Cypress-lined roads, wheat hills, and morning fog in the Val d'Orcia, across one summer and one autumn.
A cypress road at sunset. 
First light on the ridge farm. 
Fog filling the valley before sunrise. 
The long avenue to the farm. 
Two trees above the mist. 
Afternoon on the wheat. 
A single tree on the ridge. 
The road up, in July.
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.
