Mediterrainian sea …
A short stop at the beach and dipping my toes in the ocean (testing my goretex waterproof boots!)
May 2024
Craco ghost town …
Abandoned at some point in the 60ies due to earthquake damage and poor economy.
I couldn’t figure out where and how to buy a ticket for the guided tour (the only way to get in …), so I only have pictures from the outside.
Tornante …
Means Hairpin corner,
Olive trees …
Plenty of them around here 👍
Matera …
The houses are partly build into the mountains, and the James Bond movie “No time to die” was filmed here.
Mandatory place on your to-do list.
Overtaking an ice cream van on the outside in a corner …
Not impossible when you can see far ahead 👍😎
Trinity movies …
Featuring Bud Spencer and Terrance Hill.
One of the movies was shot here !
Beautiful mountains …
East of Rome.
Fossa earthquake …
The Italian mountain village was destroyed by an earthquake in 2009, the inhabitants was evacuated and the village was fenced off.
The only people allowed in are the construction workers that are stabilizing the damaged buildings, but I took a chance and went there to see if I could get s few interesting pics.
And for some reason the construction workers allowed me to go in and explore the village on my own – and even told me about the unlocked door on the backside of the church !!!
It was a strange experience to see the damaged private homes with their personal belongings, but I’m grateful to be allowed to explore the Fossa village 👍
