My wife likes this one, probably because she remembers putting up with me slamming the brakes on a narrow winding road. sk150, two-image stitch, 18mm each way then cropped a little.

I see you are tremendously enjoying the Dolomites! Great images.John, I never found Belvedere even though it was prominently listed in Google maps. I got to the location and sure enough I was at some Belvedere hotel but nothing I expected. No place for an image to be taken and appeared to be closed. A real waste of a half day. I could give you the coordinates, if I still have them, for my sunrise shot but I hesitate as I could be contributing to your demise. At the Dolomites now for a week of shooting.
Cheers

What I had done was searched for Belvedere Farm House in Google Maps which got me to something called Belvedere. It was a fair distance from Pienza and its coordinates are not the same as yours. Your coordinates actually are quite close to San Quirico. Its a shame I'm not in that area now but will save your info for another day.I see you are tremendously enjoying the Dolomites! Great images.
I've got no pictures to contribute here (no technical camera) but might point out the Belvedere near San Quirico d'Orcia that I know (and visited)
Here's the Google maps reference: https://www.google.be/maps/@43.0635268,11.6149368,751m/data=!3m1!1e3
You park your car a little further on a small gravel parking along the road from the "best spot" and then walk into the grove until you hit the ridge.
Actually I think several spots along the ridge have a good view on the famous farm.
Here's a link to a Panorama I shot from there (with an APS-C camera ):
Was this the spot you went to? Since the hotel here is called "Casanova" I have a hunch you were directed to a different spot.
