Devil’s tear
Devil’s Tear is few meters away from Dream Beach. I spent the day by myself, on the scooter, exploring the island and even if I started to want to speak with somebody, I felt grateful for this extra time of loneliness on the top of the cliff, watching the rageous ocean kissing the shaped rocks.

Fireworks were illuminating the sky and my cold smoky breath was blurring the stars behind my partner’s head as I looked up at him.
