A view from the city walls of Orvieto, a small Italian hill town north of Rome, looking west. (I think) Taken on a college trip, June 2007; an amazing view.

"Orvieto is a city in southwestern Umbria, Italy situated on the flat summit of a large butte of volcanic tuff. The site of the city is among the most dramatic in Europe, rising above the almost-vertical faces of tuff cliffs that are completed by defensive walls built of the same stone."
