A completely dark street scene early yesterday evening, on the day before Easter Sunday, turned into a truly black Saturday thanks to the power cut caused by Storm Dave. Houses in the dark on the left, the road wet from the rain, the sun setting between the trees in the distance and a single pole with electricity cables on the right.

⚡️ 🍳

Last night, #StormDave actually passed through quite quickly, causing only a brief power cut of 1 hour. It made for a truly #BlackSaturday.

I look out of the train window. To the left, I can see the window frame and the reflection in the glass. The sky is sunny with the occasional cloud as I leave the platform and the city’s buildings behind me.

It is peaceful as you stroll through one of the small villages on Monte Isola. Steps lead down the hill, past old houses right by the water. Enjoy the silence and the view of Lake Iseo and the hill on the mainland opposite
