I’m not one to usually get up before the sun- especially long enough before the sun to allow time for some yoga and then walk across the city to scale down the cliff and watch the sunrise from the rocks of Passetto. When in Italy? No biggie. I’ll get up as early as necessary to watch the sunrise and stay up as late as necessary to watch the sunset. Because both take my breath away every single time.
Did you know that Ancona is one of the few places in the world from which you can watch the sunrise and the sunset over the sea? As if this little port city wasn’t amazing enough already.
So, this is sunrise.
Passetto Sunrise
Best companions: cup of tea and a blanket to sit on. Even if in a few hours the air will be thick and hot in all of its summer glory, the first couple of hours of light are still refreshing. Watching a couple of fishermen sail off into the glowing horizon, an old lady or two wade along the shore, and a variety of birds swopping up and down, it’s hard to imagine a better way to start another day.
your work is stunning. I get pelle d’oca observing these canvasses – and I really am intrigued to see how your story unravels, ravels, and then unravels again. Amazing.
oh btw I am at dianabaur.com – because this is wp.com, it takes you to one of my four thousand failed experimental free blogs that I tried out on wp and don’t know how to delete. haha
Good luck… maybe you would like to stay in touch. I’m an Antipodean artist who couldn’t say goodbye to Italy. If you want to head south of Rome at all let me know 🙂
Yes, please!
Actually, South-Of-Rome-Italy is where I always wanted to explore the most- then I got stuck in Ancona. Ma con piacere! Ci vediamo presto.
Email me or FB email… I’m easy to find. I’d love to know more, and maybe I can share some of my ups and downs to help smooth your path! But (hahahaha) from one not so patient person to another, the quality you need most here is… (yes, you got it right!)
In you, I have found another inspiration for my some-day dream! Thank you for sharing your journey. 🙂
Thank you for letting me share my journey with you : )
I hope that some-day comes soon! I’m not a very patient person, so… I suggest that if it seems too far away, give it a good whistle.
