 farewell, gargnano


















back to the start! here are some shots i took on our first evening in gargnano. after sitting in the car for long hours, buying some local food at the grocery store, sitting on the balcony and eating deliciously fried courgette flowers while looking at lake garda, we decided to finish the day and explore gargnano a bit. the sun had already set and the evening had drawn a veil of blues over the town and the lake. the air was still warm. at a little harbour people were sitting outside, chatting and eating ice cream on a park bench or dinner in one of the many restaurants. it was so peaceful there and it felt good to be a part of it.

now that i'm back in germany i notice a change of mind that always happens to me after i've been away and seen something new. it's not only that back home i discovered that the shadows have grown longer and that the light is much softer now - something i would have been unaware of if i had stayed. it's also that for a couple of months i had the feeling that i am so used to the streets i walk, to the houses i pass and to what i do everyday. i felt used to my life. being away always gives you the chance to come back and see everything with a fresh mind and a fresh eye. i did and i am still astounded by how much beauty i find everday.
