Awakening

Awakening Since I was in Italy, I couldn't pass up the famous Villa Podere Belvedere at sunrise. Before arriving at this location, I was pulled over by the Italian Police. It was still dark, so it was very eerie when they were shinning there lights on the car. Most people aren't up at this hour, so I'm sure they were just curious of what I was doing. Unfortunately, I don't speak a lot of Italian and couldn't understand a word of what they were saying. And they couldn't understand English, so we were at an impasse. They eventually let me go and I went on to take this shot. Thank goodness I got there in time. I'm proud to say, that this shot took Bronze in the Epson International Pano Awards. All my images are printed on fine art paper and then placed under acrylic to add, depth, clarity and a color pop that is unsurpassed.
