Nominee

The placidity of the Innigati stream

The Alferello waterfall in spring, I was enchanted by the harmony of the overlapping between the small growing leaves and the majesty of the flowing water.

Armony

I love waterfalls, there are many in Italy, but this one is my favorite. No taller than a man, it represents the wilderness of the Umbria region.

Natural bath in the Cold river

Nestled in the Italian countryside, not far from quaint agricultural hamlets, lie numerous ancient olive groves, now quietly abandoned. They stand as silent witnesses to the toil and dedication of past generations who poured their hearts into these lands.

Honorable Mention

As everything is painted in warm hues, the green of the olive trees stands out even more strongly.

Olive Grove in Autumn

It struck me how this pasture drew such soft yet precise lines. The blue of the sky, just after the arrival of the sun, creates very evocative shades.
