Cesi, a photo from Terni, Umbria

Photographer's Note

Cesi rises suspended between sky and earth, on a spur of calcareous rock on the ridge of Mount Torre Maggiore, first appendix of the Monti Martani, at 437 meters above sea level and is rightly called the "balcony of the Terni basin".
The castle overlooks with a magnificent view of the valley of Terni and the wide mountain chain that surrounds the Umbrian capital.
The place was already fortified by populations of Umbrian-Sabine origin already five centuries before Christ, and housed a small town, Clusiolum "supra Interamna" mentioned by Pliny, which perhaps however stood in a higher position than today's Cesi, presumably near the church of Sant'Erasmo.

ciao Silvio,
io trovo sempre una maledetta difficoltа a fotografare scorci del genere, vedendo i tuoi mi dico che dovrei riprovare,
a presto,
ciao, Giacomo

Ciao Silvio

Smart choice of a vertical format with the vines at left competing with the stairs for a race to the top. Good shadow detail and sharpness with a conducive soft light. Tfs!

Ciao Silvio,

J'aime beaucoup le format de cette image. J'ai l'impression que tu as coupй un petit peu des deux cфtйs pour concentrer le regard sur ce qu'il y avait d'important.

Amicalement

Hello Silvio,
This looks like a nice little dead end street leading up to a courtyard with a steep staircase. I like how you framed the view and cropped this tightly in a vertical shape. It looks like a very modest place but the pots and plants create a homely atmosphere.
Kind regards,
Gert

Bonjour, cher ami Silvio,
Cette volйe de marches extйrieure donne le ton а la composition.
Voie йtroite, maisons contiguлs, l'on sent bien l'histoire se dйrouler sous nos yeux.
Amitiйs.

Hello Silvio,
This is a charming corner, prettified by the Autumn foliage on the left. The balcony and the staircase have made the photo.
