Heaven on Earth - a photo on Flickriver

Heaven on Earth

I probably do not have to tell you that Tuscany is a photographers paradise in daylight and it is also great at night, as this image from my last visit in May proves.

I have been revisiting the Val d'Orcia in Tuscany for four days this week, but this time, I have not done any nightscapes. That's partly because I was on a family vacation, but I could also blame it on the clouds, the moon phase, the season, the outstanding food, the excellent wine or all the cultural highlights of the area we had to visit.

Tuscany is a prime candidate for heaven on earth - for almost any reason you can dream up.
