That's not AI - it's really real. Val d'Orcia is a wide and beautiful countryside in southern Tuscany, close to the border with Umbria and on the slopes of Mount Amiata, stretching along the agricultural hinterland of Siena. It takes its name from the Orcia river that runs along and is a protected park where the absolute protagonist is stunning nature. It is no coincidence that one of the most photographed spots is the famous Val d'Orcia cypress trees near San Quirico d'Orcia.
Crete Senesi, the clay hills eroded by time that form the characteristic calanchi (gullies) and biancane, bare and rugged, low rounded reliefs with an unquestionable, almost lunar charm, also stand out in the Val d'Orcia. Its typical medieval Tuscan villages such as Pienza, Montalcino, Castiglione d'Orcia and San Quirico d'Orcia are perfect destinations to dive into the soul of the place, while savouring its well-known food and wine specialities.
I really wish the Bible had gone into more detail about what heaven is like. Not interested in mansions and gold streets.
ReplyDeleteIndeed! I often lie awake wondering how one eats. Soup Kitchens? Enormous Buffets? And then there is the matter of "voiding one's bowels"! As there must be literally trillions of the worthy up there by now, how many porta-potties are scattered around? And then there is the obvious question of "Why hasn't the Hubble Space Telescope spotted the place by now?"
