Grey Smoke in a Grey Sky

This photo is terribly grey, but that's just the kind of day it is here. Grey, grey, grey. I'm feeling kind of grey myself, actually... Southern Italy has a wonderful abundance of sun yearround, and I realise how spoiled I am when a few grey days start to get me down. How do people survive in areas with very little sun throughout the winter?

The smoke in this photo is from agricultural burning. Farmers are pruning olive trees and burning the smaller branches and leaves. Outside it smells like a big barbeque!

Personal Weather Station

There are many hobbies a person can become passionate about: sports, crafts, gardening or...the weather! This weather station is set up on the balcony of a home in the very center of Molfetta. It measures air temperature, wind strength and direction, high or low pressure, humidity...you name it. No more sticking your head out the window to see how to get dressed in the morning. With this machine, you'll be prepared for every variation in the weather!
