What a horrible
winter we have had here in Reggio Emilia this year. It always seems to be snowing or raining when
I have some free time.

I have managed to
get out into the mountains just a couple
of times in the last two months.
I went to Lago
Pranda near the Cerreto pass . Lots of snow but not a very inspiring walk, this
lake is far more interesting in Autumn or Spring. On the way back I
stopped at Cerreto Alpi an isolated mountain village.

Last Sunday I
decided to climb up to Lago Verde in the Parco Cento Laghi area. There was a metre of hard compact snow so
walking was quite easy. The sense of
peace in this place is always present. It
was a bit late to take any interesting
photographs , as the sun had already dropped behind the mountains. But I had an enjoyable walk all the same.

In my lunch break I
have been a couple of times into the foothills above Quattro Castella. The
calanchi covered in snow are always interesting to photograph.

I am still trying to come to terms with the
new 4/3 camera system I bought in January. I am now beginning to understand the
strengths and weaknesses of the
Olympus E M5.

I was able to confirm that the reduced weight (without loss of image quality) is a big advantage
when walking in the mountains.
