Peace in solitude.

Between Christmas and New Year, this walking time lies like a slow, steady breath. From Brenner / Brennero, the route unfolds in stages through wintery heights, across open slopes and shaded woodland, leading into Bolzano, a city in the northern Italian province of South Tyrol.

Near Bolzano, the walking grows quieter. A way of moving, carried by the ground beneath my feet and by the feeling of being part of this winter order, if only for a while.

Thoughts recede into the background, in favor of nature.

I love this Yule time, this in-between state of the years - when darkness still holds and nature turns, almost imperceptibly, toward the light.

Dusking is a trend aimed at helping people switch off at the end of the day. How does it work?

Events where people sit down and watch the sun go down are becoming popular in the Netherlands.

Sunrise sunsets are always intriguing.
