"Sexy" like romantic, seductive intimate sexy....That's Matera, Italy from my perspective. Come see for yourself. The sand stone cave walls, the cobblestone alleys, and hand carved wooden doors. For me, words don't flow as natural as when my finger clicks the shutter. I will not gush about the scenery! I'm positive I already did that in these photos provided. However, I will tell you about some memories of my travels!
Skip the airport and traveling part and we will fast forward to that first morning waking up in my cave. Yes, that's right, a cave dwelling! Talk about romance, you can put candles in the walls!
When I stepped outside that first morning, this was my view! This sexy view is my definition of Classic Itlay! I just never imagined I would be the one behind the lens!
After I gathered my mother and sister and we explored the surrounding area. I turned the corner to continue up this alley when not only did the view stop me in my tracks, but I could hear someone practicing a violin. I felt like I was in a movie. And the universe knew the scene would be that much better with music filling the air. Echoing off these walls, was a low steady melody, played passionately by someone I will never know.
We continued our stroll, twisting and climbing the cobblestone streets and found ourselves at a cafe with the most beautiful waitress. From her black leather dress and boots, to her make-up and jewelry, she was like a new age version of some classic Italian Goddess. Looking back, I wish I had had the nerve to take her portrait, but instead I took some of myself!
As night fell on Matera, in my heels and fancy dress I stumbled up the cobblestone steps next to my cave and the following photographs are all I have left to tell you about Matera, Italy.
