Signs of man on nature
Man fails to respect the sacredness of nature and leaves unnecessary traces, as on the bark of a birch tree seen at Gola di lago in autumn
I will remember this tree, straight and powerful. Autumn is vertical and transcendent. It prepares us for humility, persuades us to hide, It is the season closest to the spirit. Autumn is poignant and tragic in its substance, and lasts a long time, it is the twilight of life ... before the cyclical rebirth of nature. Again the landscape is first over man. But on that tree the blue track remains as a sign of a maneuverable world. A technical drawing. Or, perhaps, I am still wrong.
