Images from Abruzzo by Valter Carapellese

Valter was a lover of nature, of wildlife, the Majella, Gran Sasso and Sirente, lakes, clouds and blue skies. It's nice to think of him now wandering as a cloud with his best friend, his camera, among waterfalls, wolves and chamois, rocks and hermitages, along rugged paths and ancient tratturi - ready to wait for hours for the right light, the special moment to catch in its uniqueness and beauty.
