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.

Evening Bliss.

#SilentSunday #GoodEvening

Color photo of a sunset scene with the sun setting behind a bridge, creating a sunstar effect with rays emanating from the light source. Three silhouetted figures stand on the bridge, enjoying the view. The sky is partially cloudy, and the reflection of the sun creates a bright streak on the surface of the water below. (Photo by me)

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 Sun is setting on a Silent Sunday.

#SilentSunday #Photography #Photo #Picture #Ferrara #Italy #Sunset #CityPhotography #AncientCities

The silhouette of a medieval brick tower against a dramatic, cloudy sky during sunset in Ferrara, Italy. The crenellated top of the tower stands starkly against the textured clouds, illuminated by the warm, golden glow of the sun peeking from the lower left. The contrast between the ancient architecture and the vibrant sky creates a striking and timeless atmosphere, capturing the essence of Ferrara's historical charm at dusk.

Moving forward, retracing steps.

#Photography #SilentSunday #Photo #Pic #Pictures #Italy #Ferrara #CityLandscapes #HistoricBeauty #StreetPhotography #ArchitectureLovers #CobblestoneStreets #CloudySky #TravelPhotography #QuietMoments #CityWalk

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.

Sunset in an Ferrara's Piazza Trento e Trieste, where the 'kiss of the sun' bathes the cobbled path in a warm, golden light. Silhouettes of historic buildings and a classic watchtower stand against the glowing sky. Pedestrians become dark figures in the sun's embrace, casting long shadows that blend with the outlines of ancient architecture. The tranquil moment captures the romance of the day's end, as the sun's farewell touch graces the heart of the city with a fleeting, amber radiance.

And so, it’s Saturday night. Again. Sometimes, it feels like, after turning 40, the weeks fly by as quickly as days did when I was 20.

Time flows, and we pass along with it.

That’s why I love living each day with enthusiasm, positivity, and an open heart. And even though it’s still Saturday night here, this image from just a few hours ago is perfect to wish everyone a wonderful #SilentSunday

(look at the alt text for a deeper idea I had when taking this photo)

#Photography #Photo #Italy #Ferrara #History #CityPhotography #City #AncientCities #OldTimes

An old cobbled street, nestled in the soft afternoon light, remains untouched by time. The worn brick facades and shuttered windows speak of centuries gone by, as if waiting for the footsteps of those who once filled these alleys with laughter, stories, and life. The warm glow of the lanterns suggests a quiet resilience, holding back the encroaching night, while the silent stones bear witness to the passage of time. Here, in this timeless corner, history feels close enough to touch, a place where the past stands still, patiently awaiting the return of its long-lost residents.

Peaceful #SilentSunday, #Fediverse !

#Photography #Photo #Picture #Pic #Pictures #Sea #Sunday #Boat #Fisher

A small boat rests on a sandy shore, with fishing equipment and nets piled nearby. In the background, a lone fisherman stands on a rocky jetty, casting his line into the calm, open sea. The tranquil waters stretch out under an overcast sky, creating a peaceful, contemplative scene by the coast. Buoys and rocks add subtle colors to the muted coastal landscape, embodying the quiet rhythm of a seaside morning.

A quiet pause in the Autumn glow.

A lone dandelion stands tall against the golden light of a setting sun, its delicate seeds shimmering in the warm autumn glow. The soft focus blurs the horizon, leaving only the tranquil embrace of nature's fleeting moment, as shadows stretch and the world pauses to breathe.

#SilentSunday

Thick layers of clouds in horizontal sections in front of the setting Sun.
At the top of the image, a strip of pale slate-blue sky. Then a big band of amber and gray cloud, light across the top and dark gray in the center glowing with yellow sunlight a little in the center (right above where the Sun is behind the clouds).
At the bottom of that cloud is a lighted section, amber all along the horizontal ‘seam’ and glowing fiercely bright yellow in the middle- the Sun is obviously right above this part, but behind the big clouds.
Several more layers of clouds below that section, amber and gray and yellow cloud strips, fading off into a honey colored horizon somewhere behind.
At the bottom are the silhouettes of low hills, with some trees and houses sticking up at the top, looking like a black cutout at the bottom of the image, against the honey colored clouds.

A dirt path winds through a field of heather, dotted with grazing sheep. The sky is awash with vibrant colors. The sun, positioned low on the horizon, casts long shadows across the path and the surrounding landscape. A tree stands tall to the right, its silhouette stark against the colorful sky. The path is lined with a flock of sheep, their white wool contrasting against the heather. Some sheep are grazing along the path, while others wander further into the field.

On this Sunday, I wish everyone to benefit from the peace of silence.
The silence of tranquility, relaxation, and peace.
May all your problems, at least for today, remain silent in a corner.

Unfortunately, I know it won't be like that, but at least for a few seconds, I hope silence can bring a smile to all of you.

The world needs more smiles.

Last Sunday Sunset of this year.

#SilentSunday #Sunset #Photography #Photo #Picutre #Pic #Italy #WinterSunset

The sunset, silent and bathed in warm golden light, marks one of the final moments of the year. The shadows of the trees stretch long as the sun, now low on the horizon, seems to slowly slip away, much like the year that is coming to an end. The scene, devoid of sound and interruption, reflects the feeling of a cycle closing, a step toward the unknown, much like the sun setting, signaling the end of a day. The sky is painted in golden and pink hues, while the world around feels suspended, waiting for a new beginning.
But for now, there is only silence.

Walking in the fog means finding yourself in a silent, ethereal, almost surreal bubble.
The confusion to the eyes resonates with a slight confusion in the mind, perfect for reflection.

"I am still and anchored to the earth, calm. Motionless. But as soon as the right wind comes, I will soar and be everywhere, light, happy and free."

#photography #photo #picture #pic #flowers #plants #sunset #autumn #SilentSunday

The photo captures a dandelion, a delicate plant that many consider a weed, with lightweight and fluffy seeds ready to be carried by the wind. It's in the foreground, with every slender filament of its spherical head gleaming in the sunset light. Each seed appears suspended, as if waiting for the right moment to take flight. In the background, the golden light of the sunset filters through the trees, casting soft shadows and creating an ethereal atmosphere. The entire landscape is bathed in warm orange light, with shades of pink and purple blending in the sky. You can almost sense the cool evening breeze and the subdued sound of nature preparing for the night. This image evokes a sense of tranquility, fleeting moments, and the beauty of nature in its purest and simplest form.
