DOLOMITES: STORYBOOK EDITION (ON ITALIAN PAPER)
Anytime we’re outside, hiking along trails and running through fields, I can’t help but feel as if I’m living a fantastical moment in an old storybook. Between the jagged mountains of the Dolomites, and soft rolling hills of Tuscany, Italy offered countless extraordinary sights for my imagination to wander. This two-part “Storybook Edition” series illustrates the Italian countryside like how I’d desire to see it in a children’s picture book.
This piece is a snapshot of a picture I took in the Dolomites, when we visited back in mid-August. We had woken up at 4 AM to see the famous Santa Maddalena viewpoint at sunrise, and we were rewarded with a whole morning of quiet and gentle bliss. All I could hear was a babbling brook in the distance, and all I could inhale was clean, fresh air. The mountains glowed in the distance with elegance and magnificence, and it all felt like a moment where the world stopped turning. Take this piece home, and enjoy a little escape in your living space. It will remind you to take a moment out of your day to go breathe, and to go enjoy Mother Nature.
