Ciao Amalfi

Amalfi Coast, Movies, Video, Weather · March 3, 2009

Dancing in the Clouds

Outside my window everything is white. No, no, not more snow. During my first winter on the Amalfi Coast I was surprised by the amount of clouds that seem to just get stuck in the mountains along the coast. This happens other parts of the year, but it seems to happen most often in the winter. Day after day can go by when I look out the window and see nothing but white! You can see the low cloud cover today in the Amalfi webcam shot below:

This winter has been particularly rainy and overcast, and the clouds are unfortunately back today after a nice period of clear weather. Looking out the window just now, I was reminded of the scene from Federico Fellini’s Amarcord where the boys dance in the fog. As I tried to fix my eyes on the neighboring villa, with the clouds and mist literally blowing in the open window, the enchanting theme song from Amarcord starting going through my head. Winter on the Amalfi Coast, whether sunny or cloudy, still seems to be somehow magical.

    Hi! Just stumbled on your blog. Lovely! We’re currently on the Cilento Coast and have been amazed by those clouds and the way the weather swirls around, banging against the mountains and falling to the sea. But the sunsets! We get to see the Amalfi Coast in the distance turning red. Gorgeous!

    Ciao Valerie! Grazie! So happy you stopped by and left a comment. I am excited to have found your blog now too! I like your description of the clouds “banging against the mountains and falling to the sea.” That is perfect! And, oh my, the sunsets are glorious!

    Ciao Chuck! Glad to hear the weather is so lovely for you in Arizona. I hope it keeps up! My family in Nebraska has been telling me about the unusually warm weather there. I love that part of the movie… always makes me smile! 🙂

This morning I said my goodbyes to Bruno Catalano’s “Travelers” on my morning walk. Tomorrow I’m off to be a traveler myself and they’ll likely be gone by the time I’m back. They’ve been good company, but it’s time for them to move on to their next destination. 🧳

I’m back! After some time in the USA with family I’m back! After some time in the USA with family, I’m back home in Amalfi and adjusting to the time with my usual early morning walks. What’s not usual is that there are so many people out and about now compared to when I left in July. At 7:30am this morning there were already people set up at the beach to get those first sun rays that you can see just hitting the beach. Very clever! The water is so clear and pretty in the morning. I enjoy watching the changes that come throughout the season. This morning there were two guys tossing a football on the beach. That was unexpected! 🏈
