Day 3 of the Scenic/Landscape Challenge
Day 3: Castello di Pavone in Ivrea, Italy (Piedmont). This is unique castle dates back to Medieval times. It is now a hotel/restaurant, where
we celebrated an important birthday of my nephew a couple of years ago.
The castle is privately owned by a family who lovingly renovated it
while leaving the original intact as much as possible. Wonderful place!

A Scenic/Landscape Challenge
I was invited by my friend and author Darlene Foster to take part in the Scenic/Landscape Challenge and post a picture a day
for the next seven days. I decided to put them on my blog as well, since some of my friends may have missed them on Facebook. Here is my contribution for the first two days:
Day 1: This is a picture of my home town in Switzerland with hoarfrost and the fog snaking its way through the landscape. I thought of it because I woke up this morning in California to a foggy day.
Day 2: The following are pictures taken from the Botanical Garden at Berkeley of the San Francisco Bay and the gardens I visited together with my friend Susan Deming. We were surprised to find a rock with a poem by Sylvia Plath in the gardens.
