Photographer's Note
Castel San Felice
It is an ancient river terrace prehistoric habitat was an Umbrian and then a Roman colony. Early sixth century, at the time of Theodoric, he formed a hermitage, a monastic cell and agriculture, around an oratory: San Felice. Curtis was Lombard, included in Castaldato Bridge. In the twelfth century the agricultural colony gathered on the height, forming Castel San Felice, a fief of Duke Conrad of Urslingen; in 1198, step in Spoleto. In 1194 was erected the church of San Felice.
According to tradition, Mauro came here, his son Felix and his nurse, at the time of Theodoric. He was one of the three hundred Syrian immigrants in Italy. S. Mauro and S. Felice, people of prayer and penance, they retreated to a cave along the Black. Known by the people for their holiness, Mauro did this to the presence of a pestilential dragon, that led to the slaughter of men. Mauro and Happy prayed to the Lord and the dragon was killed by a huge boulder fell on his head.
Felice lived in purity and spoke with the Angels. Also worked miracles including the raising of an only son of his widowed mother. Died before his father together with the nurse 16.06.535, after being warned by the angels. Mauro, left alone, he placed their bodies in a chapel that later became a church dedicated to San Felice. Even the country (which dates back to 530), took his name. Mauro founded a Benedictine monastery, he was abbot, the saint died in 555 and was buried in the same oratory. Of course, the dragon, and only a symbol. This is the deliverance from paganism and sin, but also from the swamps and ignorance. The original chapel, with the graves of the three, is now the crypt of the church. Around this was built the monastery monastic cell, an official from Farfa and then from San Pietro in Valle, which is the rough cloister. In the twelfth century priory was dependent on Sassovivo. It remains, however, a superb monument, the church.

Ciao Silvio
Good sharpness and a superb lookout offering a bird's eye view. I like the light striking the trees on the hill and the left facing sides of the village buildings. Tfs!

Hello Silvio,
A fantastic view of the castle and village looking like they are placed on an island between the green hillsides. The light and haze create a great atmosphere. Sharpness and exposure are perfect.
Best regards,
Gert

Hi Silvio,
Les arbres cadrent bien le ch漮eau. La prise de vue permet de voir les d彋ails du ch漮eau San Felice. La brume l嶲鋨e donne une sensation myst廨ieuse. Bonne journ嶪.

Hello Silvio,
It looks like a photo you took in the morning before all the fog cleared up.
The houses were built on an oval-shaped hill and face in different directions. From every house you have a view of one of the surrounding hills.
Best regards, Paul

Hi Silvio,
Mist on the valley is fascinating although it also means lower contrast. It actually looks like smoke. Again quite impressive hilltop village shot from an excellent high viewpoint.

Hi Silvio,
Nice POV, photogenic picture with this nice perched village, a bit foggy, maybe more contrast for the presentation, just an idea ...

Hello Silvio.
Wonderful composition of this beautiful town, which due to the effect of the shadows and the mist seems suspended on the top of the mountain, an ideal situation.
Great color, good sharpness and lighting.
Very good work. I like very much.
You have a good day. Very best regards.
Luis.

Ciao Silvio,
Brilliant point of view to optimally present this castle.
The fog was not making your job easy, it seems as if it was circling around the town, very strange effect.
You managed the conditions quite well.

Hello Silvio, your instantly recognisable style of a settlement taken from a high point of view.
The sunlight has highlighted the buildings so they become the main focal point, yet there are lots of other details to enjoy.
The misty background gives the scene a sense of mystery and a lovely atmosphere.
Interesting notes.
Kind regards, Jean.
