To bring my mum to the sea also means picking her up there again to bring her home. One week later I left home eary in the morning at 3 a.m.
It was dark until about 7 a.m. so there are no photos of until sunrise. But I took some last year on the same route via Felbertauern and Plöckenpaß (Monte Croci Carnici).



Villa (comune Verzegnis) and Chiesa di San Martino




Lago di Verzegnis




Monte Amariana (1905 m)


Yes, this is a REAL ROAD for cars (according to my satnav)




Same procedure as... you know.


Breakfast with a view. Sella Chianzutàn


Monte Verzegnis o. Pizzat (1914 m)






I've been to Pielungo last year, this time I drove the small road to Castello Ceconi in the neighbourhood. No people there, great condition, great scenery. Sorry for the shadows, result of early morning sunlight.


















Il cimitera di guerra tedesco di Forno
Burial place for german soldiers who died in the battle of Pradis (Valle d'Aupa)
Near Vito d'Asio (comune Clauzetto)


Cimitera di guerra di Pradis
Another burial place and war memorial. The standing crosses in the upper part are for german/austrian soldiers, the lying stones in the lower part for italian soldiers.






The gate is made of old gun barrels


Church an bell tower in Campone


During the 20th century Italy built lots of dams in the Alps to use hydropower, many farms, settlements or even whole villages had to be relocated. When there's less water in a reservoir, you can very often see ruins of the abanoned buildings. Many of them weren't demolished before the reservoir was filled. (Lago di Redona)


South of Meduno


Chiesa Santi Nomi di Gesù e Maria, Solimbergo


Spiaggia di Càorle, Caorle Beach, Upper Adriatic Sea


Very nice weather, you could also see the coast of Croatia in the far distance




Chiesa S. Stefano Protomartire and the Campanile. Yes, things also might look not as straight as they really are in winde-angle-shots but this is also a leaning tower like in Pisa. Although it's not that dramatic.


Càorle is a fisherman's village with a great history back to the medieval times, lots of old buildings, narrow alleys and beautiful little squares.
















Many local shops closed over the last four decades. It's nice to see some of them are still there. This is some kind of a shop. They sell souveniers, toys, postcards, kitsch, porcelain, all kind of tablewear, kitchen equipment, hand tools, power tools and the ceiling was full of V-belts. Didn't want to know how old some of them were. "new" old stock probably.


Old oil cans can be so much more than just trash metal. Furniture anyone?












This used to be a fishing equipment shop, at least until the late 1990's. They also sold life bait like worms and maggots. Nowadays it's a restaurant. I just wonder whether they kept the (life-) stock?




"upcycling" of a wooden crate (for fruit or vegetables)








The insight of yesterday: we spend too little time by the sea!
