Christmas on Capri

Just another day spent enjoying the best of Italy!

Capri is a remote island destination where movie stars go for a breath of vacation air. On Christmas it was nothing too special, but absolutely the most uplifting experience I’ve had in awhile. From just walking around the island witnessing beautiful landscapes and blue water grottos, I was happy to be there. Fortunately, when the weather warms up the island is flooded with tourists but my visit was enjoyed in peace. I walked around in the sun and managed to get some amazing pictures. During my holiday away from home, it was hard to compare Christmas at home versus being on an island experiencing something new with beautiful weather.

    Tony your site is great! lots of great pics. I was going to Europe for 3 weeks and was looking for pics of Capri and your site showed up. Your pics inspired me to visit more places. Of them all Capri was my favorite. Check out my site. I went to Anacapri and rode a chairlift to the top of Mount Solaro and visited the Grotta Azzurra. These places were great and if you have the chance to return, I highly recommend you check out that side of the island.

    hi, I am working on an academic textbook about fascism and modernism. The author would really like to use on of your pics on Capri )the villa on the headland). We don’t have much budget though we would credit you. Any chance we could come to an agreement?
