Roero’s awakening

Today Roero is a recognized wine-making area of Piedmont along with its neighbors Langhe and Monferrato; but Roero region is also known for its fruits production.

Therefore during springtime the landscape dominated by orchards changes really rapidly starting from amazing blossom and flowers of all kinds of fruit trees: pears, peaches, apples, apricot, and plums.

Here we have some photos I took when I went there for a walk trying to get pictures of the blossom colors but regretfully the light was quite terrible, plus I got also an overexposed development of my film done by some really unprofessional company.
It seams that due to the digital photography revolution, really few shops are still able to develop and print correctly a film. Luckily it was one of my last job using films and my old and glorious Canon EOS 300.
