Decima Malafede in November

A month ago I started a Phd in Ecology at the University of Pavia. For this reason at the moment I have stopped working as ranger, my main job, in the Natural Reserve of Decima Malafede. It is an area very close to Rome with small woods and large cultivated fields. The pictures below are shooted in autumn during my last days there.
The blood spot on the leave is the blood of a wild boar injured by a poacher.







Autumn in a silver birch wood

This is a nice place near Rome where sometimes I used to have a walk in autumn. Is an old volcanic area and in November is wet and full of mushrooms and small animals. The name of this place is "Manziana's caldara".
