This stream in the San Leonardo forest, in my region, is a place that I know very well and I go there very often. These two small waterfalls with this islet with trees in the middle are the point that I consider most beautiful. I studied various compositions, I was there in all seasons at all hours of the day to understand the direction of the light. In the end I believe that the one I present is the best one. Also considering the right amount of water because with the drought these days, unfortunately, most of the time it is dry.
