October 2020, part 2

Here is the second part of my last October as promised. Today’s photos are from two mega trips as a reminder that I must just go.

To think about it, October was the last month when we could have any amount of fun out of our municipality for more or less half a year! So it clearly deserves two posts for my Calendar 2020.

In the first twenty photos last week there were all other days, today just two: the last getaway with Flavia (until this June!) when we visited Farnese, a waterfall and a farm, and the Last Day I Saw Something New (TM) for half a year and it was the wonderful castle town Torre Alfina.

• 

  Like Flavia, I befriended a cat while waiting for her in Farnese, or at least tried to.

• 

  One of the last cappuccinos for half a year. This bag is rather brilliant but sadly falling apart.

• 

  The Farnese Cathedral ceiling.

• 

  A passage opposite the Cathedral with Flavia. I miss her. She is in Iraq.

• 

  Another Farnese passage. It seems like an entrance to another world.

• 

  When I see a really splendid door, I wish to caress it. Photo: Flavia.

• 

  The best knockers I have ever seen.

• 

  When we walked to a waterfall, Flavia found a friend.

• 

  Here it is. Cascate del Salabrone.

• 

  The welcoming committee to a farm.

• 

  The light was the best caressing kind.

• 

  Such a happy crowd. And donkeys, horses, dogs… A wonderful visit.

• 

  Trip no. 2. Only bestia and I this time. First it was Capodimonte on Lake Bolsena from afar.

• 

  As I passed this house, a hawk or similar flew by, thought of landing but saw us and reconsidered. Sister said later: “Buy this house!”

• 

  I saw this view while driving, stopped the car and returned by foot to the spot to take this photo.

• 

  Torre Alfina and its castle. Laundry and all.

• 

  My old age goal.

• 

  Bestia is such a tourist.

• 

  The best light when I was leaving.

• 

  Goodbye, world, for half a year. Galleries for the next six months will be rather plainer.
