The stunning hills of Val D'Orcia stretch endlessly, their gentle shadows and folds resembling a giant blanket draped over the landscape. The views extend for miles, transitioning from vibrant green to a dazzling golden hue, and eventually to rich gold and orange tones as summer arrives. Meanwhile, in the bottom left of the frame, a couple basks in the warm glow of the sunset.
