TITOLO POST STEEMIT FICO.jpg

Wow! What a great hike I took last Saturday!
I decided to go to Monte Grappa and hike to an area called Colli Alti.

The beauty of this area is that it is located at an altitude of about 1300 meters above sea level and in this period it can only mean one thing: FOLIAGE

ITA

Wow! Che bella escursione che ho fatto lo scorso sabato!
Ho deciso di andare sul Monte Grappa e fare l'escursione in una zona chiamata Colli Alti.

Il bello di questa zona è che si trova d una altitudine di circa 1300 metri sul livello del mare e in questo periodo può significare solo una cosa: FOLIAGE

After parking the car I went up Col Fenilon at 1327 meters and enjoyed a nice walk in the sun.

ITA

Dopo aver parcheggiato l'auto ho risalito Col Fenilon a 1327 metri e mi sono goduto una bella camminata al sole.

I was already having a taste of the fall color palette...a marvel!

ITA

Già stavo avendo un assaggio della tavolozza di colori autunnali...una meraviglia!

The light was also very beautiful, a little grazing and soft due to the clouds that filtered it.

ITA

Anche la luce era molto bella, un po' radente e soffusa per via delle nuvole che la filtravano.

P1052430.jpg

Just outside the vegetation, the view was all to myself.

ITA

Appena fuori dalla vegetazione il panorama era tutta per me.

P1052432.jpg

P1052433.jpg

P1052434.jpg

An arid landscape but with a great charm.

ITA

Un paesaggio arido ma con un grande fascino.

P1052439.jpg

P1052442.jpg

The even better thing is that there was no wind, so it was great, I can't express the feeling of serenity I felt...I needed it.

ITA

La cosa ancora più bella è che non c'era vento, quindi si stava benissimo, non so esprimere la sensazione di serenità che provavo...ne avevo bisogno.

I'm thinking it would be a great place for mountain biking! I'll think about it.

ITA

Sto pensando che sarebbe proprio un bel posto per delle escursioni in mountain bike! Ci penserò.

Here and there you can see trenches, and monuments in memory of the fallen of the First World War.

ITA

Qua e là si scorgono trincee, e monumenti a ricordo dei caduti della prima guerra mondiale.

P1052449.jpg

From that point I embarked on a road that would take me to a beautiful forest full of beech trees.

ITA

Da quel punto ho intrapreso una straada che mi avrebbe portato in un bel bosco ricco di faggi.

P1052453.jpg

P1052451.jpg

P1052454.jpg

The sun was almost grazing, it wasn't long before sunset.

ITA

Il sole era quasi radente, non mancava molto al tramonto.

P1052455.jpg

Here are the first signs of color. I felt an unstoppable strength to continue...I wanted to immerse myself in the foliage!

ITA

Ecco i primi segnali di colore. Sentivo una forza irrefrenabile di proseguire...volevo immergermi nel foliage!

P1052463a.jpg

After a couple of curves: the splash of color!

ITA

Dopo un paio di curve: la botta di colore!

P1052467.jpg

P1052472.jpg

P1052473.jpg

The road was very steep and the sun was hiding more and more behind the treetops...

ITA

La strada era molto in discesa e il sole si nascondeva sempre di più dietro le cime degli alberi...

P1052474.jpg

P1052480.jpg

P1052482.jpg

Enraptured by the colors, I consulted the map and decided to go on and do a loop girop. There was still time, it was still an hour before sunset.

ITA

Estasiato dai colori ho consultato la cartina e ho deciso di proseguire e fare un girop ad anello. C'era ancora tempo, mancava ancora un'oretta al tramonto.

P1052483.jpg

P1052484.jpg

After a few attempts I managed to find a viable path and slowly I went up a hill.

ITA

Dopo un po' di tentativi sono riuscito a trovare un sentiero praticabile e piano piano ho risalito una collina.

P1052485.jpg

Here, too, a dip in the autumn colors...what a great feeling.

ITA

Anche qui un tuffo nei colori autunnali...che bella sensazione.

P1052494.jpg

And here again out of the woods, another uphill and following the fence for the cows, I would have arrived on the main road.

ITA

Ed ecco di nuovo fuori dal bosco, ancora una salita e seguendo la recizione per le mucche, sarei arrivato sulla strada principale.

P1052501.jpg

P1052502.jpg

P1052503.jpg

P1052506.jpg

Each perspective was a picture.
The landscape from up there was fantastic.

Ogni prospettiva era un quadro.
Da lassù il paesaggio era fantastico.

P1052514.jpg

P1052517.jpg

I had finally reached the top of the hill, now the road was easy and smooth.

ITA

Finalmente ero arrivato in cima al colle, ora la strada era facile e agevole.

P1052519.jpg

By now it was almost dark, but I was happy and satisfied, I was a kilometer away from the car.

ITA

Ormai era quasi buio, ma ero felice e soddisfatto, mancavo un chilometro alla macchina.

P1052520.jpg

I was almost at the shelter where I had parked, I could see it, but first, since there was still a thread of light, I went to the church nearby, the church of San Giovanni.

ITA

Ero quasi al rifugio dove avevo parcheggiato, riuscivo a vederlo, ma prima, visto che c'era ancora un filo di luce, sono andato alla chiesa li vicino, la chiesa di San Giovanni.

P1052523.jpg

Here is the church! Helping me with the ISO and opening the aperture to 1.4 I took a few more shots.

ITA

Ecco la chiesa! Aiutandomi con gli iso e aprendo il diaframma a 1.4 ho fatto qualche altro scatto.

P1052526.jpg

P1052528.jpg

Beyond the church a beautiful landscape...

ITA

Oltre la chiesa un bel paesaggio...

P1052529.jpg

P1052530.jpg

It was starting to get cold, so at a brisk pace I went to the car...but I couldn't leave like this'...I was a little peckish.

ITA

Comincioava a fare freddo, così a passo svelto sono andato verso l'auto....ma non potevo andare via così'...avevo un certo languorino.

P1052532.jpg

I went into the shelter / restaurant and there was no one...luckily a girl came and I managed to get me to prepare a snack!

ITA

Sono entrato nel rifugio/ristorante e non c'era nessuno...per fortuna è arrivata una ragazza e sono riuscito a farmi preparare uno spuntino!

P1052533.jpg

P1052535.jpg

P1052536.jpg

I deserved it!
What a beautiful afternoon I spent!

ITA

Me lo sono meritato!
Che bel pomeriggio che ho passato!
