Scopello is a more “softer” location that most I visited. The drive up to the town is easy, a nice clean and well-organized parking area is within a few hundred steps of the town square.

Scopello is also a binary town, on the hand it is the traditional home of the Tuna business, and when the private beach area is open (it was not when I visited) you can tour the working part of the town.

The town hold so many beautiful scenic views, which for most is what one would want. For me I like the feeling, the visual feeling if town, not the forced touristic feeling but the raw actual life of the town, I tell people I seek the personality of the location, which is a combination of the visual, and structural energy that the town has to offer.

Visual One:

The drape – At first the door caught my eye, but in the end, it was the knot that ties the drape that is used when the door is open. The knot looks almost fake; the highlight makes the knot dimensional.

Two:

The wind: This is a silent statement that there is a wind in Scopello. When I first arrived the cloth hung straight, but within a few minutes as I walked the back streets, the wind which I did not see, sense or feel turned this nearly dry and wrinkle free tablecloth into a get the iron ready mess.

Three:

Pointing: As I left the alley on my way to the town restaurant ladened square, the dimensional point of the clothesline and the strong visual of the tablecloth said photograph me, which I did.

Four:

The window to nowhere. Just a simple piece of art, a window on a highly textured wall.

There are many more moments that the made the town softer, a sign, a water trough, screened window and hidden and open textures.
