An image of the Prospettiva della Giovecca in Ferrara, Italy during sunset. The large archway frames the setting sun, casting a warm orange glow on the cobblestone street. A silhouette of a person on a bicycle is seen approaching the arch, with buildings lining the sides of the street. The sky is a gradient of purples and pinks, complementing the historic architecture.
Memories of a walk in nature, 13 years ago, in search of a Silent Sunday, a bit of peace in a tumultuous and turbulent period of my life that would soon come to an end, although I didn't know it yet.
This photo holds a profound significance, known only to me.
This is a serene photo capturing a group of common reeds, illuminated by the soft, warm glow of the setting sun. The reeds are in sharp focus in the foreground, while the background is a gently blurred landscape featuring a tranquil waterway, flanked by grassy banks that lead to a line of tall, slender trees in the distance. The trees' bare branches suggest it is winter. The low angle of the sun creates a peaceful ambiance and casts a golden hue over the scene, highlighting the feathery plumes of the reeds and giving the entire image a quiet, timeless quality.
My chinchilla Muffin, who is so startled by the flash of my camera that her eyes look like googly-eyes. She has been stopped mid-gnaw as she is exploring and pooping all over her new Christmas gift: big new wooden ledges for her to perch on while watching us work in the home office.
