We’ve all heard the cliché, “a picture tells a thousand words”, but there is real value in using images to promote thoughts. Images help us learn, images grab attention, images explain tough concepts, and inspire.
We are very visual creatures. A large percentage of the human brain dedicates itself to visual processing.
Our love of images lies with our cognition and ability to pay attention. Images are able to grab our attention easily, we are immediately drawn to them. Think about this my site, for example: did you look at the words first, or the image?
We process images at an alarming speed. When we see a picture, we analyse it within a very short snippet of time, knowing the meaning and scenario within it immediately.

CITIES AND VILLAGES ON THE ITALIAN ADRIATIC COAST
Molise stretchs from the Apennine mountains to the Adriatic coast, between the Trigno and Fortone rivers. While the landscape is mainly mountainous, the region is divided in a coastal area, called low Molise, and a hilly area, called high Molise. The region is dominated by the Meta mountains (2241 meters) and the Matese Mountains, in which the highest mountains are Miletto and Muria. The 38 kilometer-long Adriatic coast is flat and sandy, with the exception of Termoli headland.
