Italy: Central Apennines

I took these photos earlier this month during my visit to the region of Molise in Central Italy, in the beautiful Apennine Mountains. I was visiting dear friends; hope to return many times.

Misty views and ancient ways,
Sun-drenched and shadow-splotched,
Mountain chains, rugged paths,
Journeys set adrift yet never born,
Early light until the birth of night.

Welcome to Isernia Province…

Doors of Italy: Power Portals

I’ve long held a fascination with doors as a photography subject. On my Instagram account I started a collection under the hashtag “#ktrap_doors” with over 500 doors I’ve captured from all over the world. Among my favorite locales in the world for “door hunting” are Uganda, Nepal and, of course, Italy. So I’m very happy to bring you this collection of doors from Venice and parts of the region of Italy known as Isernia. From the Venetian Lagoon to the Apennine Mountains, let’s turn the knob and step into the world of Italy’s classic portals…
