Empty but still so full.

Master photographer Massimo Listri takes pictures of amazing famous landmarks - when they are completely empty. He says his photographs are  "an expression of tranquility and silence in this chaotic society." - and he gives us the opportunity to enjoy the usual touristy places, as they are. I am blown away by the beauty and tranquility in these pictures.

  5. You know what? I think spaces are never empty... not really.

    Their soul remain and linger, even years after no one visits or stays there.

    And the soul is what these amazing pictures portraits caught - some are enchanting, others charming and other with hints of creepy (Versailles, don't know why, is one of the later for me... even full of people, something is not quite "right" and "peaceful" there... maybe it isn't supposed to be)

    Thank you for granting the privilege of getting to know Massimo Listri (amazing!) Work and for the privilege of "going through" those spaces all "alone" :posh:.

    Love,
    Teresa
