Mirko
°
I met Mirko and his friends on the beach in Italy this summer.
We decided spontaneously to take some photos.
°
I had an idea involving splashing water and movement—in this photo, we see Mirko in full action.
It was great fun, and I was delighted to meet these friendly, high-spirited young men.
°
My heartfelt thanks once again to Damiano (Dami), Davide (Davide Tolu), and Mirko (Mirko Stefani), and all their friends!
°
I wish you all a wonderful day and a great rest of the week!

I Tori Di Torre
°
A play on words that only works in Italian: „The Bulls of Torre del Lago“ (literal translation).
°
I met these three very likable young men on the beach.
°
Damiano (right) and Davide (left) are brothers; Mirko is in the middle.
They are both very warm-hearted and open young men, and after I showed them my photos, we spontaneously decided to take some pictures together.
Many thanks again to Damiano (Dami), Davide (Davide Tolu) in the middle is Mirko, a mutual friend of theirs.
°
Summer is also a time to show off—and in a sense, celebrate—one’s body and skin.
I am far from comparing myself to their physiques, and I would advise others against doing so, too.
Loving your own body is far more important.
°
Independently of these handsome young men, I decided to pay even closer attention to my diet and exercise even more than before.
Having trained extensively with a personal trainer for several years, I know what is possible.
Right now, I’m trying to get the absolute best out of my body again.
°
I’m 10 kg lighter now; I can feel the training taking effect, and I’m slowly starting to like what I see in the mirror again.
It’s a process; regular exercise creates its own momentum and naturally leads to setting new goals.
°
Mens sana in corpore sano – (A healthy mind in a healthy body)
°
Wishing you all a wonderful day and a great rest of the week!

Refreshing
I am one of those people who keep returning to the places they love.
°
This summer, I spent a few days back at a beach in Tuscany.
°
I happened to run into Davide (Davide Tolu), his brother Damiano (Dami), and Mirko (Mirko Stefani) there.
They introduced me to their entire group of friends, who were enjoying the summer at this beach together with their families.
°
I showed them my photos, and they were excited about the idea of ​​me taking pictures of them.
°
In this series, I’m sharing some shots from the session we did one afternoon in the scorching beach heat.
Davide (Davide Tolu) is pictured in this photo.
°
I wish you all a great start to the new week!

Perspectives from the Shadow
°
This photo was taken while I was lying in the shade on my deck chair, capturing my surroundings.
°
A young man is lying in the sand in the blazing sun.
Wouldn’t we love to know what the young man really looks like? – That is the allure of intriguing concealment.
°
I wish you all a wonderful weekend!

The Transparent Veil
°
Evening has fallen. The sun is still glaring, and the waves reflect the colorless light.
°
A young man enters the water, picking up the rhythm of the incoming waves.
°
It was only when looking at the photo that I realized what it reminded me of:
Marble sculptures that—thanks to supreme sculptural skill—appear to be draped in a transparent veil.
°
What is truly amazing is that, when viewing these artworks, it looks as though a veil has been placed over the face, even though the entire piece consists of a single block of marble. I did some research on this; it was even the subject of a scientific study showing how our senses influence our perception.
°
My attention was drawn back to this topic—which has always fascinated me—by Markus_geschwind, who posted a photo a few days ago of the sculpture *The Veiled Sarah*.
It is a work by Andrea Corradini, dating from around 1720. Anyone interested in this subject is welcome to check out Markus’s post.
°
I wish you all a relaxing Sunday and hope your mood is just as cheerful as the weather!

Sunny prospects
°
For many, summer also means showing off and celebrating one’s own body.
°
Some people lie in the sun, while others groan in the heat.
°
Although I love being by the sea, I haven’t actually sunbathed to get a tan for years; I much prefer the shade.
°
I also find it too boring just to lie around doing nothing, so I always have something to read with me—and sometimes my camera, too.
°
I took this photo at the beach out of sheer boredom, more or less—I was simply capturing my surroundings with my camera. :-)
°
I wish you all a great start to the new week!
