My first encounter with mountains was in Italy.
After one night of driving, the mountains towered up in front of me.
That landscape was magnificent and impressive.
I’ll will never forget the following days on narrow mountain roads. A sublime adventure.

I travel not to go anywhere, but to go. I travel for travel’s sake. The great affair is to move.

We leave something of ourselves behind when we leave a place, we stay there, even though we go away. And there are things in us that we can find again only by going back there.

Beautiful paintings and aphorisms, Hanna. It’s nice that we never forget some places that left a lasting impression on us.
Thank you, Tanja!! It was an adventurous road trip filled with spectacular experiences 😃
I’m glad for you!
They say travel broadens the mind….. I tend to feel that travel changes you just a little and plants a seed that says ‘lets do some more’. 🙂
It may well be the seed is small, David. But it has unimaginable power 😃
What beautiful paintings, Hana! And how amazing to have experienced your first Mountain Views in Italy!
Thank you, Ab. Mountains, overlooking the sea! It’s not getting any better! 😃
Beautiful paintings of a beautiful place! 🙂
