This stunning sunset "burn" the small town, reflecting not only on the sea, but also on the roman/medieval buildings of this hamlet. The red sun ,whose reflection can be seen on the girl’s hair, put in evidence the silhouette of the town, showing us the bell tower of the old theatre. The whole composition , with her looking down the balcony and the old town behind, transmit a sense of melancholy, also linked with the end of the day.

Near the shore, in the early morning or at twilight, you can find the fishermen’s boats. Most of these men are still living in perfect communion with the sea,
respecting it and following the signs of nature to do their job.

When I said that they follow “the signs of nature” I really meant it! The sky is one of the most important supporter of these people’s work, it tells when to start working and to stop, sometimes it helps to predict what’s the weather is going to be. In this photo I wanted to focus on the union between earth and sky; the colour goes from the warm one of earth, enlightened by the sunset, to the cold deep blue of the outer sky, reminding to a sense of infinity.
