The wide-open field with the cypress grove in the center. Seen it?" Kit, yes. I photographed it yesterday afternoon,"from the shadow side. The field had just been plowed so there is great texture to the fields. I love the shapes, folds, textures, colors and tones of the Tuscan landscape -- and that's just the dirt! The cypress trees provide a perfect exclamation point in the landscape. Each morning and afternoon I go out with my Leicas (with Leica lenses, BD) and have a grand time.
