Like arms to God...

I really like to associate titles, lyrics and their meaning to my shots... These trees along Cannes seafront reminded me of the Joshua Tree in California especially with this kind of trimming.
Why Joshua Tree? The first thing you have in mind is the cover of the most famous U2 album, the other is the origin of their name: the plant infact was named by the Mormon Pilgrims because they saw its silhouette as Joshua raising his arms to God. However, there are no Joshua tree in Europe...but I like thinking that they are..:-)

Back to France...

"Back To France" sang Mike Oldfield back in 1984...ah...the 80's..timeless and always beautiful! That will be the soundtrack for the incoming weekend, I'm leaving for French Riviera for a couple of days, searching for some sun & fun...see you at the beginning of the week!

The silence of snow

It’s afternoon, snow is falling continuously, all around me the muffled silence of the plains and a slight cool breeze arriving from the west. I’m walking, no thoughts in my mind, just a feeling of peace and relaxation, of total immersion in the silence of this end of the day. Around me soft fields offer forms and sinuous valleys, small pools of water resist the advance of a white layer and shrubs hardly trying to find their place in this white winter world. Ephemeral human presences in the distance coming out from the fog and, for a moment, I believe I can fly riding… the silence of snow.


Photo of the month: February

Tech data: Canon EOS 5D, Canon EF 70-200 mm f/4 L, f/7.1, 1/400, ISO 200 - Polarizer. 
Location: Bled Lake, Slovenia

When I travel, just only few times I tend to shoot postcard-pictures, most of all I prefer to study and interpret the sense of a place trying to give a non trivial vision of it. Bled is a major tourist attraction in Slovenia known for its castle and its lake. Here I try to give my vision of the iconic church located on the island in the middle of the lake.
Mystic reflections
is the new photo of the month on my website. Enjoy!
