I will leave at 7; here in upper Piedmont, it will still be dead of night. I will have to use my headlamp for the first kilometers of today’s excursion, climbing towards the thick blanket of snow that fell in the past few days. Cold... but what shining beauty... To warm up and prepare myself properly this morning, I am listening to a classic that always does me good, very well... Joy Division - 1979 - Unknown Pleasures
