On the Shore
The coast and even the last strip of land before the sea, the shore, is today one of the places where human presence is of greater density. From a time not too long ago but with a growing intensity and speed, people and their activities have moved towards the sea. Even the desire of people in search of health, refreshment and pleasure led to the construction of kilometres of new buildings as well as roads, resulting in traffic and a general unrest during the summer.
However the shores have remained places of the imagination. When we are there, the view of the open sea reminds us that we can always look the other way, that something can exist which is different from the ordinary. We therefore remain and walk along the shore looking for wonders and the pleasure which this last space of freedom can give to us.
