From the crisp, snow clad mountains to vivid bright blue rivers, these breath-taking photographs capture the incredible beauty of various landscapes across France and Italy. Ranging from the morning sunrise to the night sky, the images catch these calm and tranquil settings in all their glory. Taken by photographer Alessio Andreani, 24, they depict the different moods for each shot, alternating from the bright and cheery greenery of Italy, to the dark and still rivers of France. The wonderful shots, taken throughout 2012, also manage to display the changing colours of the mountains and lakes, from oranges to yellows and purples to blues.….
