Photo Safari 4 - This short photographic excursion, which can only be done on foot, is certainly the most evocative of all the others.
Starting from a crossroads marked by a bald cypress and a temporary deposit of straw presses that can be reached by car passing the castle of Leonina, after having easily parked, you walk towards a lunar landscape that is unique in the world.
It is a fairly circumscribed space, in which one can admire and portray those small grayish limestone mounds, formed by the effect of the rains that wash them away, causing the sparse vegetation that grows above them to slide in spring to their base.
In addition to being in the midst of this strange landscape of hillocks, you have the possibility of being on a natural terrace: facing north on Siena and south-east on the gentle curves of earth that distinguish the Crete Senesi.
For an avid photographer there is nothing but the embarrassment of choice in identifying subjects worthy of being immortalized with a click.
This route offers, like almost all the others, a very varied landscape to photograph according to the seasons, with dominated colors that change continuously over time.
The only negative feature of the route is that of having to cover an identical stretch of road both at the beginning and at the end of the excursion, as there are no alternative possibilities.
