Excellent! Would like to go there sometime
You should. Great spots for sunrise/sunset and excellent for some milky way action too. Then, there's the wildlife. When we got past the entrance gate, a huge bison stood in the middle of the road for 5 minutes. My wife got the shot with her phone while I kept the car in reverse with my foot on the brake.
Yesterday I was lucky to be invited for a behind the walls tour of the Monastery of San Giovanni Evangelista. This is a Benedictine monastery here in Parma that was built starting in 1498. It is a stunning place full of art and history. It once housed a large number of Monks. Now there are only 7 that live there. Once they have all passed who knows what will happen. I am hoping to gain even more access and make this a project within my current project. Here is a small sample of images I have shot there. Many of yesterday's images are architectural details for use in my current project. I didn't post many of them here.
The first is from a previous trip to the public areas. The rest were shot on my visit yesterday.
