Exploring the alleys of Europe – Lake Como, Italy

As seen in: Europe, HDR, Travel

“There is no end. There is no beginning. There is only the infinite passion of life.” – Federico Fellini

Seems like the rest of the world, or at least the European world that I like to explore from time to time, is is a deeper pursuit of life than I observe here in the states. Of course I realize the absurdity of this blanket statement, but perhaps there is a weee bit of truth there. Perhaps it was my own perspective as viewed from an overworked American attempting to slow down and enjoy life without the usual interuptions faced by being an entrepreneur and business owner. Seems like all of the Mediterranean enjoys an eternal buffet of some of the finest goodies life has to offer. Architecture, music, art, food, wine, conversation, and yes…..time off; like an eternal siesta.

Perhaps it was just my own perception as I allowed myself to also explore those finer things in life while there, but perhaps not. They might be onto something over there!

Anyway, here’s to slowing down to enjoy your own personal feast of the good things in life.

Cheers!

    I was reviewing photos for Key West, and came upon this…beautiful!
    I think my most memorable trip so far in my life was to Tuscany, I loved
    the scenes such as this…the classic little town of Pienza comes to mind.
    If you have this available as a print, I’d love to purchase one…if not
    lets talk.ReplyCancel
