10-22.05.-We-Casale Monferrato – Turin

Today I felt really fine. Bright sunshine. Less winds. And most important: it became warm!

Today I saw 2 little rabbits, storks, squirrel, frogs and a pheasant. Never before I saw a pheasant. He flew five meters in front of mine crossing the way.

Also I enjoyed different scents: elder, rose, jasmine and at Torino linden.

I got a hearty breakfast with scrambled eggs and toasted fruits.

The bike path EV 8 gets more and more to a dirt track and road bike path.

Yet a thunderstorm is here at Torino.

Today’s breakfast.

At Casale Monferrato I saw this cleaning devices. Do they want to clean their roof gutters with these besoms?

Nice dirt road.

Again…

In the front an elders bush. In the back the Alpes.

… And of course poppies 🙂

A special tractor for the rice fields. The wheels are only about 10 centimeters wide.

I didn’t understand what he did.

Lakes as far as the eye can see.

A complex and sophisticated irrigation system. That’s real science. Lots of experience led to this rice plantation system.

Following stadium.

A vintage tractor as a sewing or poisoning machine.

Santuario della madonnina

Maybe you can see the rabbit.

Another dirt track. Also funny to balance through the puddles. Left and right and again lift 😉

Canale Cafour next to Chivasso.

Church facade at Chivasso.

River Orco next to Chivasso.

Superga above Torino where I was in September 2018.
