Passo d'acera

A little snow trekking around my car: M. & A. were waiting...

A memorable season

It’s spring, but Apennines continue to receive snowfalls...

Bean bag

The snow is melting away. It still remains above the 1600 m asl, but on prairies something is changing and small colored spots here and there appear. It’s time to put out the bean bag...

Coscerno wilderness

Wonderful winter atmosphere, for a while I thought I am in the Yucon, with Jack and all the rest...

Mt. Coscerno

Weather forecasts called for snowfall so it was time to meet the beech trees of the majestic Mt. Coscerno

Winter Workshop II

Second post from the wonderful world of the frozen Apennine...

2009 First track

The first track of 2009 was from Umbrian valley to San Paterniano hermitage. Special guest of this walk was my friend Gabriele and his nokia N82. The view below the serpentine mountain road was a dizzy scenery, whereas up to the mountain there was a frozen atmosphere. Our path through the woods was iced up and the majority of the walk takes place on very difficult ground and a slide is around the corner!

Wishing you a Happy New Year

Finally I did it! I walked through the snow in the SIC IT5210047 (Serano-Brunette mountains) for about 7 km. It was a very cold morning, some degrees under 0 °C, but I couldn't miss this opportunity: more than 20 mm of snow fell in Pettino valley. When I woke up, weather was nice and in site lights were great. This is the result and I hope that a fresh breeze travels across the net and carries to all of you a lucky and wonderful 2009.

Neve

Acqua. Non capita spesso, ma questa notte è scesa nella sua forma più romantica. Con guanti e cappello ho colto l'occasione per fare una soffice passeggiata sotto un tiepido sole. Che meraviglia per i miei occhi!
