From the sea to the mountains!  Today was our first snowshoeing excursion.  Who knows when we'll have our next as we are due to go into complete lock down again as of Monday the 21st.  It's for this reason I have changed my flight to London and will leave the 20th.  When will this all end one wonders.

 

 

We started out early morning and it was COLD.  The advantage was that there was NO ONE to be seen.  

 

It was another glorious day.  At least in the mountains.  Torino and surrounds were brown with smog even after the months of limited traffic. 

On these, the shortest days of the year, the valley below is all in shadow shortly after noon.  The temperatures dropped and I practically ran all the way to the car.  Going down is SO much easier!
