Nature is the largest category of Cepolina photo site. Clouds fly in the sky; low level clouds are soft like pillows and fascinating like dreams. Then it rains; water falls down onto the mountains, it creates rivers and flows to the sea.
The sun, our warm source of life, is really romantic shining over the sea at sunset. The wind, blowing and shaking the sea surface, creates big waves that run towards the beach. The wind, the rain and the ice break the stones and mountains become slowly hills.

Both the tall and exotic palms, and the elegant chicas are arecaceae trees. Pinaceae trees are another wide family of trees; pinus pinaster and larches are just two examples.
