Nature is the most amazing painter...

My dear readers, I had given you a sneak peek into this beautiful historic building in the city centre of Turin... Well, it is a school! I have started teaching here :) For those of you who didn't already know, I'm a language teacher besides being an artist and jewelry designer :) Hope you enjoy these beautiful interiors!

A WARM OASIS IN THE MOUNTAINS


There are many lovely mountain huts in the Alps. A mountain hut (also known as Alpine hut, mountain shelter or refuge) is a building located in the mountains intended to provide food and shelter to mountaineersclimbers and hikers. Some of them are located in remote areas and can only be reached by long hikes, and these are usually very basic, while others are more like Alpine lodges and they can be quite comfortable. I was at this lovely refuge at 1,350 m on Sunday, had toasts there, and the home made cake with nuts, almonds and chestnut cream was simply delicious!



Beautiful wooden interiors with a touch of the Himalayas...




A magical oasis of warmth and light in the dark night of the mountains...
