Golden autumn leaves in October 2018. The season is in full swing, rustic colours are all around and when the sun shines and the sky is blue - the colours are only enhanced.
The Rustic Chophouse has decided to jump in on the lunch crowd and started doing lunch now. This has been a really nice evening steak house, got to see what lunch is one day.
A moment's respite from the rest of the world.

"Let your smile of happiness
Rustic peace serenely stress:
Home to love and heart to pray--
Thank your God for every day."

Fermo e Rustico
Cusago è un comune italiano di 4 012 abitanti della città metropolitana di Milano.
Le prime tracce storiche presenti sul territorio di Cusago, risalgono al III-II millennio prima di Cristo e questo lo si può desumere dal ritrovamento di un'ascia di pietra rinvenuta nel 1943 in località Cascina Felice, presso il bosco di Cusago.
Luoghi di interesse pubblico sono la Chiesa Parrocchiale dei Santi Fermo e Rustico, fatta costruire da San Carlo Borromeo nel 1580 e il Castello Visconteo costruito su volere di Bernabò Visconti tra gli 1360 e il 1369, erigendolo sopra quanto rimaneva di una fortificazione longobarda.
Nel corso della peste del 1398 il castello divenne un rifugio dal morbo fino a quando fu trasformato in lazzaretto. La sua funzione di villa di campagna signorile, per caccia, feste e luogo d'incontro con amanti venne ripristinata da Ludovico il Moro, che infine la donò a Beatrice d'Este sua moglie. La proprietà poi passò a Lucia Marliani, un'amante di Ludovico. I cambi di proprietà proseguirono fino al conte Massimiliano Stampa e quindi alla di lui famiglia Casati-Stampa di Soncino.
Nel 1973, il castello, ormai da tempo in decadenza e trasformato in una grande cascina agricola abitata da circa trenta famiglie, assieme ai terreni circostanti venne acquistato da Silvio Berlusconi che, tramite Edilnord, costruì su alcuni appezzamenti il quartiere "Milano Visconti". Il castello, ormai malridotto, fu quindi venduto a una società formata da un gruppo di imprenditori "Il Castello di Cusago s.r.l" nel 2003 con l'ipotesi di farne una scuola floro vivaistica legata al Parco agricolo Sud Milano, progetto sfumato per le difficoltà riscontrate.
A tutt'oggi il castello, che permane in uno stato di grave abbandono, rimane proprietà privata della società "Il Castello di Cusago s.r.l."

Believe it or not this used to be the main highway to Kaiteriteri although the bridge was obviously wider then 😉
The Pipo River and Its Surroundings in Tierra del Fuego National Park
In Tierra del Fuego National Park, near Ushuaia —known as the southernmost city in the world—, the Pipo River winds through forests that burst into vibrant colors during autumn. The characteristic trees of this sub-Antarctic region, such as the lenga (Nothofagus pumilio), guindo (Nothofagus betuloides), and ñire (Nothofagus antarctica), stand out for their autumn foliage, displaying shades of golden yellow, bright orange, and deep red. Fallen leaves cover the ground like a multicolored carpet, contrasting with the grayish tones of the mountains and the ever-changing Patagonian sky.
The Pipo River, with its cold and transparent waters, is a central feature of this landscape. After flowing through valleys and skirting ancient trees, its course narrows between rocks covered in green moss until, surprisingly, the river disappears into the mountain. In this area, the water rushes forcefully through narrow passages between rocky walls, creating a unique visual and auditory experience. The roar of the river echoing through the gorges blends with the crunch of dry leaves and the sound of wind rustling through the branches of the lenga, guindo, and ñire trees.
This natural environment near Ushuaia exemplifies the ephemeral beauty of autumn, where life cycles prepare for winter. The interaction between the river, which shapes the terrain with its constant flow, and the forests of lenga, guindo, and ñire creates a setting where geography and vegetation combine to form a singular and memorable landscape.

El Río Pipo y su entorno en el Parque Nacional Tierra del Fuego
En el Parque Nacional Tierra del Fuego, cerca de Ushuaia —conocida como la ciudad más austral del mundo—, el Río Pipo fluye sinuoso entre bosques que, durante el otoño, se cubren de colores intensos. Los árboles característicos de esta zona subantártica, como la lenga (Nothofagus pumilio), el guindo (Nothofagus betuloides) y el ñire (Nothofagus antarctica), destacan por su follaje otoñal, que presenta tonos de amarillo dorado, naranja vibrante y rojo intenso. Las hojas caídas cubren el suelo formando una alfombra multicolor, en contraste con el tono grisáceo de las montañas y el cielo variable de la Patagonia.
El Río Pipo, de aguas frías y transparentes, forma parte fundamental de este paisaje. Tras atravesar valles y bordear árboles centenarios, su curso se reduce entre rocas cubiertas de musgo verde, hasta que, de manera sorprendente, el río se adentra en la montaña. En esta zona, el agua fluye con fuerza por estrechos pasajes entre paredes rocosas, creando un efecto visual y sonoro único. El rugido del río al pasar por estos desfiladeros se mezcla con el crujido de las hojas secas y el movimiento del viento entre las ramas de los árboles.
Este entorno natural cerca de Ushuaia ejemplifica la belleza efímera del otoño, donde los ciclos de la vida se preparan para el invierno. La interacción entre el río, que modela el terreno con su paso constante, y los bosques de lenga, guindo y ñire, ofrece un escenario donde la geografía y la vegetación se combinan para crear un paisaje singular y memorable.

This week's theme for Mosaic Montage Monday was Rustic. Looks like they are enjoying a Rustic setting! HMMM!
A rustic old medieval building with balcony, shuttered windows and a Madonna & Child shrine in the historic center of Rome, Italy.
As I said in a previous picture there is a rural nature to this part of the city and it is a bit less well developed than others. I hope the price of progress isn't losing places like this along the way. Note the extra large TV just dumped on the doorstep
Some rural rustic-ness out the back of Mangaweka. An old farm gate and fence with the snowy Ruahine Ranges in the far distance. Not sure what use the gate would be with the large tree behind it!
