The picture on the left side shows the sky above Villabassa yesterday afternoon, the right one shows the sky today. Between the clouds we can see the blue sky.

Devil time is coming soon

Only a few days left without fear, without being afraid of going outside, because then we will find the dangerous devils. People avoid going out of their houses and look curiously out from their windows.

The traditional pageants invite people to see the devils from a short distance. Here some important dates:

• 28th November 09 devil pageant in Colle in Val Casies
• 4th December 09 devil show in Sesto
• 7th December 09 devil pageants in Campo Tures e Dobbiaco
  

First snow has fallen

Normally the leaves fall earlier than the snow. But these pictures, made in Dobbiaco in the region of the three peaks, show us that this year it's contrary:

  

 
  

AUTUMN IT IS

Autumn it is

Foot sinking into green carpet’s moss
Natural earthly tender cross
Autumnal soul of the forests
Lingering sounds up the crests

Open wide bird’s prison cage
Finally free it hurridly escapes
Trees foliage slowly undresses
leaves into mud get pressed

Follow the winding road
Away of hunting crowd
Listen to nature’s silence
Free of human’s guidance

Riverbed serpentine overflows
Hush hush sound of crows
Mist swallows surroundings
Swirls the breeze in bindings

Shadowy sceneries autumnal
Such a magnificent proposal
Yellow orange brown and prune
Turning into a painter’s colored tune

Autumn it is
