travelling with my sketchbook and Laura

 

Det var en behaglig gång med ett täcke av mjuka barr på marken...

 It was a pleasant tunnel with a covering of soft needles on the ground...

travelling with my Moleskin sketchbook 2012

In Acciarole in the south of Italy sitting by a table sipping on my caffe latte and enjoying my gelato I wrote a new chapter in my novel, sometimes thinking about Mr Hemingway who visited this place as well maybe to be inspired to write "The Old Man and the Sea" .
So did I write about the magic of the sea, the mountains and the evershining sun?
No of course not. I wrote about my young heroine Laura sneaking into the black forest guided by yhe moonlight and the glowworms to find a snake sleeping under the branches of the old firs.
