I woke up early, today, and everything was foggy out of the window.

Gabriella was traveling to go to work, and stopped to take this wonderful picture:


Gabriella - Sanremo, Imperia, Italy - 7.50 am

I declare it should be illegal to go to work, when around you the world is so beautiful and shining!

Ilaria thought it was going to rain, but it did not.

Ilaria - Pisa, Italy - About 11.00 am

Lucky Gaia was still on holiday, and the weather was still fantastic!

Chiara - Berlin, Germany - 1.50 pm

Emanuela stopped to admire a golden sky at 4.30 pm.

Emanuela - Savio, Cervia, Ravenna, Italy - 4.30 pm

After three hours of homework (first hour: the Borgia family; second hour: essay on "Journalism versus online information"; third hour: the French revolution) I was hoarse and even a little confused. And the sky had turned dark.

Enrica shows us how different the sky was, about 800 km South!

The first one to get up today was Francesca aka Chicca.

Dawn was breaking over the horizon,

shell pink and faintly gold.

Soon after that, Celenia and her baby Alessandro went to their music lesson, but were a bit early and decided to look at the sky.

Gabriella's daughter had a ballet lesson this afternoon, so while she was waiting for her little ballerina, Gabriella took a picture of the sky in Sanremo . I think this one really looks like a painting!

Day One

Here we are! Happy new year of sky to everbody!

I went for a walk early this morning. I live near the southern border of Berlin: I just stroll about along a brooklet for 10-15 minutes and I'm already in the countryside, breathing the air that tastes like meadows and nature.
It was around 8.00 am, and there weren't many people around: a couple of joggers, some people with dogs, a cyclist or two. The beautiful thing is that, since it was so quiet, I could enjoy the sounds of birds chirping and calling. I saw a stork, and many ducks playing in the water. There were also many other birds I couldn't recognize, and squirrels chasing one another from tree to tree.

Obviously I took some pictures of the sky, until I realized the battery of my phone was almost out and decided to turn back.
