#Milano, l'inverno più caldo di sempre con 3 soli giorni di gelo.

Ma l'importante è non mettete in discussione niente, né le politiche energetiche, né i trasporti, né i consumi.

Però "non vado in bici perché fa freddo" non vale più come scusa...

Exhausted from doomsday news?

I just had a whole 20 minutes reading of only good news in a row.

Today I was on fieldwork, but not for some #SoilBiodiversity things 😉

We checked the #alpine meteo station at 2400m in the #LTSERMatsch site, #Vinschgau (#SouthTyrol).

As you see: it was quite wintery up there, with snow and wind, and a little bit of sun 😎

Check all the open data from this and all our stations here: https://browser-stage.lter.eurac.edu/

Climate Change on Mountains
Reviving Humboldt’s Approach to Science

This book presents concepts, methodologies and major achievements of recent research in climate change ecology in mountains by placing this research in a historical perspective, that of travelers and naturalists of the Romantic era, and first of all Alexander von Humboldt.

Complaining about public transport is trending, but I have to say it works well in #SouthTyrol and the #Euregio Tirol-Südtirol-Trentino.

Yesterday we took the 🚡down to #Bozen (#Bolzano) with the family, then the 🚈 to #Trento (#Trient) to the #MuSe natural science museum and with the EuregioFamilyPass we paid a measly €9 for us four!
3h of dinosaur skeletons, all kind of animals, kids experiments, 5 floors, palm house, ... great!

The MuSe museum in Trento (Trentino, Italy) offers five floors of natural science information and experiments.

The multiple sections (all covered in wood shingles) of the Coburger Hütte mountain hut in front of an intensely deep blue sky. The hut is already closed and prepared for the winter, all windows and doors are shut/boarded up.
The huge rock faces of the Wetterstein massiv in full orange Alpen glow and towering over the silhouettes of the forest in front. Clear blue sky.
View down a wide and long valley during sunset. Intense side light and god rays from the sun partially obscured by a large rock cliff on the left. The forest bathed in golden light on the right. The haze creates a strong layering effect of the mountains along the valley in the back.

🤗 Today I spent a Sunday in nature 🏞️

✨ After so many years I'm always amazed when I discover new incredible nature' corners near my home in Abruzzo 🇮🇹

The first thing Lelly and I are doing since she got back is (1) visiting her sister with gifts from Maluku, and (2) listening to #Sepultura from the Kridosono roundabout. 😂

Hopefully I'll get a chance to see them properly in the future and not from across a street with the cops lmao.

In the first shot, Sepultura plays in the background, from beyond a giant wall. The shot starts with a view of a paper cup of coffee, before we pan to the right and show the wall. In the second shot, a faraway stage is viewable from beyond a gate. In both shots, traffic passes by consistently.

I've yet to understand how charging an entry fee of €5 would deter anyone, after they've paid thousands just to get there. Maybe €50 would do it, though if I was designing a system to reduce visitor numbers I'd go for a free lottery.

Venice is planning to charge tourists $8 a day to visit. Here's why https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-09-13/venice-is-planning-to-charge-tourists-8-dollar-a-day-to-visit/102844986

It's #MountainMonday and #10YearsAgo we fulfilled one of our dream. What a weekend, what an experience... we were indestructible 🤠

We climbed Ortler (3905m, also called Ortles), the highest mountain in #SouthTyrol, in the region of #Tyrol, and the former Austro-Hungarian Empire.

We had great weather, a great company, and an astonishing panorama.

How super wealthy tourists are making a parallel Italy for themselves.

Operated by the Orient Express, the new La Dolce Vita train lines will create a heavily curated version of Italy for the super wealthy.

Starting next year, the exclusive and super luxurious train service ‘La Dolce Vita’ will depart Italian train stations and travel a collective 16,000 km of railway lines across the peninsula.

Spectacular red furry velvet ant, Dasymutilla sp.—a wasp whose female, as shown here, is wingless. Spotted on a sandy trail in Los Padres National Forest, behind Santa Barbara, #california http://www.inaturalist.org/observations/175677123

Velvet ants are solitary wasps with hardened exoskeletons and often very powerful and painful venom; they hunt viciously, accumulating paralised prey in burrows where they lay their eggs. The hatching larvae will eat the prey alive.

This one showed herself a great digger. Dug multiple times, a few seconds at a time, as if looking for something. How bees and wasps manage to dig so effectively never ceases to amuse me.
