Como. Italy.
From the summit of Monte Palanzone, a view toward lake Como and a cold weather front marching on. I had twenty minutes of sun on the summit, then the cold wind blew those clouds on me, and a in bunch of minutes I had to change, from a light shirt to full winter jacket, hat, gloves and run down.
That's another nice thing of hiking in winter.

Albavilla. Como.
This is from the summit of Monte Palanzone, the second summit for elevation of the so called "Triangolo Lariano", the area where the two southern branches of Lake Como, with the shape of an inverted Y, design a sort of triangle.
View toward the summits of Monte Legnone, on the left, and the sister summits named Grigne.

Como. Italy.
The Northern ridge of Monte Palanzone, 1435m (4,710ft), seen from the summit.
On the background, on the left Monte San Primo, on the right the pyramid called Monte Legnone.
After four days of bad weather, with two meters of fresh snow on some range of the real Alps, and after the rising of the temperature, I have chosen to take a walk on these smaller mountains, where It is almost impossible to find yourself alone; they offer a great view once you get out of the Woods and no risk of avalanches.

Monte Moregallo. Italy
The twin mountain peaks named Grignetta, 7,145ft, on the right, and Grignone, 8,070ft, from the summit of Monte Moregallo, 4,195ft.
When I climbed Monte Moregallo, three weeks ago, then I realized that this was the last year for me under these mountains. My company is going to move the facilities to another place. So I planned to climb other three summits above the city of Lecco in three weeks, Resegone, Monte due Mani and, last but not the least, Grignetta. Today I closed the loop and I climbed Grignetta when the work was over. I will bother you with some shot from the summit of this baby, but not tonight. Tonight the memories are just for me.
La cima della Grignetta dalla sommità del Monte Moregallo. Dall'anno prossimo non lavorerò più sotto queste cime, così, in questo mese di luglio ho salito quattro cime in quattro settimane, dopo il lavoro: Moregallo, Resegone, Due Mani, e oggi la Grignetta

Hiking After work, when things just don't work.
"...Some guys they just give up living, and start dying little by little, piece by piece.
Some guys come home from work and wash up, and go racing in the street..."
"...Tonight I'll be on that Hill, cause I can't stop...
For wanting things that can only be found."
Springsteen, 1978.
"...It takes everything that you have to face the day..."
Hatebreed, 2003.
"...commiserating has run it's course
we'll save the world tomorrow
we'll have to wait until that day
...
but in the meantime
let's celebrate that we don't give a %uck!
Sick Of It All, 200X.
