SPRING WORKSHOP IN THE GRAN SASSO AND MONTI DELLA LAGA NATIONAL PARK JUNE 2025
After having explored the Monti della Laga far and wide, I decided to share with you these places that I think are fantastic, places where you can regenerate your body and mind. In spring the dense woods of the Laga come back to life, the streams abound with water and the waterfalls are a real spectacle to behold, a paradise that deserves to be seen and photographed. The main theme of this workshop concerns waterfalls, magical places set in the rich vegetation that is created in spring, breaking the silence of the forest with their roar. They are places that I am very attached to, I have visited them in all seasons and now I want to share them with all those who are interested in photographing and above all respecting nature.
In addition to taking care of the waterfalls, the following day we will go to the twisted beech forest, a characteristic place, among prairies, streams and diabetes and beech woods, where the fog makes one of the most beautiful places in the whole area even more magical and gloomy. . These are numerous curved beech trees, both young and centuries-old, which present this extraordinary characteristic. In this mysterious place, we can find numerous beech trees, some of which are of notable beauty. In this spot we can find different compositions, to try to bring out a photo with the most impact possible.
