Lecco's various volunteer organizations had a fair, and some provided entertainment.

As part of a "youth happening," the "BB Band" came to Lecco, complete with dancers. The music was live and very good, and the youth happening turned into an all-ages event with everyone enthusiastically dancing. Who says today's young people don't appreciate good music?

There was a beautiful storm last night, off in the distance to the north. I recorded for about 40 minutes, then edited it down - I only worked through the first ten minutes or so before I got very bored of looking for the lightning in all that darkness!

What does the parasailer have to do with it? There were three of them, dressed in Santa costumes (we think). Sorry for the shaky camera work - I was filming them from across the lake.

Merry Christmas!

This footage was shot around 11 am; eight hours later, snow keeps falling - we ended up with about 55 cm.

As one newscaster put it: "Leaving aside 1985, this is the biggest snowfall Italy has seen in a century." Um, and why do you get to leave out 1985?

Boats, birds, blue, blue water, flags in the wind.
