I HAVE ALWAYS FOUND PEACE IN NATURE, A KIND OF INTRINSIC PEACE. LANDSCAPES, WITH THEIR DIVERSITY AND INFINITE BEAUTY, ARE A CONSTANT REMINDER OF THE CIRCLE OF LIFE AND OUR PLACE IN IT.
Walking among the trees, listening to the whispers of a river, or simply gazing at a mountain in the distance, restores me to a state of serenity that is difficult to find in the rush of everyday life. Full moon, rising sun, deep blue of the evening, golden light of the morning, leaden grey of winter, ochres of autumn, the wind on my face, warmth on my skin, explosion of colour before my eyes… It’s as if nature whispers ancient secrets to me, stories of past and future times, renewing the connection with my own energy and spirit.
Sometimes, when I feel the stress and worries arise, I seek some solace in the landscape. This is where I find my centre, where things make sense again and where my heart fills with gratitude and wonder. It’s as if the landscape reminds me of my origins.
I want to share with you some of those special moments I have captured during my walks and travels. Far and near, sometimes all it took was a glance out of the window. These photos are not just beautiful images; they are landscapes that have given me strength, that have allowed me to reconnect with myself and remember what truly matters.
I hope that, as you look at your own landscapes, you can find your centre too. I hope that these images serve as a reminder that there is always a natural refuge waiting for us, ready to give us a respite and renew our “Life Force”.
The Landscaping Solace is one of my compilation of Life Force Tools, practical strategies to build resilience in adversity.
