“Is not this a true autumn day? Just the still melancholy that I love – that makes life and nature harmonise. The birds are consulting about their migrations, the trees are putting on the hectic or the pallid hues of decay, and begin to strew the ground, that one’s very footsteps may not disturb the repose of earth and air, while they give us a scent that is a perfect anodyne to the restless spirit.
Delicious autumn! My very soul is wedded to it, and if I were a bird I would fly about the earth seeking the successive autumns.” ~ George Eliot

Gran Sasso: The Corno Grande Peak

La pace e lo spettacolo della natura sono gli elementi principali di questo luogo eterno ed infinito. Tutto appare immobile e i colori autunnali lo rendono quasi monocromatico… | photo & video: ©MateldaCodagnone

Fine Estate :: Photos de Voyage

This summer too, is coming to a close; the longest and hottest ever. We will miss it, because, as Ennio Flaiano said:

“There is only one season: summer. So gorgeous that the others ring around it. Autumn recalls it, winter beseeches it, spring envies it and childishly tries to spoil it.” ~Ennio Flaviano
