Countryside road (Niinikumpu, Kitee)

The road goes in a circle for 6km. It touches birch forests and farm houses. It crosses small water streams which are now frozen. At times it seem the trees are making ways.

There is a strange foggy weather which is not common in this part of Finland. I ma in Karelia. There is snow on the ground but the temperature is mild. The houses are far from each other here in the countryside. I walk the 6km of the loop around the hill and see only a few cars passing by. The days are short and nature is on pause until the early signs of spring in March.

Temporale d’autunno – Autumn thunderstorm

Landscapes

Temporale d’autunno, Cremona 2019

Il clima sta cambiando e ce ne accorgiamo. Siamo a Cremona, nel nord d’Italia. È il 15 di Ottobre. Gli alberi sono verdi. La temperatura è di 21 gradi. È appena finito un temporale che sembrava un temporale estivo. La pioggia mi ha ricordato le piogge monsoniche che bagnavano di Dumaguete, nelle Filippine.

The climate is changing and we realize it. We are in Cremona, in the north of Italy. It’s October 15th. The trees are green. The temperature is 21 degrees. A thunderstorm just seemed like a summer storm. The rain reminded me of the monsoon rains of Dumaguete, in the Philippines.

La giacca rossa – The red jacket

Landscapes

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.

The Duomo of Crema is bare. The atmosphere is almost that of a Protestant church. Few people are sitting at old benched praying or simply thinking. A lady in a beautiful red jacket reads from the prayer book. There is silence. Only the clanging of the coins of the offerings for candles for saints can be heard.
