The Italian Arizona, a photo from Macerata, Le Marche

Photographer's Note

You can have a taste of Arizona in central Italy, in the Mt. Sibillini National Park. The place is called "Le lame rosse" (the red blades) and it is near the nice Lake of Fiastra, and it can be reach with an easy 1 hour hike.
This barren landscape appears very unexpected at the end of the trail, which runs under the bush.
The pinnacles can be up to 50 meters high.
Such types of rocks formations are very unusual in Italy. There is something similar in Trentino Alto Adige, near Renon", called "Piramidi di Terra Rossa" (red rock pyramids).

Ciao Stefano
caspita che posto! Non avrei mai pensato all'Italia se non avessi letto il titolo... Una bellissima inquadratura che slancia i pinnacoli contro un bellissimo cielo.
Buona serata

Hi Stefano!
Could be to Cappadokia in Turkey.
Nice perspective from your low POV and good contrast with the sky.

Hi Stefano
Magnificent rock formation of this massif so dominating and revealing all the fine detail. Well balanced picture, the wonderful sky does seem to draw a little attention though. Amazing location and so majestic a real stand out shot. Great colours in warm tones, textures, lighting, shadows and nicely composed of this rugged beauty. You have captured the full majesty of this nature beauty. Great capture. Congrats
Best regards
