays behind the clouds! However I'd like less sky and a framing a bit more to right side.

An excllent moment has been taken from nature. Wide scale vision is fantastic. The rays of sun light from the lid of clouds are looking intersting. Well done Marco.

Hi Marco,
surely this sky and landscape are mythical as you noted.
I especially like the width and depth in this image. the clouds and the light make it more dramatic. and green-blue mountains make comfortable and suggestive space.
this reminds me of the paintings of the Renaissance, yes you looks carried on the traditions of it in Italy.
thank you
Akihisa

Ciao Marco,
hai beccato davvero un momento mistico, e i raggi partono proprio dal centro. Inoltre con i 2/3 della foto occupata dalle nuvole così incombenti rendi davvero l'idea della potenza degli dei.
Meno male che non esistono...
Ciao,
Violetta

nice comp and mood here marco :)
i like the light rays in the background
good tones

koh

Ciao Marco :o)
Wonderful ! The weather seems to be heavy ... the sky is so strange as if it speaks to us, send us a message. Orange sunrays which spurt between the clouds and the moutain are so great. Lovely capture Marco, full of mood, mythical ... I dream to be there for an instant, thanks for that !

Marto, questa qui è molto bella, io però avrei cercato di esaltare un pò di più la parte scura con un PP, tipo un pò di luminosità e di saturazione. é comunque bella!!

ciao

Ciao Marco
Sky made itself up in front of your camera and throws colourful rays down in the valley!Quite a spectacular scenery enhanced by the oblique line of near city limit at foreground.
A window on romance!
Saluti.

Hi Marco,

Sometimes I just have to use the "WOW" - it's stunning, what a rays of light, what a place, and as you have managed more often you have captured a great atmosphere - fantastic!
