Forio Harbour in a Storm

Wow, we're really having some weather at the moment! Good afternoon all from a wind-battered Ischia where the void left by the long rainy spell has immediately been filled with gale-force gusts of more than 40mph, creating all kinds of havoc on and around the island. We've had ferries beached in Casamicciola, trees crashing on to the main road near Ischia Porto and all sorts of things generally flying through the air when they shouldn't be. Think the black and white scenes in Wizard of Oz and you'll be close! It is however bright and sunny and a great day for taking photos such as this one of Forio harbour. Right now at 230pm it's 5° Celcius (41° Fahrenheit) but feeling a good bit colder with the wind-chill. Time to wrap up warm! Back tomorrow, ciao:-)
