Café Culture
There’s something about sipping a morning cappuccino at a Tuscan terrace, in a narrow cobblestone street, watching the town shake off its slumber, that is deeply satisfying. Bar Rossi is a small café in the medieval town of Orbetello. It has a good vantage point overlooking the shops on Corso…
“The Calm Sea” – The story behind this photo

Moments of Silence – Czech Ossuaries in Photography
