A picture I took in my previous home. A bunch of yellow roses, grown nearby the house wall (it was an old-style house with walls made by giant rocks). I like flowers, and roses in particular: beside the classical red roses, there are lots of other colours which are very beautiful too.

nowadays people doesn’t seem to be interested anymore in looking at the natureworks, at our world. I find this still a very important and also very relaxing activity to do while walking outside.

In the photo above you can admire a closeup of a giant bilberries plant I found last week of august, while taking a short walk in the wood nearby our house (in Taro Valley, Italy). The bilberries usually grow above 800-900m on the sea level, but we never saw such big ones before!! Of course they couldn’t escape us, and I must admit they tasted good.

It’s really cool, walking in peace in wonderful woods, and find along the path such beautiful surprises. Tasting the nature’s food like men used to do time ago, without any OGM or import/export from suspicious countries…

Took this picture while I was on a short trip in the natural park of “Cinque Terre”, in the italian region of Liguria. It is at the same time quite fun and bizarre, because of the skull in center of the icon above what is a church entrance! yes exactly, that is a closeup of a church entrance in a small town (I forgot the name, not sure if was Monterosso or Manarola).

I don’t know latin well but from what I can understand the text says something like “guild of prayers and deaths”! very scary…!

So we decided to take a day off, to explore some mountains nearby. Once again our starting point was “Passo della Cappelletta”, that connects Emilia Romagna with Liguria.

Once we arrived there, the view was incredible… I have no words to describe it, and I hope that the photos can at least give you a vague idea of what beautiful day it was. We took the official path that leads to Mount Gottero, even if we didn’t manage to reach the top because of time constraints.

Of course the cows aren’t missing even this time. They add a “bavarian” touch to the landscape. If I didn’t know, I could even be thinking to be really in Austria or Bavary. We even met another group of escursionists during our trip, very unusual for those places.

Just before heading back home I have time to take some funny pictures… a really weird shaped tree. It seems almost an enormous mouth, with a nose!
