Summer in the Countryside!

Just a while ago, I went for a short bike ride around the countryside. I'm surprised by the beauty of summer. The fields are golden although the red poppies are dying.




Fields of gold

I picked some chamomile flowers for a sweet tea.

Sikh Festival in Italy

Last April, the Indian community from Punjab celebrated their Sikh festival. It's an annual celebration attended by hundreds of people.

Rose petals were thrown from a helicopter during the middle of the feast.


People from other religions can also participate in the celebration and are invited to eat inside their temple.
