The warm light of the low sun illuminates a wintry Alpine landscape, with the long shadows cast by the larch trees on the snow. The sky is blue, and the mountain peaks in the background are shrouded in a light mist.

Black and white image of a snail perched on the top of a thistle. The shot is close-up, with the background blurred. The snail has a well-defined spiral shell with light and dark bands, and the thistle has an intricate pattern of sharp spines radiating outward.

An old tram with Arabic writing advertising a well-known restaurant in the city. In Milan, tram track changes are mostly automatic, although in specific or emergency cases, operators use a metal rod to direct the switch. In the photo, the driver has stepped out onto the street to perform this operation.

You're invited by Smoky and I to drink a Génépy (herbal liqueur for cold climates 😇)
Ciao!

Snow-capped mountains and the blue sky can be seen through the artistically decorated glass of two windows. The Monte Rosa Massif is the largest mountain massif in the Alps along the watershed between Italy and Switzerland.

The ideal of freedom is a creation of every spirit; it is an unforgivable error to consider freedom from a historicist, instrumental, and utilitarian perspective. Freedom is an eternal and absolute value.
[Carlo Rosselli 1899-1937]

...The sky belongs to all eyes, and each eye, if it wants, can take in the entire moon, the stars, the sun.
Every eye takes in everything and nothing is ever missing: he who looks at the sky last finds it no less brilliant...

The light of dawn illuminates the clouds above Aosta. In the foreground, the slate roofs of the historic center, and in the background, the cathedral with its two bell towers and the snow-capped mountains. The lines are taken from the poem "The Sky Belongs to Everyone" by Gianni Rodari, an Italian writer and educator.

Larches, now stripped of their needles, have grown at high altitude. The landscape is wintry, with snow, mountains, and a few other groups of trees.

Naviglio Grande in Milan. The Navigli are a system of navigable and irrigation canals that connected Milan to the Ticino, Adda, and Po rivers. Love locks are often hung on the bridges spanning the canals, like the one in the foreground. The quote is from a 1974 song by Memo Remigi: 🎶 If only you knew how strange it is to feel in love in Milan 🎶

Thanks so much, Susan. A place full of beauty and history.
For you, 'Historia', 1897, by Edmond Van Hove, an artist from Bruges.
The painting depicts a woman in Renaissance dress with a laurel wreath. She is examining an ancient document with a magnifying glass.

😄 Sometimes, the Salassi move from their territories to meet with other tribes, exchanging objects and animal skins. At the end of the negotiations, we all eat together at a large table 🍽

A tree in the historic center of Bruges, Flanders. The tree is leafless, its branches reaching up into the blue sky. On the left is the Church of Our Lady (Onze-Lieve-Vrouwekerk), and on the right are brick houses and towers.

It's become clear what these "Masters" have done to our planet and its organic life.
I believe life on Earth has little chance of surviving if women remain passive.

In a snowy landscape, the light of dawn filters through the coniferous forest. The sky is blue, and the shadows of the trees are cast on the snow.

I go to the mountains more for the fear of not living than for the fear of dying.

True, it's a very small and inhospitable land, but our ancestors managed to make it fairytale-like. Thanks for appreciating it, Jen; if you come here, you're invited to go sledding with my BFF 😁
