Above the Clouds

I wanted to see the autumn colours before winter sets into the Apennines. I decided to go to Lake Calamone below Mount Ventasso, RE. The weather when I left home was grey and misty.  I was right with my planning. When I got to Ramiseto, RE I was out of the cloud cover and into a nice sunny autumn day.
With little wind the trees reflecting in the lake were spectacular.

I then climbed up above the lake towards Mount Ventasso , then at a certain point I took the footpath towards Pratizzano. Below me the fog filled Secchia Valley and Mount la Nuda in the distance, partly covered by bad weather coming in from Liguria.
