The main objective on my trip to Brittany was shooting lighthouses and the Mean Ruz was the first one on the list...

This sunset shot was taken at Sorano.

Sorano is an ancient medieval hill town hanging from a tuff stone over the Lente River in the Tuscany region of Italy.

The first historical mentions to Sorano are from the 3rd century BC, when it was an Etruscan city.
