light
Light is both the bridge and the subtlety between these two pictures. The italian sun is radiant with energy. It's a beautiful thing that you must capture from Italy, the sun, so much energy.
nature
Rome's sun-drenched flora deliciously "melts" into the italian chaos. Nature plays an important part here, and even more all over the world. In some other places I visited, especially south America and Asia, the vegetation is so green that you think to yourself: "our green is not green but grey..."
Please always try to respect it.
beauty of daily actions
The clothes and linen hanging in the sun simply give a taste of beauty, the spell of simple things. I especially notice this unassuming charm when I'm on holiday or travelling and these kind of things gently remind me: "Don't run, enjoy!".
art
Stereotype and proudness of Rome and honestly still so impressive. Open air museum.
I love art, every kind...
water
And finally water trying to refresh my country. Italy is in turmoil. Young people urge for change.
"Dripping water hollows out stone, not through force but through persistence." Ovid
Maybe. But how long can Italy afford to wait?
