Montefalco Series #10 – High above the narrow winding alleyways are typical Umbrian Street-lights.

Most of a similar design, these street lights illuminate by night, Montefalco’s many narrow, winding alleyways.
Montefalco
Located between Rome to the south and Florence to the north, is a small walled hill-town called Montefalco.
“A little piece of heaven” some have called it, Montefalco (pop. 5600) is situated high in the Colli Martani, with a 360 degree view of the surrounding countryside. On a clear day, you may not be able to see forever, but you can see across the gorgeous Vale de Umbria to Perugia, Assisi, Spoleto, Trevi, Bevagna, Foligno, Bettano, Pissignano and a collection of other small towns and villages. Below the town lies the flood plain of the Clitunno River.
Montefalco, the birthplace of no less than eight saints, is in the middle of Umbria’s most important grape growing and wine producing country.
We lived here for a month, and my photography followed a number of themes, evidenced by the images in this series.

    Hi Byron – the lights seem to be manufactured in the same factory at the same time. However, in the narrow stony winding streets they become magical. Keith

    yes.. it seems like the same company as they produce the same holders with the curl. It’s good to be the only producer in the area.. as long as they have supply.. people will buy. First.. of course to control lighting.. a crop of the sky.. or different time of day.. hmmmm.. ok.. now I see it.. light coming towards us… 2. captured from behind in the shadows projecting upwards.. silhouetted.. 3. Shadow projection on wall.. but still separated and using light background which seems to illuminate… I like the contrasting line of the wall corner. GOod complimentary inclusion of surroundings to set the scene…. hmmmm.. perhaps on the first.. it’s good to keep the sky to see the lighting conditions.. also you get to see the tops of the roofs on how they are built. . . . still getting a kick out of “no less than eight saints” hahaha

    Thank you Lambchop – comments most appreciated.
    The selection for this had me deciding for a long time, I had so many shots to choose from, the lights and differing lighting conditions must have caught my eye many times over the month, as I took photos in virtually every conceivable light condition. Some of the night shots are quite spooky. K.
