New on my Pixelfed: Seven photos of the last two days of our summer holiday two years ago. Great memories!

[anecdotal – in the early 1990s, I chose to spend a winter as a ski bum/guide, living in Arabba, Dolomites, Sud Tyrol; I still remember the excellent days when I got to ski on the Marmolada]

“PLAIN LANGUAGE SUMMARY: On 3 July 2022, a portion of the Marmolada glacier, near Punta Rocca, collapsed and caused the death of 11 mountaineers. This dramatic event had a considerable impact on the media, and authorities were concerned about the risk that other collapses might occur in this and other glaciers of the Dolomites, a well-renowned mountain region of the southeastern Alps and one of the UNESCO World Heritage sites. [They] analyzed the possible causes of the collapse by developing a three-dimensional thermo-mechanical model. The analysis concluded that the collapse was caused by increased internal ice temperature and the development of a dense network of fractures, reducing the ice shear strength, with melting water that possibly contributed by increasing the basal pressure. [They] also showed that collapsing conditions can be identified with a simplified model version approximating the sliding basal surface as a plane with a slope equal to the surface slope. The developed approach can be used in hazard identification and risk analysis of mountain glaciers…”

The Alibi of the Olive Tree
Chapter Four
The atmosphere in “La Pagina che Fa le Fusa” turned as cold as the frost on the cobblestones outside. Julian Thorne stood by the solid oak counter, his hands resting in a “perfectly composed façade,” but his green eyes flickered toward the oilskin pouch I held. Behind him, the Three Best Friends—Altea, Anna, and Marisa—remained in their burgundy velvet chairs, their faces masks of “barely contained fury” and “silent shadow”.
The Confrontation of the Ochre Clay
I held up the “tiny, peculiar clump of bright, ochre-colored clay” that Toe had unearthed.
- “Archaeology requires a delicate eye, Julian,” I began, my voice a “calm, smooth stream” that masked my own “underlying tension”.
- “But this clay is ‘entirely different from the dark, rich soil’ of our hills; it is the ‘signature’ of a forger who hides his dye where the ‘earth is youngest'”.
- I pointed to the potted olive tree on the balcony, its “freshly potted” soil still damp from the morning’s mist.
- “You brought this as a gift, claiming it was an ‘ode to tradition,’ but it was merely a ‘distraction’ to hide your ‘forger’s kit’ and the ‘crystalline powder’ used to silence the critic”.
The Secret of the Dagger’s Heart
Julian’s “composure cracked” for a “split second,” a “flicker of fear” crossing his features before he regained his “smooth confidence”.
- He reached for the faded peacock-blue ledger, its silver ink glowing faintly in the “warm and soffusa” light of the shop.
- “You are playing a ‘dangerous game,’ Moira,” he whispered, his voice like “honey being stirred into cream”.
- “The ‘Caramel Gold’ was the key, but the ‘Raven’s Kiss’ is the soul; the ‘answer is not in the metal, but in the heart'”.
- He claimed that the “Blackstone Blade Collection” was a “masterful, beautiful lie,” and that the real “treasure” was a “lost, secret part of the blade” that only the “new art historian” could uncover.
The Feline Verdict
Ashwaganda, the “ginger feline detective,” did not wait for an explanation.
- He let out a “low, inquisitive growl” and leaped onto the counter, his “gold stare” fixed on the “miniature silver raven’s head” Julian had momentarily revealed.
- Toe, the “sleek black shadow,” darted behind the counter to my “old typewriter,” his “nose twitching” at the “faint chemical scent” emanating from Julian’s cloak.
- Their “silent commentary” confirmed my “medical intuition”: the “lullaby of death” was not a “natural cause,” but a “brilliant, almost theatrical crime”.
Ispettore Salomone entered the shop then, his “patient, weary wisdom” evident in every step. He looked from the “forger’s kit” to Julian, his gaze “both professional and compassionate”. “I believe we have found the ‘old fox’ in his ‘youngest earth,’ Ispettore,” I said, as the “autumn sun” dipped below the horizon, promising a “new beginning” for the mysteries of Speranza.
