Sardinia, Italy. In a narrow canyon surrounded by limestone cliffs, a unique place forged by nature and by time is hidden in the deep of the forest: it’s a sinkhole with resurgence, whose waterfall feeds a pond. Depending on the time of the year and the weather, the waterfall can grow from a feeble stream to a roaring gush.
Rolling hills. Late afternoon in the countryside of Tuscany. The view of the fallow fields is an uncommon sight for a landscape which is famous for its vibrant green hills, nonetheless it’s a fascinating view. I decided to emphasize this mood using a monochromatic color grading, using the hues of the soil.
The twilight on Capo Pecora, Sardinia, changed the landscape amazingly: the golden halo of sunlight decreased and the sky darkened, becoming deep blue. In that moment the lower sides of the clouds turned purple, painting a mesmerizing canvas above the sea; part of those vibrant hues mirrored on the almost still water of the cove. I was in an estathic wonder, practically hypnotized by such an amazing sight; nonetheless I seized the opportunity to capture it to the best of my ability.

The road that leads up to Mount Amiata passes through the ancient and misty forest made of Beech and Chestnut trees.
