October 2017

Before this month is done, here is last year’s October in twenty images.

Greetings from Rome where we had a bit of Armageddon last night, with a hail storm, flash floods and general chaos. Luckily we stayed home and didn’t know about any of that, only Bestia was fighting his usual storm fight (first barking at it, then scratching at furniture to find a secret escape route).

Last year I also spent some October days in Rome, as you shall see. The rest of the photos are from my immediate surroundings. There were no visitors, and that meant no trips.

But with views like these, where should I go and why?

Previous months in my 2017 Calendar in the making can be found here.

Let’s start with this double blues in Rome.

October is pomegranate season.

Roman cats get around.

Back to the provincia. This is the bus stop at the Capalbio train station. Not that much going on out of season.

Lake Burano. I thought this was a scarecrow at first.

Whereas these are swan loaves.

A snail party, still without a biological explanation. That week I posted black and white photos. I found work without colours what hell must be like.

A pigeon house by the train tracks.

Always something going on on a micro level.

Awards for looking closely.

In the end of October humidity starts to win over.

A dress design idea.

All kinds of wonderful.

Including my friend, of course.

October: This cat looks badass but is the closest I’ve ever had to a cat friend. She always comes to greet us. Bestia likes her too.

An example of a photo topping reality. This roof never looks as splendid in real life. Or was it merely the case of seizing the right moment?

October: This field is pretty happening for real. Capalbio Scalo.

A sunset in the making.

Told ya. Same evening as previous photo.

Not true that nothing ever happens: La porta gialla pub in Borgo Carige has its annual Oktoberfest party!
