an endless journey...

Hot! In Paradise

Capturing every beautiful place on earth is an endless journey. To me there are more than seven wonders of the world, beyond each new path there is a different wonder. As Louis Armstrong once sang:

I see skies of blue..... clouds of white
Bright blessed days....dark sacred nights
And I think to myself .....what a wonderful world.

In the "Trovare il modo" photo essay.
