David Ward - Landscape Photography - Into The Light

The small town of Casteluccio sits on the edge of a bowl carved from the lofty Appenines. For me it is one of the most real places that I visited in Umbria; the notion of progress seems not to have reached this high into the mountains, buildings have not been over-restored, the populace is not concerned with the tourist dollar.

But the outstanding thing for me was the almost barren rolling landscape leading to towering mountains on all sides. A wonderfully abstract combination of curves and muted colours.
