Two tone Carinthia

The forest was abuzz with fireflies and grey moths and other little insects. I rode out in the morning along the Drau, a relaxed ride through fields and pine forests. There were logging sites, where I breathed deep the strong aroma of pine wood. The ride past the Lienzer Dolomites brought me to the pretty little town.

The ride through Carinthia was in two tones of color. A gray haze blanketed the sky ahead with shadowy shapes of mountains in the distance. As I zipped through them, they turned into a bright green tunnel of forests. The air was heavy with vapor and the smell of rain brewing.

A relaxed day, so a good chance to do some laundry at the river. The wind picked up to blow dry the clothes fastened to the rack of Schopper.

I climbed up the hill near Weissensee and found a beautiful spot in an old forest, with tall ferns from which the fireflies and moths emerged again. Later in the night, the weather made up it's mind and rained down with lightning and thunder. A powerful experience in a tent in a forest!もっと詳しく
