Visiting This World

Exploring the path alongside this monumental structure, a connection to the past felt with each step.

So many places I visit have a real sense of history, of layers built up over centuries. This aqueduct in Capannori, Italy, felt like walking through a living postcard. There’s always something new, even in the familiar.

Looking out over this expansive landscape, the layering of mountains extends into the distance toward the setting sun. From this height, the green fields and forests stretch out, broken by the winding roads and the faint glimmer of buildings. It is a quiet study of light and land in the last light of the day.

This Atlantic Puffin on a tuft of grass near water captures a moment of stillness, a rare one in a puffin's life.

I can spend hours watching these birds, with their uniquely designed beaks, so perfectly adapted for catching fish. There's a patience to their movements, a quiet determination.
