A rain forest in Italy?

Hello everyone, third of the series from the Val Chiusella.

The roaring river, the sparse trees, the fog and the suspended

atmosphere, and finally the fact that it was the seventh day of rain,

made me think of a rain forest.

I still didn't know it when I shot this picture two days ago, but now we

have an alert for probable floods here in Piedmont.

Many rivers in the alpine valleys have already broken the banks, and

we're waiting the peak of water in the plain for tonight. If it will be

disastrous as in year 2000 and 1994, the power will be probably shut off

to keep safe the plants. It's funny, Piedmont have never had disastrous

floods in the past centuries (yes, centuries!!), and now we are going to

face the third flood in 14 years. And still someone of the government is

arguing that climate is not changing...

 

Perhaps I'll be off the net for a while. See you after the flood :-))

Nice light and I am so sorry to hear about your problems ! Thanks for informing us.

since I live near this area I always knew Valchiusella as a very "rainy" place and your pictures confirm that (I'm joking of course). But your wonderful and spectacular pictures reveal also how beautiful a "rainy" place could be. Congratulations! Regards, Gino

what a beautiful image: I wish I had taken it!  regards, cb  :-)
