The Val d'Orcia is a landscape drawn with a ruler: farm tracks curve, and cypress trees mark every line. I went back twice in 2023, in early summer for the wheat and in autumn for the fog that fills the valleys before sunrise.

Most mornings I was on a hill before dawn, watching the mist sink and the farmhouses appear one by one. The series follows the lines the trees make, from the dark rows along a road to a single tree on a bare ridge.
