After a long afternoon rushing to Villa Jovis on the Isle of Capri, this was the scene that greeted us as we sat on the docks of Capri's harbor to await our ferry back to Sorrento. Despite the new blisters I could feel, there was a complete feeling of contentment. I loved the dusk skies over the peaks and the city lights reflecting in the dark water. I had to capture a photo of this moment.

The waters very much reminded me of a painting which is how this piece of textured photo art was born. I was intent to create a piece that felt as magical as my memory of this fabled island where ancient Roman emperors spent their days and celebrities of our own era visit. And although I love people watching as much as the next person, I think that magic was enhanced by visiting in the winter and being one of a small handful of tourists amongst the people who call Capri home.
