Aschi "Freestone"'s photos

Macro Monday a leaf from my lemon tree which will soon go into hibernation As soon as the leaves fall from the trees again in all colors and dew covers the ground in the morning, autumn has arrived and summer is relegated to hibernation. In autumn, trees and other plants lose their leaves, the increasingly shorter days and cooler temperatures trigger an aging process. The green leaves in summer provide plants with glucose and oxygen, which they need. When the green color disappears, the other color pigments that were previously covered by chlorophyll appear: Yellow, red and brown dominate the autumn color spectrum.

We continue towards Gorniglia over various bridge constructions and past some delicacies which grow here and also the animal world shows its sleepy side ;-) last but not least a look at the nested, colorful houses of Gorniglia

the journey in the 5 Terre continues La via dell'Amore or the path of love is a footpath with a view of the sea, it connects the villages of Riomaggiore and Manarola. In its current state, the path can not be walked, a repair is scheduled for 2023. The path would be one of the main tourist attractions in the region and an integral part of the Cinque Terre National Park, a World Heritage Site.

I am Back ;-) Take time to dream, that is the way to the stars. Take time to reflect, that is the source of clarity. Take time to laugh, that is the music of the soul. Take time to live, that is the richness of life. Take time to be kind, that is the gateway to happiness. Quote from Alexander Herzen Now that I'm more or less back on my feet again and just want to slowly pick up speed like in the picture, I'm also reporting back to my Ip friends here with the Indian proverb: The smile you send out returns to you.

Every morning it rises again to bring warmth to the world from east to west.

For World Photo Day I can contribute a rarity I own a Kodak Brownie No.2 The first 120 roll film camera from Kodak in 1901. 120 roll film is the most successful roll film format and has now been produced for over 100 years! Kodak discontinued the production of 120 roll film cameras in the mid-1930s. A homage to the beginnings of photography

HBM in a secluded spot by the water I wish you all a pleasant good start to the new week

what fascinates me always and everywhere are the rock formations with all their artistic shapes, as these two pictures show them

La via dell'Amore or the path of love is a pedestrian path overlooking the sea, a little over a kilometre long, connecting the villages of Riomaggiore and Manarola. It is one of the sections of the Sentiero Azzurro, the most popular hiking trail in the Cinque Terre National Park. The name of the path comes from the fact that it provided a simple and protected meeting place for young lovers living in the two small towns in the mountainous landscape. The path is one of the most important tourist attractions in the region and an essential part of the Cinque Terre National Park, which is a World Heritage Site.

HFF the Via del Amore is secured in many places with a fence or railings to bring all the tourists safely to their destination. wish you a pleasant and healthy weekend

two pictures which illustrate a little how steep the area around the villages is here

a special transport facility is available in the steep vineyards here a monorail with which the vine-growers can do their work a little easier

On stony paths we descend to Riomaggiore. An idyllic holiday resort on the Italian Riviera, Riomaggiore offers beautiful coastal scenery, secluded bays, extensive vineyards, olive groves and unspoilt nature.
