Rallye di Italia Sardegna aftermath

After finishing Sunday’s Tergu-Osilo stage it was time for some beach fun and washing all the dust off the body. The stage is located on Sardegna’s noth coast, the plane next day would leave from Cagliari, located on the south coast. To save time the other day, I went the half way down on Sunday and ended up on the famous white “rice grain” beaches on Sinis peninsula near Oristano. Nice place! Feels like Baltic Sea. Okay, “rice corn” sand is different to the sand at the Baltic Sea, but the perfect light blue water compensates this. Behind the dunes is nothing but a small and nice restaurant. Nothin else, pure nature. Didn’t expect this at the Mediterranean Sea. Perfect end of a great weekend.

Monte Lerno sunrise

The rising morning sun seen from my sleeping spot on Monte Lerno. I think this was the highest point on this stage, which, was probably the longest stage of the 2014 WRC season calendar with an total length of 59,13km. I slept directly at the pass, a few hundred meters behind famous Micky’s Jump. 

The photo shows the marvelous view over the first 30 kilometers of the tage. I never had such a view before. You could see the dust rising from several cars on the stage at the same time and they still needed minutes to reach this spot. Beside having those 3 great spots for doing the photos showed earlier, I also had a view to Micky’s Jump after only a 200m walk through the fields.

This view was a perfect beginning for a day full of rallye action. And imagine: while having this view, I had a breakfast like this one.

Having a closer look


I’m still alive! And my harddisk is full with photos from the last months and I did not find the time to post process them or even to sort them out. Also I have to find a better strategy to merge the different incoming pictures. Instagram, phone, DSLR.
