2006 December 9 & 10, Saturday & Sunday This photograph gives an impression of what we often saw in the early morning these days: a clear sky but banks of mist in the lower v  alleys
around us. Apart from offering beautiful views, this mist can play
also an important role for our future house. We want to make use of
solar energy to heat our house and the frequent appearance of mist
may frustrate this heating especially on cold winter mornings like
this. Experts recommend an altitude of at least 700 metres for this
region, so we are (with 650m) just at the limit. This was sometimes
confirmed when the mist started to invade our area, like what
happened today, but this was fortunately usually a question of an
hour or two. |

Also quite special were these drops of orange paint on the soil that I had found one month before. If I am not mistaken they belong to Melastiza chateri (Orange Cup), a typical colonizer of bare earth.
