Natural History Photographs


Valle d'Aosta, Italy
Ville sur Sarre
27 & 28 July 2018

Due to some problem with a tyre, we couldn't use the car till the problem was fixed. So I decided to explore the direct environment of Ville sur Sarre somewhat more thoroughly. On the 27th I walked along the road for a while, before I found a track away from the road. This page shows some photos I took along the road. It also shows some photos from the 28th. This day had some serious rainfall early afternoon, but after the rain had moved on, I explored some tracks close to Ville sur Sarre.
