Bye bye 2019
Last sunset of the year. The temperature is dropping quickly. The ice on the lake is thickening and the lake send strange sounds of bubbling water and ice cracking for long distances and with echos that travel the hills. At least one photo a day
Walk
There are few hours of day light in December in Finland. That is why during the holidays it is important to take advantage of those few hours and go tor a walk. At least one photo a day
Winter landscape in Niinikumpu / 6
People are moving to towns. In the countryside the population falls. There are several houses which are now empty along the 6km look I have been walking. I imagine that years ago a large family might have lived here. They might have sat together in the living/dining rooms during the long winter nights.

We are in Cremona, in the north of Italy. It’s […]
La giacca rossa – The red jacket
Il duomo di Crema è spoglio. L’atmosfera è quella di una chiesa protestante. Tutti dentro alcuni fedeli sono seduti ai vecchi banconi pet pregare o, semplicemente, pensare. Una signora con una bella giacca rossa legge il libretto delle preghiere. C’è silenzio. Si sente solo il rumore metallico delle monete delle offerte per le candele per i santi.
