Insediamento eremitico di Sustrico, a photo from Perugia, Umbria

Photographer's Note

Hermit settlement of Sustrico

Just upstream of Sustrico there are the interesting remains of a settlement, perhaps a hermit.
It consists of two small rooms, one built against the cliff, the other (in the photo) created by creating a vertical wall to close a natural cavity.
They were probably used as shelters during the Second World War and show signs of frequentation even in a fairly recent period.

Hi Silvio,

La longueur du couloir donne de la profondeur à la composition. La prise de vue permet de voir les détails de l'abri de l'ermite. La lumière rehausse les couleurs de l'image. Bonne journée.

Hello Silvio,
It's not a cave that immediately makes me think of ancient hermits, but it's still a bit fascinating to know that people have actually lived here, or maybe more precisely in the inner chamber. You found a good opportunity to use your special "through-the-arch-composition" once again.
Best regards,
Gert

Hello Silvio, a difficult light but even so we are still able to see the details of this settlement.
It can't have been very comfortable, but at least whoever lived here would have been dry and under cover.
Thanks for sharing.
Kind regards, Jean.

Ciao Silvio,antichi insediamenti che sono tornati utili durante l'ultima guerra, speriamo di non dover tornarci tra breve, ottima cattura in un controluce non semplice. Buona serata,Luciano

Hello Silvio,
The light outside was really bright, but you handled it really well and it helped to brings out the shapes of the rocks so well. The textures look really nice in the foreground especially. Excellent work.

Hi Silvio,
interesting Hermit settlement, well photographed in particular with this well managed contrast of light between inside and outside, good details with the view of stones, tfs.

Hello Silvio,
Good clear view of the inside of the cave while handling the strong incoming sunlight very well.
Not exactly a comfortable place to stay but of course people lived there under special circumstances.
Best regards, Paul

Hello Silvio,
I wonder how long ago the original settlement was used. Fairly good light management, all things considered.

silvio

curious as they used the caves as a house and built a wall of small stones to close the natural hall.

take care
