On new year's day, my family and I paid a visit to Superga. It's a prominent hill on the eastern side of Torino. We took a funicular train up to the top (672 metres above sea level) and although it was quite misty that day, the skies were gorgeous. We also visited the Basilica of Superga...I'll be posting up photos of it in the coming days.

A beautiful view of the Alps
This shot was taken on the way up the hill.
Sunset
Torino... shrouded in mist, and in the background stand the Alps. I love this shot...in the middle is the River Po....the longest river in Italy.
Visit Sky Watch Friday for more amazing skywatch photos.
Just say Alps and I melt...I loved the idea of the Alps until I saw them and hiked in them...now I LOVE the Alps
ReplyDeleteWow Rebecca, you went hiking in them? Super!! I must admit, I'm not so adventurous :D But I love looking at them.
ReplyDeleteWow beautiful pictures! Favorites would be the first 4... actually you know they all are so good! I love all the pictures of the Alps. They are so huge! I also really like the angle on the third shot and those three trees in the fourth. =D
ReplyDeleteI love Superga at sunset. It's gorgeous! Beautiful photos as always!
ReplyDeleteWow! The view is amazing, the sky perfect and the images awesome!

ReplyDeleteKim and Vilt...Thank you for dropping by.
ReplyDeleteTeeTee...Thank you. Happy New Year!
Wow!!! I am just almost speechless...these photos are truly some of the most beautiful that I've ever seen. The lavenders and blues mixing together with the mist...very surreal. I really like the one of the lamp post with the alps in the background...and the last two....I'm enlarging them again and just sitting and staring. I needed a mountain "fix." Thank you. (I grew up in the Sierra Nevadas and miss the mountains so much!)
