After some thought, I've determined that I get more minutes of direct sunlight if I hike counter-clockwise around the mountain than if I hike clockwise. The sun is a moving floodlight.

I'm here in #Italy for the longer days. I've been unreasonably happy and energetic today, only my fourth day in Italy. Less than a week ago I was intensely uncomfortable for no reason.

I’ve taken many shots like this, every year, with the same subject and in the same place. Yet I’m still fascinated by this perspective.
This one is from just a few hours ago: the sunset and the "fragile" flower. A breath of wind will be enough, and the flower, as we see it, will vanish. Yet it will be everywhere, spreading itself across the world.
There it stands, swaying in the gentle air and the soft warmth of a November sunset, defying whatever happens around it.

No yesterday, no tomorrow - just here, now, basking in this poetic light.

And life, silently, flows on.

Looking down the Bramante Staircase in the Vatican museum. The staircase is actually a double helix design which includes seperate ramps (up and down) that don’t connect with one another.
