Autumn in the Apennines

Photos from the last two walks I did in September - October before winter set in. I managed to be there just in time to see the autumn colours.
 
29th September - "Passo Pradarena" to "Passo La Forcerella".
The red colour is due to the leaves of blueberry plants.





 Photos: towards Passo La Forcerella.
















Monte Prada (2054m) looking east.
15th October: "Passo delle Forbici" to "Passo La Forcerella".
 I went along the "Crinale" climbing M.Prada before descending down to a lower path to take me back to where I started.
After a nice morning the weather changed and I did the last half hour under frozen rain.
The gathering storm made for some good photos.
The cramps I got in my legs as I hurried back were less good !
