"Beauty as an explosion of energy perfectly contained."
~Richard Holmes
Driving through the mountain passes in Italy was an experience in and of itself. Sometimes I was amazed we were able to return our rental car without a scratch on it! I wanted to stop and capture every crevice, every movement of light and subtle change in weather. It's scenes like this one, though, that put the brakes on the rush through the Alps and I was able to slow down enough to find time to create and capture the landscape in its beauty.
