toscana
Have you ever had one of those moments where you’re suddenly and unexpectedly transported to a different time and place? A feeling so bright that for a few seconds you can’t breathe, a flickering kaleidoscope of images bursting into your mind like the rapidly turning pages of a picture book.
Heading up through the ever-darkening hedgerows from a deserted cove I had been shooting at a few nights ago was one of those moments. Maybe it was the warm summer air or the scent of flowers drifting over the fields. Or even the fireflies flitting in and out of my vision, tiny pin pricks of light dancing on their nocturnal stage. But for whatever reason, I was suddenly in Tuscany again, the morning dew saturated with the oily fragrance of wild herbs and the mist filled valleys unfolding beneath me. I wasn’t intending to post this image but to me this represents a perfect moment in time. A time when we could travel easily. When everything seemed to be within our reach. In some ways, a time of innocence before the world changed.
But before you all think I’ve turned melancholy and introspective, don't worry. The next image is business as usual with a tale of stupidity, mistaken identity and embarrassment on the beach.
Enjoying my time away from the NHS- thank you to those who have emailed and messaged in my absence from here. Have a great week, Flickrites.
