NESTLED UNDER THE MOUNTAIN by sangwann

NESTLED UNDER THE MOUNTAIN

Abruzzo Day 1 (16th April)

Half way through our transfer to Montesilvano we stopped at one of the services for a short break. In the distance, nestled under the mountains was this delightful town/village. I had to stretch my zoom lens get this shot (and others). It had snowed on the mountains just before we arrived in Italy and the white snow and clouds brought out further the beauty of the place. I wish I knew what the place is called, even for my own records.

Thank you so much for looking and for your lovely comments on yesterday's picture.

Lovely landscape shot - so very crisp and clear.

@paulaw Thank you so much for your comments and the fav. Actually the holiday was over a week ago; I'm only showing a few of the loads of shots I took then.

Gorgeous scenery! You could post the picture on the discussion board with the question, "Do you know where this is?" I'm sure a 365er from Italy will recognize it.

There are many other towns and villages nestled under the mountainous areas in Italy. Just that this shot came out very nicely. Thanks for your comments and proposition.

Just beginning this tour. If all the scenery is like this I'm going to have a wonderful night. Sorry for the late comments. May was a very busy month for me.
