Where the dream begins

Sitting in between all this mighty old Olive trees, smelling them, touching their skin, that is the moment, that is the place where the dream begins, where emotions start jumping thru your body, the moment when meditation starts. Giving ideas, feeding your brain with visions, with creations. That is the moment when you start to see the scenery thru your heart. Press the button, let the emotions go, they will lead you to a wonderful experience. So i took this picture, knowing, that it will be only a starting point for a new piece of art work for my Olivetree series. Feeling the soul of the trees, see they slow dance

Another day in Tuscany

After the incredible experience with Olympus in Zingst, I needed a contrast of emotions. So we went to Tuscany, Italy, more precisely to Reggello Sant’Agata, region Florence. We rented a room from “I Bonsi” :) Well, that was a real surprise. An estate of a special kind. Our small room had about 65 square meters size, located on two levels and located in a tower of the building. In the middle of nowhere, no traffic, no noise, pure nature, some peacocks running around freely, visiting us from time to time :)In the evening it was pitchblack, no light, just BLACK at night. And yet the next delicious pizzeria was only 10 minutes by car. Who dares at night only with car light corridors to cut into the darkness, to drive on narrow winding roads :)

An enormous place, with about 140,000 olive trees

The Queen

The Queen of Olive tree in the pale light of the moon under a sky made of steel. Waiting, waiting for the harvest to come, which is already approaching.

The Queen

It was late, the sun went down and it was still terrible hot, about 40°C. But such beautiful Olivetrees were worth a walk up the dry and dusty hill. On the top i saw here: The Olivetree-Queen, gently touched and kissed by the last red-gold light of the warm sun. It was an outstanding moment.
