On the Voltino Road

Photograph by Fulvio Morelli , National Geographic Your Shot

The Voltino is a place near Grosseto in Tuscany, Italy, writes Your Shot member Fulvio Morelli . The road to get there crosses cultivated fields and then coasts along the River Ombrone. It s the place I usually go to shoot a naturalistic photo, usually of birds or dragonflies or bugs.

When I arrived there were a lot of clouds and no wind, and the light was soft the sun was behind the clouds. My first thought when I saw the scene was, This is a beautiful black-and-white landscape."
