Just gorgeous. I've spent a lot of time around there and in Southern Tuscany, around the border of Umbria, and there are no words to describe it. You are right when you say that its an area well-suited for Leica lenses. The colors are subtle and delicate, and there atmosphere can be a challenge sometimes, especially when it's hot and hazy. I wish I were there, too! And yes, a great place for a LUG photo safari. I'm packing my stuff now! ;-) Kit -----Original Message----- From: lug-bounces+leicagalpal=earthlink.net@leica-users.org [mailto:lug-bounces+leicagalpal=earthlink.net@leica-users.org] On Behalf Of Ken Lassiter Sent: Monday, September 27, 2004 6:03 AM To: lug@leica-users.org Subject: [Leica] Getting copies of Photographers Forum/Sal DiMarco interview Kit McChesney wrote: "San Quirico d'Orcia is an area that is photographed often, and appears on lotsa postcards ... The wide-open field with the cypress grove in the center. Seen it?" Kit, yes. I photographed it yesterday afternoon,"from the shadow side. The field had just been plowed so there is great texture to the fields. I love the shapes, folds, textures, colors and tones of the Tuscan landscape -- and that's just the dirt! The cypress trees provide a perfect exclamation point in the landscape. Each morning and afternoon I go out with my Leicas (with Leica lenses, BD) and have a grand time. This would be a great place for a lUG photo safari. As Sal would say, "Happy Snaps." Ken Lassiter...
