A Studio Ghibli Scene Around Every Corner.

Beneath the cut: ten photographs of the landscape around the place we were staying in Italy!
























What a ludicrously beautiful place. I spent a lot of time on this holiday just staring out at the mountains.

Oh that is gorgeous!

[rionaleonhart]

It's such a stunning place!

[sideways]

Ohh, amazing *o* You have a good eye for scenic shots!

[rionaleonhart]

Thank you! I've basically just followed my dad's photography advice: 'If you want to take good photographs, just take a lot of photographs, and some of them will be good.'

[sewn]

That's absolutely beautiful. Great shots!

[rionaleonhart]

Thank you! ♥

[marginaliana]

Lovely!!

[rionaleonhart]

[vriddy]

How wonderful :D

[rionaleonhart]

It really was!

[lunakomfloukru]

That place looks *literally* magical. You captured it beautifully!

[rionaleonhart]

Thank you! It was pretty magical.

Okay but what’s the floating shadow to the left of your shadow?

[rionaleonhart]

Oh, that's me. I am actually a giant bird. The person-shaped shadow is just someone I'm about to swoop down on.

I love that the UK sells mobile phones and data plans to English-speaking birds. Very woke, as the kids say.

[pauraque]

Pretty!

[rionaleonhart]

Thank you!

[ryulynn]

Nice photos! I'm glad you had a good vacation there. Hopefully one day I will get to visit too.

[rionaleonhart]

Thank you! I hope you get the chance as well.

[hamsterwoman]

Oh wow, so gorgeous and green! Really lovely photos!

[rionaleonhart]

Thank you! It was stunningly green. There were thunderstorms most afternoons, so the place was evidently well watered, but there was also plenty of weather more suitable for enjoying the scenery.

pretttyyyyyyy

[rionaleonhart]

Mountains are always so exciting to me; I'm so used to living in a city surrounded by flat farmland! I remember losing my mind over the scenery at Yosemite as well.

[zarla]

I've always lived in a valley so mountains are a common thing for me! Flat areas kind of freak me out, haha

[apiphile]

Gosh that's absolutely beautiful, I am extremely envious. I hope you get to go back there again next summer so I can re-enjoy another vicarious vacation ;)

[rionaleonhart]

Thank you! I hope a holiday falls into your lap somehow, but I'm glad if I can provide vicarious ones in the meantime.

Ooooh, this is actually a lot how I pictured this place when you wrote about it (especially the first picture for some reason, with the neon green nature and the decorations). :D Everything is so lovely, and the photo with the shadow is cool af! ♡

[rionaleonhart]

I'm glad this could match up to your mental picture! Here are a few secret extra pictures from the holiday, just for you, because I forgot about them when I was putting this entry together:

[facethestrange]

Ahhh, thank you, I feel honored! :D Gorgeous pictures, and they made me go google for photos taken from a mountain I used to climb, because I miss how the town looked from up there. ♡
