Series - Top 10 Drives of a lifetime: #7 Romantische Straße, Germany

Beautiful medieval town of Rothenburg o/d Tauber by night
The Romantic Road, linking the Alps to the river Main, along the western border of Bavaria, is Germany's best known and most popular holiday route.
Over 350 miles of country roads allow you to admire the beautiful and historic medieval towns of Lower Franconia, Swabia and Bavaria. The road often winds through forgotten sections of countryside, connecting walled towns and picturesque villages.

From Wurzburg, Rothenburg, Nordlingen and Dinkelsbuhl, charming towns rich in history and fortunately not involved in the bombing war, to Augusta, rich city bank, and Fussen, the starting point of the German Alpine Road. Fairytale castles like Neuschwanstein and the Alps complete the charm.
The Romantic Road is really a journey not to be missed.

Protected beauty


I've always been fascinated by protected flowers.
The idea of finding one during a hike or just thinking about a particular species with only few specimens in the world adds charm and mystery around these flowers.

One of the most beautiful lilies that arise spontaneously in our Alps is Martagon Lily (Lilium Martagon) with its pink petals, purple stained and curved upwards.

Legend has it that the Martagon Lily blooms for a single night... in fact, because of its delicacy and fragility, its life is limited only to a few days!
Here you can see one of my close encounter during last summer...

The pleasure of simplicity


It may seem obvious but sometimes the best shots are just the simplest ones, arising from unlikely subjects or color combinations almost casually observed.

When it comes to photographing for your personal pleasure, little moments, small details and ordinary scenes can offer many ideas and suggestions.

Sometimes you just have to find out a few minutes of tranquility in order to feel satisfied.

Photo of the month: May


In the popular imagination the Volkswagen Beetle is perhaps one of the few cars that has preserved its charm and it's probably one of those cars that never die.

There are now so many years that the Volkswagen Beetle is no longer in production but its nice design is surely deeply displayed into our hearts.

Every time I see a Beetle I can not avoid to immortalize it, like a sort of nostalgic tribute to a now distant past...
