Still on the colorful waterfront of Camogli, Western Liguria, during the past week end, when it was spring there and winter in Milan.

But yesterday something changed also in Milan.
Not more winter, not more spring...we jumped directly in the summer season.

As some millions of other people of Great Milan, we spent our w.e. in a park of the city, with 30° under the sun, no clouds, warm Pheon wind and a deep blue sky.
Bermuda pant and t-shirt.
People in the lake with kayaks and canoes, children playin football, moms under the sun and father sleeping under the trees.

This summer in the beginning of March will end this evening, when it will come a wonderful wind from North Pole and Siberia, with snow on the hills of the northern part of Metro Area and the Lakes District and 2° in a rainy Milan city.

When i was child i remember that we have a book about the months and the weather of each one.
November it was full of rain, April it was the crazy one with rain, wind and cold, from June to September it was summer, warm, humidity and sun with mayb some thunderstorm, December, January and February it was deep winter with snow, ice and cold...
That's was the weather 30 years ago.
Winter was cold, Summer warm, a fresh and maybe rainy Spring...now it's a bit hard for my 2 children to understand the season...
Two week ago the dad was skiing on the Alps and the children was playing in a 1 meter and a half of snow, with less than 5° under the zero...one week ago there was guys swimming in the sea in Camogli and the children spent the day playing on the beach...then 5 days of deep humid winter in Milan, and a finally a Sunday pretty naked on the shore of a lake in Milan running under a warm sun as in June!

and tomorrow morning maybe a bit of snow....

Ciao Paolo,
Sono appena passato la settimana a Torino e purtroppo non ho avuto il tempo della costa Ligure! (sono arrivato lunedì, appena dopo il bello tempo). Molto bella vista di queste case così colorate e del loro riflesso nell'acqua.
Mi piace l'atmosfera rilassata di questa domenica primaverile sulla spiaggia... un piccolo pezzo di vita italiana quando il sole ritorna.
Buona giornata
Diane

I love the three-tier approach. The water, the sand and then the buildings make it a special image indeed with plenty to look at in terms of composition and colours

Sai cos'è il bello di questi tempi?
Che stai sulla spiaggia ben vestito e ti godi i primi caldi raggi di sole... aaahhhh!
Io qui a Tirrenia, lo faccio spesso e oggi ho fatto anche il bagno, hehehe....
Complimenti per l'idea che hai avuto a realizzare uno scatto che è quasi uno stato d'animo.
Ciao Paolo!

Poor Paolo,30°
no more winter,what will you say in summer?
Sorry,I`m only joking....
Good note about the crazy climate we have,and a great shot.
These colorful facades are a photographers delight and you managed a good composition.
The 24th was a fantastic spring day here too,not 30° but amazing 19°,enough for my balcony,now we are back to winter.The weatherforecast tells about snow tommorrow morning.
Kind regards,Leo

Ciao Paolo,
colori, nitidezza, composizione... perfetti come sempre nelle tue foto; anch´io sono stato a sciare con 20°C ieri, strano..
Ciao Christian

Hi Paolo!

It looks like summer with all those people on the beach and those brilliant colourful buildings lit by the sun! Great vertical framing, great composition and beautiful colours! Congratulations!

Hola Paolo,
Estabas en el agua? A bordo de un barco o bañándote? Bueno, en el agua no creo, estaría fría...
Bonito trabajo con muchos elementos muy bien enlazados. Me gusta mucho el agua de colores a causa de los reflejos y las bonitas casas.
Cordialmente
Charo

Ciao Paolo.
Bella immagine a due livelli di lettura.
Un livello è lasciarsi prendere dalla tavolozza di colori nel suo insieme, l'altro è cercare visi, dettagli, storie, nei dettagli della scena corale.
Ciao, Bobo.
