Exploring Marche | part two

This is part two of the series of photographs I shot in Marche, Italy. In the first post about this beautiful part of Italy I've written some more about why I went there and the location of Marche, you can read it here.

The photos I share today are all shot on the second day of the trip, when we went to see the gorgeous towns Arcevia, Serra San Quirico and Sassoferrato. The people seemed to know exactly that we were coming to visit their towns, as many people were welcoming us from their door steps and shops. We even got to meet the mayors of Arcevia and Mergo, isn't that great?! 

In the afternoon we went on a guided tour at the ruins of Sentinum, an ancient city from the Roman age, close to Sassoferrato. So fascinating to walk on the cobbled stones with traces of the horse carts, and realising there had been a city dating back to the Roman Empire. Definitely another highlight of the trip! 

An afternoon with the Lubitel

On a beautiful afternoon in March we took the vintage Lubitel camera for a walk. We went to the blossom park, a 20 minute bike ride away from our home. This blossom park is located in The Amsterdam Forest, and is an important park for the Japanese community in Amsterdam. Every year they have ceremonial festivities amongst the cherry trees, just like in their home country when the 'sakura' is blossoming. People are gathering with friends or family to enjoy the beauty of the cherry blossoms while having a picnic, called 'hanami' in Japanese.

Every year when the winter season is coming to an end we look forward to visit this park when the trees are starting to blossom, because then we know spring is almost here.
