Rainy Days in Amalfi Town

 

Ciao Amalfi Coast Blog Rain Fountain

 

On a perfect sunny day, this fountain near the waterfront in Amalfi of two figures huddling under an umbrella might seem a little out of place. Today, as the rain poured down, these two seemed to fit right in with all the Amalfitans and tourists huddling under umbrellas nearby. The water poured down off the umbrellas, ran down the streets and into the rough sea.

It’s not just maltempo, or bad weather, that has arrived in Amalfi. Over the last week winter arrived! Or, at least, Amalfi has packed up its summer feel and stored it away for next year. In the course of one week, all the small boats that line the harbor have been removed, as well as the temporary docks they build every summer. And just in time before the rough seas came! Here’s a short video from Amalfi today:

 

 

Amalfi in the rain and during the winter months has a different sort of beauty, but is nonetheless striking. Today reminded me of that and made me look forward to the coming months.

    The sea looks rough, but it can still bring magical moments, I love the sound of it. Not too rough though!

    Ciao Anne! Yes, the sea is certainly magical here year round. I just can't believe it wasn't long ago that I was swimming at that beach!

    Ciao Chuck! I love the sound of the sea when it is rough. I could watch it for hours. Glad you enjoyed!

    Ciao Linda Lou! I second that! 🙂 I love the change of seasons and the different times of the year here. There is always something different to see!

A spectacular view of a truly spectacular place as A spectacular view of a truly spectacular place as I flew out of Naples yesterday morning. A little bit delayed due to Winter Storm Olive in the midwest, but I was greeted in central Nebraska by blue skies and flocks of Sandhill cranes and snow geese. “Oh, to love what is lovely” as Mary Oliver wrote about that joyful experience of seeing snow geese golden in a sunny sky. ✨

Non Amalfi Coast question. Do you wake up in the m Non Amalfi Coast question. Do you wake up in the morning with music or a song in your head? I do nearly every morning and it’s curious to me what shows up. Usually it’s something I’ve been listening to, but sometimes it’s really random, like someone’s left the music room door slightly ajar in the brain. This morning it was a jaunty version of “Loch Lomond” from the 1940s sung by Maxine Sullivan. (You’d think that would be from the random category but I actually listened to it yesterday.) So that’s what was swinging about in my head as I took a walk early this morning. 🎶

Musing On The Roaring Ocean
by Robert Burns

Musing on the roaring ocean, 
Which divides my love and me; 
Wearying heav’n in warm devotion, 
For his weal where’er he be. 

Hope and Fear’s alternate billow 
Yielding late to Nature’s law, 
Whispering spirits round my pillow, 
Talk of him that’s far awa. 

Ye whom sorrow never wounded, 
Ye who never shed a tear, 
Care-untroubled, joy-surrounded, 
Gaudy day to you is dear. 

Gentle night, do thou befriend me, 
Downy sleep, the curtain draw; 
Spirits kind, again attend me, 
Talk of him that’s far awa!
