Some images from my almost adopted country set to the music of the national anthem and a Ken Burns effect.

We spent a few hours in Seravezza yesterday.

The political situation here in Italy is precarious. Since their last elections a few months ago where PD, Partito Democratico (Democratic Party) lost badly to Cinque Stelle (5 Stars) and the other more right wing parties, the winners could agree to form a coalition government until a few days ago.

Driving around in Italy with the Fiat Seicento

Emmarentia Botanic Gardens is one of my favourite places in Jozi. 

This part of the park is a doggie heaven and pet owners from all the surrounding suburbs descend to allow their furry family time to frolic amongst the trees and bushes

Mountains give perspective and so does solitude. In the presence of my favourite one’s my I spent time atop the mountain.

It inspires great soul searching to be over 3,000 feet. A kilometre above the Ocean while taking this shot.

I realised that my own personal power has been diminishing in a collaboration with another in the most intimate of ways.
