December 2022

Here it is, my ever last monthly calendar post. The photos are getting fewer than time.

All things come to an end and my calendar series is doing just that. Last December will be the last month to be dealt with in this way, that is in twenty images. You see, this December I have yet to take a single photo.

Next week I shall choose one photo from each month to do the ultimate 2022 compilation, the seventh year in a row, and then another year will end. If I didn’t feel it last year, this year the shift seems even less noteworthy.

But the good news is that the gallery is working again. Here we go, let’s roll through the last month for the last time. Thank you for all your visits. Life goes on.

I drove to Grosseto to do some shopping and found a flood. The Ombrone river got big.

At least I don’t think this structure ought to be surrounded by water.

Grosseto is picturesque.

The Grosseto Cathedral.

Holiday spirit first week in December.

Contrary to that, Rome didn’t show any Christmas signs even on the 24th, at least the Monteverde district.

It looked like it always does.

Old and brown.

Slightly burnt.

And slightly lost.

Oh well, whatever.

A prisoner plant.

The banana branches running away.

There was one thing though.

Rome was in bloom on Christmas.

And when I returned home to Tuscany there was one poppy, two months earlier than the earliest one in previous years.

The not moon, the dog and a snail on the table.

Two snails, if you ask my camera.

Power struggle.

Strudel for New Year’s Eve, to end on the sweet side.
