The nature of the island offers a wide variety of topography ranging from awe-inspiring cliff faces, intense inland Mediterranean scrublands filled with Aleppo pine forests, beautiful and unusual rock formations carved by wind erosion, salt pans, and stunning beaches.
All of which provide a safe oasis for the island’s rich flora and fauna, ranging from the indigenous to the migratory nesting birds that visit the island annually.
Capture the beauty of the island bathed in natural sunlight!
It’s the ideal location in the middle of the Mediterranean, bathed in sunshine most of the year, giving a dramatic and colourful feel to the ever-changing landscape.
The sky, which is almost always clear, produces a wonderfully luxurious natural light during the day, providing a wide variety of subject appearances. Turning soft and warm during the golden hour, giving a multicolored feast of smooth, cool blues, vibrant pinks, and magentas for the eyes and lens, at this time, a deep calm and peaceful mood falls upon the subjects of the island.
There’s an excellent reason why in 1899, the Astronomical Station of Carloforte was established as one of the five locations of the International Latitude Service. Its task was to monitor the variation of the latitude and the rotation of the Earth.
So, once night falls, we’ve treated to crystal clear, unpolluted, starlit night skies, where you will never grow tired of the otherworldly display of light and colour.
