Europe 2024

In winter 2023 I went to Europe for a month and took lots of photos. A holiday I am reminded of constantly by being cold and unignorably not in Europe at times in winter 2024.

Despite posting a lot of photos during my trip, I had hundreds more to edit since then and the proportion of time I spent photographing in Europe has not been matched by the time I've spent posting them since.

So what better way to reminisce than to actually post some photos from 2023 in 2024.

This is part one.

Birds over Rome, just before sunrise. Thanks jetlag. View from Terrazza del Pincio. Not pictured - Vanessa eating an apple.


Castello Aragonese d'Ischia. You can walk up there and there's like five churches, some nice gardens and at least two places to buy a coffee.


Chiostro maiolicato (Cloister of Saint Clair). A contrast to the surrounding city of Napoli. Lots of cool artwork on tiles in a nice garden.


Lemon plantations on the stairs/hike up from Amalfi towards the forest.


One of the old paper mills near Amalfi on the way through Valle delle Ferriere.


More ruins between waterfalls in Valle delle Ferriere (Valley of the Mills).


Hiking on the path of the gods.


Positano from above, descending from path of the gods down to the sea of humanity.


Amalfi and Atrani seen from the ferry to Salerno. I hiked to basically every corner of this photo. Was one of the best weekends of my life.


Basilica di Santa Croce di Firenze, with Tuscany Hills in the background, taken from the top of the Duomo.


Interior view of the Duomo's painting.


Grand Canal, I think near Ponte di Rialto.


Piazza San Marco in the background, taken from the eastern tip of Dorsoduro


View from my favourite bridge in Venice, Ponte dell'Accademia.


Same outlook, featuring a gondola.

I love trees. They're tall and stoic, so I relate to them. I feel a sense of serenity and belonging when walking beneath an ancient forest canopy and that is not just because most ancient forest canopies I've walked under have been adjacent to a thriving craft beer industry

Today was always going to be the best day of the year to see a sunrise.
