After a long winter, spring seems to be finally here. Temperature is getting warmer and the trees are in bloom. After snow and rain, this weekend the weather forecast is good and it's the perfect moment to spend a couple of days in the mountains of the Alps, in the Gran Paradiso National Park.
In the morning, I get up early enough to witness the first light on Mont Blanc – the highest peak in Europe – that before all the other mountains is reached by the warm colors of the rising sun. It is always an impressive view, even more majestic now at dawn. Then after a short time, also the other mountains around us abandon the darkness of the night to shine in full light.
The valley is beautiful, still covered in snow for the most
part. The warm sun kisses the high peaks and the crocuses fill the
meadows. The view is magnificent and the senses rejoice in this paradise.
Silence
is deep, nothing distracting the contemplation of nature. Just the
chirping of the birds which look for food, exploring the trees that have
not yet started blooming at this altitude.
Before dinner, a visit to the village is a pleasant occasion to take a few more shots of interesting textures and objects, typical of the life in the mountains of Cogne.
