Nature is more than just plants and animals …
This is an album that contains galleries relating to every aspect of natural history — including: wildlife, wildflowers, trees, geology and geography.
Come closer… is an exposition of thirty fine art photographs that invites viewers to reconsider how they perceive some of the less-loved creatures and flowers that are all around us. Each image reveals elements of beauty and character that might normally be missed and which is only achievable by getting up close and personal. All the images were taken within the borough of Fivizzano in Tuscany – many of them in the photographer’s garden.
