There are certain distinctive elements to Tuscan landscape photography: caramel-coloured stone villas or farmhouses; winding paths;  a row of poplar trees; verdant grass; vivid blue skies as a backdrop to some wonderful dramatic  clouds. To top it all there is that amazing light –  so majestic that you can understand why it was in this area that the phrase enlightenment came to pass. (A vineyard sometimes completes the scene but isn’t essential, as I hope this photograph demonstrates.)
