Lightfall
Cascata delle Marmore captured in a moment of pure magic. Sunbeams "fall" along with the water, creating an explosion of brilliance amidst the lush vegetation. It is a scene that radiates energy and freshness.
Layers of Silence
A landscape where the mountain and the forest play hide-and-seek with the morning mist. The golden morning light transforms the water vapors into a veil of light that softens the rugged contours of the ridges.
Mirror of Giants
A low-angle perspective of the Gran Sasso massif, where the mountain seems to lean down to see its reflection in the clear waters. The warm light on the peaks and the clear sky create a sense of monumental tranquility.
The Patience of the Waters
There's something fascinating about this tree that seems to float. Although it's surrounded only by water and the flight of birds, it doesn't seem lonely, but rather lording it over the tranquility of the lake at sunset.
Window to the Light
There are mornings when the forest seems to breathe pure light. This spectacle of rays piercing the treetops transforms a simple corner of nature into a natural cathedral. It is that brief moment, of a few minutes, when everything seems to be arranged in perfect order.
The Suspended Haven
Nature creates its own architecture where the banks of the Velino River meet under a canopy of dense green. The arching branches form a natural tunnel that isolates the watercourse from the rest of the world, transforming the landscape into a space of absolute silence. It is an image of balance and flow, where the organic geometry of the forest is mirrored in the slow movement of the river, offering the viewer a moment of respite, away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
Suspended Horizon
The stillness of the water was so deep that the world seemed to have doubled. That small boat is the only detail that anchors us in reality and gives us a scale of vastness. I love the perfect symmetry between the trees and their reflection, a moment of fragile balance colored by the soft light of dawn.
Island in the Sky
Up there, where the earth meets the sky, everything seems detached from reality. The setting light has carved out the refuge on the ridge, leaving behind only endless layers of mountains and absolute freedom.
Heralds
Fragility and strength at the same time. It's fascinating how these diaphanous petals have the power to break the cold earth and announce, through their vibrant color, that life begins again.
The Silence Above the World
I stood in the cold for minutes just to catch this light. There's something incredible about the way the clouds nestle between the valleys, as if the mountain wants to pull a blanket over itself before going to sleep. You look at those layers of peaks that seem to never end and you feel how, suddenly, all your worries below become so small and unimportant. It's just the mountain, the setting sun, and me.
Into the Depths
You're not just looking at a forest, you're looking deep into it. The fog blurs the boundary between land and air, and the tall trees seem to watch over a descent in absolute silence, far from the noise of the world above.
Winter Calligraphy
A blank page on which winter has practiced its signature. Thousands of fine, white and luminous lines intertwine in an organized chaos, an ancient writing that you don't have to read, but just feel.
Geometry of Time
The forest has become a huge sundial. Each long shadow cast on the pristine snow is not just a dark line, but a second caught in place. I love the mathematical stillness of this landscape, where the light measures, without haste, the age of winter.
Above the Clouds
A spectacular panorama from the summit of Mount Terminillo captures the weather station surrounded by an ocean of clouds at sunset. The observation tower emerges from a vaporous sea of fog that envelops the Apennines, and the sky is ablaze in shades of intense yellow and orange. This sentinel station, located at 2,216 meters above sea level, monitors the weather in the heart of central Italy, offering a unique perspective on atmospheric phenomena. In the foreground, dry alpine grasses glow in the warm light of the sunset, anchoring this ethereal scene. The image evokes the grandeur of Lazio's mountain landscapes and the importance of meteorological observations made from such impressive heights.
The Golden Fortress
A fairytale scene captures the legendary Almourol Castle in all its sunset splendor, surrounded by the tranquil waters of the Tagus River. The medieval fortress, with its imposing crenellated towers, rises on a rocky promontory covered with vegetation, its silhouette dramatically outlined against the flaming sky. The spectacular clouds, painted in shades of orange, pink and gold, create an almost supernatural atmosphere, while a solitary tree reflects the last light of day. The water mirrors the sky's colors like liquid copper, transforming this historic scene into a perfect romantic tableau.
Shadow Roots
On a white, minimalist canvas, a solitary tree reveals its hidden network. Its shadow spreads across the snow not as a simple reflection, but as a complex system of dark roots, visually anchoring the tree to the ground. It is a profoundly graphic image, an abstract study of form and its echo, transforming a familiar subject into a visual metaphor for what lies beneath the surface.
Station Between the Clouds
In a quiet recess of the mountain, out of season, the old chairlift station stands like a rusty sentinel. Above, a dramatic sky, heavy with storm clouds, portends rain and casts a heavy shadow over the landscape. But in the distance, like a promise, a last ray of sunlight penetrates, bathing a hill in a golden, almost unreal light. It is a picture of contrasts: between the melancholy of waiting and the beauty of a fleeting moment, between the overwhelming power of nature and the imprint of man left behind.
Embracing the Mist
Dense fog covers the forest, leaving only the dark silhouettes of the trees to shine through the milky white. In a profound silence, the landscape becomes almost abstract, a grayscale study of loneliness and rediscovery. It is an image of the mysterious beauty of nature, captured in a moment of absolute calm and introspection.
The Guardian of Memories
On a hill bathed in the warm light of the sunset, an old chapel stands as a silent witness to time. Its walls preserve the echo of unspoken prayers and past generations, gazing at the landscape with melancholic wisdom.
The Sentinel on the Mountain
High up, on the border between earth and sky, a solitary outpost watches over a sea of hills and mountains. In the magical light of the sunset, the landscape transforms into a canvas of vibrant colors—from the warm gold of the grass to the violet-blue of the misty valleys, sprinkled with lights like fallen stars. The road that winds to the peak is an invitation to ascend, a journey to a place where silence is broken only by the wind. It is a portrait of majestic solitude and the fragile connection between human technology and the timeless grandeur of nature.
Golden Dream
At the border between night and day, when the world is still asleep, nature directs the most spectacular plays. "Golden Dream" captures exactly such an ephemeral and magical moment. A sea of dense fog floods the valley, hiding everything under a white and fluffy blanket, from which only the lofty peaks of the mountains rise, like islands in an ethereal ocean. Then, the first rays of the sun touch the horizon, painting the sky in incandescent shades of gold and orange. Warm light kisses the crest of these waves of fog, creating a landscape of unreal beauty, a fairyland suspended between earth and sky. The photograph is not just a landscape, but a transposition of the feeling of amazement and hope that we feel in front of a new beginning.
Where Time Flows Differently
At the blue hour, the river at Unhais da Serra is transformed. Water, turned to silk by the magic of long exposure, flows smoothly over the stone weir. Between the warm rocks and the discreet light on the horizon, it is an image of perfect balance and profound tranquility.
