Nothing but the Lake

#SilentSunday #Photography #Photo #Pic #Picture #Garda #Sirmione #Italy #Summer #Water #Sunset

Golden hour on Lake Garda. The vast expanse of water dominates the view, its surface a dazzling tapestry of sunlight, shimmering like molten gold. In the foreground, a partially visible dining table with glassware frames the lake. Mountains fade into the misty background, while a solitary buoy floats in the distance. The lake's mesmerizing glow takes center stage, creating a breathtaking backdrop for an evening meal.

Silence, please. The Sun is setting.

#Photography #SilentSunday #Sunset #Photo #Italy #Summer #Beach #Picture #Pic #Sun

The photo captures a tranquil seaside scene at sunset, where the world seems to hush in reverence as the sun prepares to retire for the night. The soft glow of the setting sun bathes the horizon in warm hues of orange and yellow, gently meeting the calm sea. Lush greenery and vibrant flowers in the foreground add a touch of life to the serene setting, while a few people are seen enjoying the peacefulness along the shore, their figures small against the vast, quiet expanse of water. This moment of tranquility suggests the world is pausing to help the sun settle into its well-deserved rest.

Silence, please.
Nature is ready to begin its majestic show.

As day surrenders to dusk,
A parliament of birds convenes,
Silhouetted sentinels on high,
Bearing witness to the sun's retreat.

The sky, a canvas of gold and blue,
Painted with wisps of cloud,
Frames this daily spectacle,
A masterpiece of light and shadow.

Below, the river winds its course,
A ribbon of liquid fire,
Reflecting heaven's grand display,
And nature's quiet power.

The landscape holds its breath,
Suspended between two worlds,
As if time itself pauses
To honor this celestial changing of the guard.

Urban life and wild nature coexist,
In this liminal moment,
Where concrete meets reed bed,
And civilization touches wilderness.

The birds, still as stone,
Gaze upon the sinking sun,
Their vigil unbroken, unwavering,
In this cosmic theater of dusk.

Here, in the gloaming hour,
We're reminded of life's endless cycle,
Where every sunset is a lullaby,
And every sunrise, a new beginning.

The sunset of a day I'll never forget.
9 years ago, today.

#Photography #Photo #Sunset #Italy #Comacchio #Memories

A breathtaking sunset illuminates the sky over Comacchio, Italy, 9 years ago today. Golden clouds stretch across a azure sky, their edges aflame with the sun's dying light. The celestial spectacle is mirrored in the calm waters of a canal running through the heart of the old town. Historic brick buildings line the waterway, their weathered facades glowing warmly in the fading day. Church spires pierce the horizon, silhouetted against the radiant sky. Tourists and locals stroll along the canal's edge, their elongated shadows stretching across the cobblestones, as they savor the magical moment where day gives way to night in this enchanting Italian seaside town.

Moving forward, retracing steps.

An ancient road in Ferrara, Italy. The road lies in between, on both sides a row of ancient buildings, adorned with flowers in their windows, and at the end of the street, another old edifice. The buildings are either red brick or painted in shades of yellow, while the road is paved with cobblestones. The sky, visible through a small gap left by the buildings' roofs, is cloudy. A sense of urban tranquility, of antiquity, of history, evoking introspection and memories.

Ancient Windows, Ancient Views

#FensterFreitag #WindowFriday #Photography #Photo #Windows #Pictures #Pics #Picture #Torino #Italy

An ancient window, from the inside. It's made of wood, finely crafted, ready to be closed to cover the daylight. The light coming from outside gives it a golden, noble appearance. It's from the Royal Palace of Turin, an important window. Outside, some bare trees, a street, some statues.
There's also a mirror, next to it, ready to reflect the light and show, from the inside, what's happening outside

November Sunset
Cento, Italy

23/11/2012

(There's a story behind this photo. I was walking alone, attempting to unwind after a particularly rough day. Behind me was the local cemetery (the road leading to it).
I noticed this light and grabbed my Galaxy Nexus. Although the phone had a subpar camera, this time, with some minor color adjustments, it produced a surprisingly good result.)

#Photography #Photo #Picture #Pic #ThrowbackThursday #Autumn #Sunset #Orange #FallenLeaves #November #Italy

The photo shows a tree-lined path during autumn. The trees have dense foliage in shades of yellow and green, suggesting early autumn. A carpet of fallen leaves covers the path, which is centered in the photo and stretches into the distance where the setting or rising sun casts a warm glow. The sky is not visible, and there are no people or animals seen. The overall ambiance is serene and picturesque, typical of an autumnal scene.
