I was exhausted from the day before but still decided to join a group sunset excursion of about 10 kilometers.

ITA

Ero esausto dal giorno prima ma ho deciso comunque di partecipare a un'escursione di gruppo al tramonto di circa 10 chilometri.

After a short briefing, we left!

I didn't think there would be that many, we were about 35 people.

ITA

Dopo un breve briefing, siamo partiti!

Non pensavo saremmo stati così tanti, eravamo circa 35 persone.

With the excuse that I wanted to take pictures, I stayed in the queue of the group and thus was also safer from the point of view of security from Covid.

ITA

Con la scusa che volevo fare foto, restavo nella coda del gruppo e così ero anche più sicuro dal punto di vista della sicurezza da Covid.

The colors of the landscape were already fantastic and I started shooting right away.

ITA

I colori del paesaggio erano già fantastici e ho cominciato a scattare fin da subito.

After half an hour of walking on an asphalted road we went up a path in the vegetation.

Along the path we found some mushrooms, this is called Macrolepiota procera, in Italian we call it "drumstick".

ITA

Lungo il sentiero abbiamo acneh trovato dei funghi, questo si chiama Macrolepiota procera, in italiano lo chiamiamo "mazza di tamburo".

The temperature was optimal, it was really good, I didn't struggle much.

I just felt a little tired from the day before which was a long hike.

ITA

La temperatura era ottimale, si stava veramente bene, non ho faticato molto.

Sentivo solo un po' la stanchezza del giorno prima che è stata un'escursione lunga.

Sometimes the guide took breaks to explain where the battalions were positioned during the First World War.

ITA

Qualche volta la guida faceva delle pause per spiegarci dove erano posizionati i battaglioni durante la prima guerra mondiale.

The more minutes passed, the better the light...

We had almost reached the top, the sun was setting and everything was magical.

P1530635.jpg

Luckily there was a cow near a pool of water, so I tried a shot against the light...

Fortuna vuole che vicino ad una pozza d'acqua ci fosse una mucca, così ho provato uno scatto in controluce...

P1530642.jpg

It was a really nice atmosphere...I think the cow was watching the sunset too!

ITA

Era proprio una bella atmosfera...credo che anche la mucca stesse guardando il tramonto!

On the crest of the hill there was a net with barbed wire and from there we contemplated the landscape at 360 degrees kissed by the last light of the sun.

ITA

Sulla cresta del colle c'era una rete con il filo spinato e da li abbiamo contemplatoil paesaggio a 360 gradi baciato dalle ultime luci del sole.

P1530663.jpg

Then I noticed that sky, devoid of clouds except for a very strange cloud that reminded me of a mushroom cloud...incredible. I've never seen anything like it!

ITA

Poi mi sono accorto di quel cielo, privo di nuvole eccetto per una nuvola stranissima che mi ricordava un fungo atomico...incredibile. Non ho mai visto niente di simile!

Then, as we did not reach the next peak, we decided to climb further and set out towards Mount Asolone.

ITA

Poi, siccome poco per la cima successiva abbiamo deciso di salire ulteriormente e ci siamo incamminati verso il monte Asolone.

There were a few minutes left and it would have become dark, I must say that the blue hour is magical, especially in such beautiful places.

ITA

Mancavano pochi minuti e sarebbe diventato buio, devo dire che l'ora blu è magica, soprattuto in luoghi così belli.

P1530728.jpg

By now it was dark and I had forgotten the flashlight at home, luckily the others made a lot of light and they helped me to make a final shot too!

ITA

Ormai era buio e io mi ero dimenticato la torcia a casa, per fortuna gli altri facevano molta luce e mi hanno aiutato a realizzare anche uno scatto finale!
