wishing our starlit man @willsergeant.com a very belated happy birthday!
it’s 6am now. just finished off this piece for the occasion.
enough words have been said; none can express how enchanting, meaningful, lifesaving his work is to me and many. this is my own way of thanking him for all. ta! 🕯️
evening!🕯
slick silence on the way to and from the nettuno.
i wandered around happy and fascinated, almost in a glistening daze like betty from mulholland drive - taken aback by the historical signs, the immense architectures towering, and every single shop window in sight.

evening🕯
a few people-less moments in piazza nettuno. as if happened, i landed home so late everything was closing, so i took time to unwind and then visit the city to run my gaze across archways and along battlements without anyone around. thursday night bliss.

bologna in the night as she welcomes me into her arms by the station. i was a bit cold to her, so didn't honour her with many pictures - mainly bc i was pissed it was late. we'd wasted 1hr into traffic, so my afternoon there ended up being...you'll see, you'll see.

viaduct views becsuse we are on our way to bologna! i really cant wait to give you the most significant views from a city that left an indelebile mark on me - starting from the murky canals, the snakelike roads and the dotted hills that led my way there.

i know i'm super late, but i'm still excited to show these details from our evening at this chestnut country festival. see what a moment of community looks like in a wee italian town - from the lens of a tourist on his first visit despite coming here every year.

today we held our celebration in the main square for transgender day of remembrance. it was a heartwrenching, extremely hard moment to go through.
but we are here, surviving.
the light of our flame is alive, guiding us to places unseen.

some of my favourite things that i caught in my lenses when the fog let go of them.
a few orangy trees, the road hard-curbing (pure dizziness-motion-sickness), the crossway to rifugio conserva, & some mountain views. each time i'm here my captures aim to channel section 25 - hilltop vibes.

evening🕯
a brief stop for coffee at the bar of our beloved moutain hotel, emerging from the high verdance.
while I wonder how many cars ever passed on that long line of asphalt, i'll reassure you: your fave cryptid swapped camo w/ plain green later.

here's what the forest looks like if you stare at it from the northern end of the lake.
we took some good time there, just to observe, watching some other visitors getting engulfed in the ghostly white - powerless humans versus the great annihilating fog.

evening!🕯
on the sirino day trip, it was like everything coincided for a second, and a story formed before my eyes.
here's the shots - like polaroids, a moodboard for a tv serie that your vcr couldn't wait to get the tape stuck for.
a sharply cut slice of americana eerieness, but made in basilicata.

so sorry for being quite the disappearing act these days. ive been feeling pretty indecisive as to whether i should show you pictures of bologna or continuing my red lake/sirino series. here's some views of lake laudemio resting still below the red leaves.

here's some pictures of johnny marr from his glorious last set of this tour. i felt incredibly lucky to be in his company this friday. he was all smiles, thanked us a hundred times for being there as fans, as a great crowd. totally shockwaved.

evening!🕯
brief pause in our almost-americana to show some marvel skies from the other day. i left for bologna to see johnny marr the morning after.
i just couldn't stop thinking how electrifying were these clouds gliding on water, and the moon flaring them with her light.

the pics from yesterday were the view at the end of a tough hi-inclination trail; after stumbling at every step going up, and almost slipping to our demise going down, we called it quits & went for lunch. here's some pics of it & the small clearing around it.

might be i just finished an ep of the x-files, but there's something echoing of fall-time americana in these views that's almost disquieting.
would expect to see aircrafts never seen before flying past among the fog, & getting mobbed by the army thereafter.

billy shrapnel's spooky season time has begun! a few shots of the foliage blushing as the fog comes by for a brief visit - invading & leaving in a matter of seconds, then repeat.
the fog where you are whispers: thank you for your love on my latest art 🧡

this hallowe’en the door between our worlds has opened, and brought me a piece from my past, for me to twist & tear .
messrs @lespattinson.bsky.social and @willsergeant.com along with ian mcculloch glare at your ghostly soul from the dark dungeons at eric’s, waiting for voodoo billy to set fire.

a very late post tonight, hoping to enthrall/entice your eyes with a teaser from the nexterpiece, made w/ love by yours truly. i haven't been delving a lot into properly made fan-art, mostly because i dont get enough time on the device, but also cos I feel my spot's been brilliantly taken.

evening ! 🕯
have been recovering from a slight bit of feverish illness so i collapsed before posting time yesterday, but here we are!
some more romantic views of the garganic coastline. a dreamhouse sat behind us on the viewpoint and i thought, how lucky to start the day with.such a view!

evening🕯
we are nearing the end of our time travel back to the gargano, so i'd love to present you with the coastal gift the adriatic sea offers to any visitor coming in from the south. a viewpoint, a tower dedicated to st.felix, and marine blues taking over your eyes and senses.

evening! 🕯
here's a few games of lines in perspective, taken pre-lunch on the beach.
taking this occasion to gather all this nostalgic warmth and convert into words significant enough to express how glad I am to know you all.
under the big blue sky i am real and alive!
