The long shadows always make for good subject matter. I don’t have sunsets like you do. So I have to settle for shadows…

Unfortunately the church is locked up now and you can’t easily get in. Too many vandals I think. But the outside has endless possibilities.

It snowed here for the first time today. Didn’t stick on the road but the mountainside was white. Spring is 132 days away. Seems like a long way off…

Bite your tongue! When the need arises I can go miles and miles at 5mph on the Vespa. The physical exertion on a bicycle gets in the way of anything leisurely for me. I may bring the bike out for other reasons though — to get the heart pumping!

There’s a marked decline in motorcycles and scooters here already. Always have a motorcycle space available in town now…
