Post 3,605 of 3,665 - This blog will end on December 31st


On next December 21st our blog will be ten years old: I would never have thought it would last so long and I am still surprised at my perseverance. It is now time to end it: I will post my last photo on December 31, just to complete the year. There will be time to thank everybody: readers, followers, friends, and fellow bloggers.

Il prossimo 21 dicembre il nostro blog compirà dieci anni: non avrei mai pensato che sarebbe durato così a lungo e continuo ad essere sorpreso della mia perseveranza. È tempo di finirlo: pubblicherò l'ultima foto il 31 dicembre, giusto per completare l'anno. Ci sarà tempo per ringraziare tutti: lettori, amici ed altri blogger.

Alba

Amore mio, nei vapori d'un bar
all'alba, amore mio che inverno
lungo e che brivido attenderti!
Dawn

(My love, in the vapours of a bar
at dawn, my love what a long winter
and what a thrill to wait for you!)
(Giorgio Caproni, Il passaggio d’Enea, 1956)
