where being naked online is OK
Walking along the meadow, I was attracted by the colour of these flowers. On the one hand the flowers, beautifully numerous in full bloom, on the other hand, I didn’t even know their name. But I have books to look for and, in the end, I found that is called Salcerella (Lythrum salicaria, or purple … Read more
If it is true that we are permeable to the places where we live or pass or look, that there is something we can name place-mimesis. Seeing this photograph it can only be true. And I remember how I felt. And everything happens even unconsciously. In the same way, as you absorb the birdsong (as … Read more
Yesterday I had another nice day at the beach and I made some photos..
Yesterday I made a long hike on the mountains of the left side of Valle Camonica up to Passo delle Sette Crocette (N 45°50’50” E 10°19’14”). Great weather! The refuges are all closed due to the pandemic. I haven’t met anyone—few some hikers at the pass, but coming from other directions. So I was able … Read more
Back home, I was looking at myself in this picture; but immediately distracted by the bright, backlit green of the horsetail. We probably also have a kind of chlorophyll that transforms light into energy and health. I can only adore this wonder: I feel in me an intimate sense of belonging, of continuity with nature. … Read more
I have passed by this meadow a thousand times, a thousand times I saw these two poplars, but only a few days ago I noticed that they were a “happy couple”. If you notice, there is no branch in the middle, as each of the two trees was respectful of the other and did not … Read more
6 o’clock in the morning. Trying to find a (large & open because of social distancing) place for a reading. Too beautiful to give up.
Yesterday the hedge was swollen with white and yellow flowers of the honeysuckle and brambles. This morning I find the hedge “sheared”. Along the same path, the fallen pappi of the cotton trees had already become seedlings – they disturbed the walk, and someone zapped away those too. I make do with what remains. Visitors, … Read more
The virus is over. Games go on. The nature reserve reopened today after two months of closure. In the past two months, water birds have been able to make their nests in peace; the vegetation has grown luxuriant, the reeds (Phragmites australis) have grown through the cracks between the axes of the bridges. On the … Read more
Passing through a path, the first rays of the sun backlight the leaves of the Gleditsia (honey locust). The place has almost a magical light. Passing through it, I take some of that light away.
This Saturday, May 02, is “World Naked Gardening Day”. It’s a great opportunity to get closer to the natural environment while doing productive things, while enjoying the comfort of working in our normal and natural state of nudity. For those of us who already embrace the idea that “nude is normal”, WNGD is another way … Read more
The first article of our Constitution says: “Italy is a democratic republic based on work”. The unilateral suspension of work is, therefore, an arbitrary, unconstitutional act (among other things, it has not been approved by Parliament). It has never happened, not even in the worst dictatorships. Many small companies will have to close, or accept … Read more
After several years of wishing, I finally started my new hobby of beekeeping last year. Wishing to give the bees the most natural environment possible, I chose to use “top bar” hives, after doing a lot of reading online and in books. Last year’s bee colonies were a great learning experience, complete with successes and … Read more
Like every morning I went out for a short walk in the country. It is against the prescriptions, not the law – and the prescriptions are unconstitutional, they have never been debated in parliament – fines are 300-3000 euros. On the one hand, I have this social and political reality in which, for better or … Read more
Going for a walk in the countryside (around dawn, when the Carabinieri are still asleep) you have to breathe and you feel your chest open: together with the air enters who knows what: oxygen, light (maybe the same light that makes our DNA live). The mind goes on other drifts and thinks about freedom: very … Read more
Despite the strict restrictions (one more every day), I do not give up my morning walks. The movement, the fresh and pure air, letting what you see become thought these are all things that help my health. I would also add the independence of thought. I’m the same as usual: I like nature to see … Read more
Having been in ‘almost lockdown’ at home for a few weeks now, I’m eagerly looking forward to better weather conditions. Next Sunday and Monday should be ok with temperatures rising up to 19 degrees here in Northern Germany.. But then, should I just go to the beach and practice social distancing there? The naturist beach … Read more
This pandemic is changing our lives. And it’s a choice we wouldn’t want. First, because they didn’t ask us for anything, and with the mean of terror and sanctions, they have cornered us. But with this, they have revealed what “power” really is. The most major threat is the seizure of our bodies: 1) being … Read more
In a recent post of mine, I said that on the streets you could walk naked because there are no cars, there are no passers-by. Usually, on Sunday morning this road was very busy: cars, cyclists, people taking a walk, families enjoying the day off. This morning the road in front of my house looked … Read more
These are great days! There is a silence that seems to have dilated perception; there is no longer the background noise of traffic. Everyone is retired indoors, while their health is outside, in the open air, breathing oxygen, moving around, feeling the warmth of the sun after winter. Nature is a healer, it has no … Read more
This morning at 7 a.m., leaving for my usual tour, I read a notice that even the children’s playground was closed. I don’t know if the situation is *really* serious or if it’s getting worse under any pretext. The only defensive weapon I have is to ignore the news, don’t scare by myself, don’t feel … Read more
