A beautiful sunset

val taro sunset

I took this picture last autumn, while on a holiday trip in “Val di Taro”, a region of Italy nearby Liguria and Tuscany. I was outside walking in a wood nearby my hotel, and forgot about the time. All suddenly the sun went down and created for me this wonderful picture, which I promptly took with my digital camera, which I always carry it with me.

I’m really pleased about it and I consider one of my best pictures. I hope you’ll agree :)

Nature closeup

admin October 5th, 2007

Today decided to take a small walk in a public garden nearby, since was a very good day, sunny and warm considering the autumnal season. I started to look around me, the nature and its small details, so I decided to take some closeup pictures of small plants, like the ivy and the pine cone below:

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.

Lake of Castel dell’Alpi

admin September 28th, 2007

The small town of “Castel dell’Alpi” is located between Bologna and Florence, in the appennines, in the Comune of San Benedetto val di Sambro, counting about 4000 people.

It is an artificial lake, and it’s quite popular in the nearby area during the summer. It is possible to take short boat trips and do pic-nic on the fields nearby. It is easy to reach from Bologna, taking the highway and exiting in “Pian del Voglio”. We went there some years ago and was very crowded, hard even to find a parking place!

In the photo below you can see it, and in the distance the main bridge passing over it.
