Summer is coming to
an end here in Italy. Driving up to Passo del Giogo I noticed that the foliage
on the trees is starting change colour.
Starting from Passo
del Giogo the 00 footpath seemed to be the quickest way of getting up to the
Sella di Monte Acuto, where one is offered one of the most spectacular views of
the high Apeninnes.
The path is fairly easy for the first half until the Foce di
Torsana, but then it’s a stiff steep climb up to the Sella. Even though the
last part of the path is rather steep, this is in fact the quickest way up.

It is on these
steep footpaths that I really appreciate the reduced weight of my newish 4/3 cameras compared to my old DSLR kit.
When I arrived the
mountains were covered in cloud, but I was lucky, the strong wind cleared the
cloud for a few minutes and I was rewarded with a fantastic view of Groppi di
Camporaghena.

The myrtle berry
plants are starting to change colour, so in a few days time these mountains
will be covered in a red violet carpet.

On the way back the
bad weather coming in from Liguria made
a fantastic cloudscape.
