After a long absence, I finally managed to get back to doing a good lap in 'my' val Buscagna, at a past weekend in a tent Alpe Devero.
In relation to the heavy snowfalls that have been throughout the winter and early spring, the landscape, despite the imminent summer, is still characterized by abundant snow, while nature barely tries to wake up after a long period of lethargy.
The magnificent sight that greets us, however, is always something special

The air is fresh and crisp, almost pungent, but it helps to give us a cobalt blue sky where white clouds stand out:

The cabins are still desperately empty because the season is too far back, but it's great to see how they blend perfectly with its surroundings:

flower so few attempts to soften the landscape, capturing the sun's rays:

The meeting with a White Pulsatilla is a pretext to try to make some shots with the fifty and extension tubes. The result is by definition and amazing detail, and this combination has nothing to envy to the most noble goals macro:

The heart of the Val Buscagna is always magnificent, worthy of a painting

The bridge then appears to have been put there not by chance:

And then his friend Lucius, who finally has his dream of seeing and, more importantly, the photographing val Buscagna:

The perfect lighting conditions that we have found have been such that it could take during almost all hours of the day, unless a necessary stop for 'lavish' meal. The D300 has responded, as usual, the huge, taking up already near-perfect images, which required minimal changes in post production.
In the evening, the cold has made me feel a lot and the sky was obscured in a hurry so that I and my wife slept in a tent while outside there were 3 degrees. But this will be the theme of the next post.
