that will end up in pieces of artbooks. everyone concentrated.

windows in Orvieto

ornaments/symbols

they are everywhere, especially as we lived in a convent, but also in town, all these madonnas
and christian symbols. i think it has an impact when you meet these everywhere. it´s gets you in a
pieceful mood.

last days of summer

I have almost lost the blogging after this summer. But here it comes again.

I do love the late summer when everything smells full and the colours are getting

fuller as well. That last swim in the soft sea and the last of every corner.

Always makes me nostalgic! Never want to leave for the city.
