Functional Beauty

The functional beauty of a piece of steel does not necessarily stem out of the great expectations that I am having from it. There must be something more.

Gone

At last, even this day has gone. It didn't start under the best of my wishes. Neither it ended in the best of the expected ways. Still, it's gone and tomorrow ... will be another day. 

Second option

After breaking my newest mountain-bike in a way that I still have to sort out how can I fix it, avoiding to spend a capital, I managed to break even the old one, that I had long ago handed over to my son and taken back for my last rides. In a matter of days, with the winter season coming quick and the days shortening, I have found myself in troubles. A package is on the way, with a new gear sets and driving chain. Next weekend I'll have something to do, downstairs in the cellar. As for the day, I went out anyway for an exploration tour on top on a mountain side that I've always seen from far and never approached. Even with only 5 gears out of 9, I've done the steep climb up to the top of the mount, getting off a couple of times, with the excuse of taking a picture to the wonderful foliage of the undergrowth.

Cesarea or Muscaria?

Surprisingly, notwithstanding the snow fallen few meters above in the last days, the undergrowth remains a warm place, where autumn hasn't yielded yet to winter.

A view from the bridge. In few days it's going to be different.
