30 Days of Tuscany- Day 11- PIENZA

10 years 8 months ago - 10 years 8 months ago #291940 by Tuscan Muse
:drool: Pienza is always a favorite destination for our workshop and tour participants. It is a charming village that is easy to navigate. It also has some of the most breathtaking views of the Val d' Orcia which is one of the most photographed places in Tuscany. Pope Pius II had the entire village rebuilt as an ideal Renaissance town. Construction started about 1459.

Uplander, thank you for the kudos! I am an expert tour guide and workshop host, but farily new to photography. So, I really appreciate the compliments. When I was preparing these photos for this post, I was nervous about the post processing. I figured "less is more".

Don, I never go anywhere in Tuscany that I don't think about all the souls who have been there before me. I have to hand it to the Tuscans for insisting on historical preservation and a downright refusal to grant building permits in the gorgeous valleys that weave in and out of the landscapes.
