Let me just say this... I like swimming in the season of the fogs.

Where I live, in the last few weeks there has barely been a day without fogs but those fogs, somehow, I do not find inspiring or motivating enough to grab my camera and go out hunting for photographs...

There are many reasons for this and perhaps I just don't find the area I know pretty well very interesting. Therefore, there is a very tiny chance that I'd will be sharing foggy pictures from around. :) Sorry :)))

The Italian province of Tuscany, however, is a completely different story for me.

I have one particular favorite location, that I've been many times to and met there the beginnings of many days...

Why?

Well, check out this moment from one morning:

This feels like a painting and not a photograph, right? Truth is, I have certain expertise in the field of Photography but still, there is so much beauty around.

Moreover, there is always something new and exciting to see, watch and observe! :)

I guess now you see why I love to spend time in the fogs there.

For instance, the fog on that photo above, I felt it like a giant tsunami, coming right at me.

Thanks God, it was not devastating.

Well, at least not for me, just for my poor camera that got all wet!

So the fog tsunami came to me, washed my face and my clothes, my camera and everything and then slowly defeated by the rays of the sunrising sun...

Indeed, it was a magical moment, shared, so I have a witness who will confirm my words, if necessary! :)

Here, for another instance, I was feeling like flying on an airplane, above the clouds, touching the sky and on the level of the sun...

It looks like that, isn't it?

Of course, with the only difference I could actually breathe the air outside...

The valley around the city of San Quirico d'Orcia is very beautiful.

That place is a must-visit for everyone who visits Tuscany.

Whether on business or leisure, mark the region and "waste" a few days if you can.

Trust me, you will not regret that "wasted" time.

I would "waste" many more mornings and sunrises there.

Because its beauty somehow always recharges my inner batteries.

Yup, I ain't a robot! :D

The hands of the trees, reaching the sun for more light...

Many fables could be written about the area surrounding San Quirico d'Orcia.

Fables of past time, fables of rich kings and queens, even sci-fi fables.

Those multiple hills around San Quirico d'Orcia, scattered like hundreds of small crystals of salt falling from that divine palm... they all could tell their own fable.

And then later in the day, when the sunshine and warmth finally make all that fog scarce, a different beauty of that magical kingdom is presented to the eyes of the curious observer...

Now some practical info.

The best periods to visit this region and see the fogs are early spring and late autumn.

Bring warm clothes and hiking boots as it could be muddy.

Also bring a proper cloth to wipe out the humidity from your lens :)

Not many options to get here but a car and the best place to park is by the entrance of this property: https://maps.app.goo.gl/Mh2yuq4xJwmSe1sV8
Then cross the road and enter the field if it seems possible to you :) However, I bet if you spend the time to get there you won't mind some mud on the shoes ;)
