I took this photograph in Tuscany (Italy); it is part of the *Tuscan Summer* series.
Although the location is well-known, I present it here in a different guise—one that is more poetic and enigmatic. I achieved this effect using a special lens of my own design, which renders the image in a unique way without the need for excessive digital manipulation. Thanks to him, I create an image that is a photograph but has a soul embedded in painting.
Numbered and signed.
