Lens-Artists: Look up to beauty

An afternoon in Italy in late September. All one could want from life, really.

I met my visitors in Orvieto, Umbria, and then we went to Bolsena by the lake (in Lazio), the town where I haven’t strolled yet. It was a great place for the golden hour, but then – they all are.

As for looking up – you will do that a lot in Italy. There are beasties in the architecture, plants growing out of heads and even just the sky is that killer shade of blue which mother once wanted for her bedroom curtains. It goes well with everything.

And all this was just Day One.

In Orvieto the cathedral suddenly bumps into you, or you into it.

A first couple of beasties.

And this is what exactly? Looks like something from a vampire movie.

Whereas these two are a couple of Canadians.

The full house.

Orvieto is full of little nooks.

We stopped at the rest place with the belle vue of Orvieto. This is Banana-Joe and he has seen places.

Then we stopped at Bolsena by the lake. Some parts of it were already in shade.

But even just an ordinary house looked splendid.

Some of it was half in shade, half in light. What exactly is this babe doing on top of this man?

But when you looked up, all worries drifted away.

Must be a light for Joey.

This head was particularly arresting.

The eyes were a bit droopy.

Another Bolsena flower child.

Good bye, Bolsena, the bird in flight and the yawning lady!
