These are the cypresses of San Quirico d'Orcia, one of the most photographed spots in Tuscany.
The photo was taken in early spring 2022 during a weekend of rain, wind and snow overnight – a rather unpredictable start to spring.
But, in any weather condition and in any season, it is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful, iconic and magical places in the Val d'Orcia.
You just have to be a little lucky and find a place in the few car parks along the road leading to Pienza.
In the worst-case scenario, you can park in second gear (don't worry, don't invade the road) and hope the other photographers are slower than you to take pictures!
