Moliterno 3 - a photo on Flickriver

Moliterno 3

            Castle sunset clouds so nice I had to show them twice I spent about 30-40 minutes happily clicking away as the strong winds pushed one set of cloud through to be replaced by another sky scene all lit by the slowly sinking sunset making a promise that tomorrows weather would be fair. Every once in a while all the tumblers drop into place for a travel photographer, where you have an interesting subject combined with an interesting light and you are situated at the right place, I guess that is what keeps you coming back for more.

While the mighty Norman castle is the dominant feature of the towns architecture you should not miss a walk around the old town through its cozy laneways and discover the historic preservation of the many magnificent palazzo.  All the old town streets lead from the fortress with each of the streets historically overseen by a particular family and their palazzo sealed their positions,  those not to be missed are Palazzo Petruccelli, Palazzo Fruguglietti, Palazzo Racioppi and Palazzo Valinoti in Piazza Vittorio Veneto. 

While the architecture and history shine brightly in the town the true beauty of the place comes from its setting in the Val d'Agri one of the greenest areas of Basilicata in the heart of the youngest of the Italian National parks, the Lucanian Val d'Agri Lagonegrese Apennines. Within all this beautiful nature is a particularly meaningful spot of the villagers which lies between Val D 'Agri and the Vallo di Diano on a quiet ridge called Bosco Faggeto a 350 hectare oasis which is designated a Site of Community Interest (SIC) for the town. 

I took this on Sept 26, 2018 with my D750 and Nikon 28-300mm  f3.5-5.6 Lens at 62mm 1s f`16 ISO 100 processed in LR, PS +Lumenzia, Topaz , and DXO
