2022
This is my first "real" photos of 2018.
In Italy we call it "Calicantus", you probably know it as "Yellow Wintersweet" (Chimonanthus praecox).
This is my symbol of transition between the old and the new year.
Leafs are not completely fallen down, the flowers are already blossoming, in this rainy first day of the new year.
New life is coming. Good life to all of you

We decided for a walk, in the Sile River Park, (10 minutes to home) for watching the Sunset.
To enter the park, you walk in a footbridge built over the water
The sun is already moving down, and only the tips of the trees are lighted, while the shadow are increasing
In front of us, the sky is on fire
While, behind us, the moon is lightened, and is becoming important
The birds, in the small lake, are floating in a sea of liquid gold
We decide to move back, we dont want to be caught by the dark. So, turning north to reach the car, we see, in front of us, the Alps covered of snow.
In the sunset's light, the snow is changing his color, from a bright white to a pale pink
We have no words, all around us everything is silent, waiting for the night that is quickly coming. Only the time to watch the sun, that is disappearing now
Tomorrow is New Year Eve, hope you will have fun.
I wish you a wonderful New Year. After the sunset, a new sunrise will come
Good night
Ermes
Shine on with love and friendship for everyone worldwide from Australia

Thanks @MariaBi, @MariaBi, @Justine2807
Notifications was down for 10 hours today, so I missed a lot of your reply. Well, no problem. Today (Jan 2) was the first sunny day of the year, so I used the afternoon's daylight to move a bit North, in the Alps direction, for some photo.
We went in the heart of Prosecco's hills (Conegliano) then in Vittorio Veneto and in the Caglieron's grottos
A few photos for you:
Mountain view from the Prosecco's hills (the Collalto's castle)
San Martino Castle, blue sky
We ended at the Grottos, and this is the photos that I wanted to really show you:
