Something Special

A friend of mine who lives in Loreto Aprutino kindly sent me this photo.

It follows on nicely from the last post on skiing.  Abruzzo has high mountains and gets plentyof snow, but towns like Loreto Aprutino don’t get much.  Being 30 minutes from the coast and at around 300 metres above sea level, snow doesn’t usually last long there.

But when the snow sticks, these towns look absolutely stunning.   My friend Lino captured the above “picture postcard” a couple of weeks ago.  I admit I am envious.  I wish I was there to see it, to breath in the icy air, and to try and take the perfect photograph.  But I don’t think I’d have matched Lino’s skill. 

Bravo Lino, e grazie per la foto.  É bellissima!
