Description | Carrara mountains from the sea-coast, Tuscany, Italy |
Details |
"the sand dunes stretch for miles between the sea and a low wood of stone-pines, with the Carrara hills descending from their glittering pinnacles by long lines to the headlands of the Spezzian Gulf. The immeasurable distance was all painted in sky blue and amethist, then came the golden green of the dwarf firs; then the dry yellow in the grasses of the dunes; and then the many-tinted sea with the surf tossed up against the furthest cliffs." - J. A. Symonds.
