I was thinking about Venice...

...and while I was going through my photo files I found this shot I took at the Cini Foundation, a stunning setting. I remember hearing the echo of piano playing, someone was practising for a forthcoming piano competition on the Island of San Giorgio. I remember that while I was listening to the music, I was walking past a large room where the window was wide open and long white organza-like curtains were floating,...I now wonder whether it was just a dream, too beautiful to be real!

It has started to rain...

...but the sun is not far from me

Volcano Petals I

Granny's bag

At the villa

I took this photograph at a villa in Marostica, northern Italy. These young dancers were about to go on stage; they will always look to me like fairies moving gracefully from one room to the other, forever beautiful and untouched by the passage of time...

A white cloud and a spot of red

Petals and leaning stems

A dot in the sky

I am sure it was a bird flying out of the frame and not a speckle of dust on my lense, it is right there on the edge. I caught it just in time, perhaps I didn't even notice it while I was taking the photograph, I was so focused on the flower...

Catching the sun

At the Victorian Summerhouse IV

Aiming for the sky, again...

The insect walking out of the frame

Lavender and white clouds

These days I so envy white clouds, light and free, unaware of the heaviness of life...
