Let's go back to India...:)

Stonehenge taken from the roadside and shot through the fence hence the shadows in the corners

This was the last glimpse back over the landscape hiked on the last Saturday, on the ancient Valeriana road that runs alongside Lake Iseo and up to the mountains, and to be completed in several stages.

Cold, sun then clouds, and many beauty.

 

Comincio dalla fine ... questo l'ultimo colpo d'occhio a ritroso sul paesaggio percorso sabato, da Tassano a Vesto Gandone sulla antica strada Valeriana, che attraversa magnifici uliveti e borghi antichi che guardano il lago d'Iseo e Montisola.

Questo antico cammino prevede 9 tappe da Brescia sino a Edolo e poi con una ulteriore tappa a scelta per raggiungere Tirano oppure Ponte di Legno.

Freddo, sole poi nuvole, e tanta bellezza.
