The last breath of summer……

White sunflowers, never seen those before

A soft ocean breeze softly moving chimes, hanging from pepper trees

Zen Moments celebrating the end of summer

Still Photography

My mind was debating whether I name this post Still Photography or Still Life Photography. Well Still life Photography is more of arranged subjects, like for example in a painting. Since some of my objects are outdoors , therefore it’s all given in its own placement, I decided to call it Still Photography, of subjects that don’t move, let’s put it this way.

A delicious summer drink

Murano glass bottles in the museum

My dolls from childhood

Is the curtain opening or closing…

The happy garlic to be added to the meal

Empty water bottles in Italy

The basket needs to be filled in Italy

The red wine bottle that reflects the city in Italy

The last one of playing “music chair” in Italy?
