EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Agence France-Presse (AFP), we are transported to the picturesque village of Castelluccio in Italy's Umbria region. The image captures a tourist strolling along a road, surrounded by breathtaking scenery on July 8,2017. What makes this moment even more remarkable is the backstory behind it. In October 2016, an earthquake struck the area, causing significant damage and closing off access to Castelluccio. However, after months of restoration work and perseverance, the road leading to this charming village was finally reopened for tourists. The timing couldn't have been more perfect as visitors were now able to witness something truly extraordinary – the blooming of lentils. This annual natural phenomenon transforms the landscape into a vibrant patchwork of colors as fields burst with delicate flowers. As we gaze at this photograph, we can almost feel ourselves walking alongside that fortunate tourist, immersing ourselves in the beauty that surrounds us. The rolling hills painted with hues of green and purple create a scene straight out of a postcard. This image serves as a reminder not only of nature's resilience but also our own ability to rebuild and find joy amidst adversity. It encapsulates hope and renewal while showcasing Italy's enduring spirit – one that continues to draw travelers from around the world eager to experience its timeless charm firsthand.
