The more I stay here at this farm in Italy the more I thank myself for that choice. Have a look at my bedroom view:
Not too bad right? So on this beautiful day I decide to "Carpe Diem" and leave my place behind to explore the area walking:
It already seems to be a fruitful choice:
And a nice walk in this green heaven:
Part of this route offers a lovely view like this:
Feel free to caption this "The Arch of Green Triumph":
Here's another one, handmade, which frames my picture in this lovely way:
The green heaven goes on:
Funny to see that some trees have bare roots out of the ground as if they try to escape:
This is where the green heaven gives its place to the local village named Quero though some plants like the following show impressive resistance to the concrete dictatorhip:
And rightly so, it's got no sidewalk and it's gross:
I take the first road uphill which I can't picture without my shadow photobombing it:
If I was in charge I wouldn't paint the barriers in this rust colour but I want to believe that that's the most rust proof they had available:
I prefer the view without it anyway:
I don't know if you can tell by the trees but it's a super windy day:
The view is still superb though:
I continue walking up with noise wind parallel to
this "rusty" brown barrier:
And when this barrier "breaks", it allows views like this:
The local forest is pretty dense:
Though some trees are about to fall and block the road anytime soon, hopefully while no one is passing by:
No surprise that there's landslides here too:
Hence this metal net:
The view remains gorgeous:
The risk for the local drivers not as gorgeous though in the absence of a barrier:
Even worse, the road becomes narrow as a funnel:
Interesting to watch the layering on this rock formation regardless if you're a geologist or not:
Scenic route nevertheless, at least while they're no traffic:
Everybody can see this gap in the barrier:
Not everybody would notice the rock missing on the opposite side though:
Now you can imagine what happened here sometime ago 😉
Tight yet scenic route:
That huge pillar behind those trees looks like a six handed gigantic robot:
I can't figure out what they cultivate down there:
Hmmm so the "strada" is "priva"? Really?
This is the first break of barrier I see that has stairs:
Who knows when it was the last time this thing was walked:
That drain leads the water under the street:
Stupidly enough people through shit in here:
That "six handed robot" from one more angle:
One more barrier break:
With its own set of stairs:
Can't have enough of this view:
At least as long as these trees stay in place and don't fall on my head:
At this point it becomes clear that there's no shortcut to make it to a hilltop, instead I'd have to walk at least as much on this road and all the way back so I decide to quit this route and go back to the village to seek another one.
Stay tuned cause there's (even) more interesting stuff waiting for me!
See you on the next one 😉
