November skies above Ortodonico |
The weather forecast for tomorrow isn't good, so hubby suggested
that we spend today making the most of the summer like
weather & head out in Bianca, our Land Rover, with
our cameras. So at 10.30 we were out of the door, in
the car & off up the mountain.
First stop was Sven & Helle's house; they've just had the
original grindstones from the olive press that
used to be housed in their former ruin returned
to make a garden feature

Then we headed for Montecorice, called in at AgriCilento to buy
a bottle for our olive oil then set off south through Agnone
before heading slightly inland & up into the mountains.
When we reached Ortodonico we decided to park &
have a bit of an explore of this 'paese' which was the
capital of the municipality until 1927.
It's where I took the top pic in this blog post -
of the same mountain we can see from Il Sogno,
but it was nice to view it from a different & closer
angle.
And that's when it again hit me that the skies here
seem so vast, it's hard to capture all that the
eye can see on a camera.
Coming back home, the point hit home even more -
we had a double rainbow & although we could see
both ends of the inner arc, my camera
couldn't capture it all.
Somewhere over the rainbow |
