Meran or Merano is a city and comune in South Tyrol, northern Italy. Generally best known for its spa resorts, it is located within a basin, surrounded by mountains standing up to 3,335 metres (10,942 feet) above sea level, at the entrance to the Passeier Valley and the Vinschgau.
In the past, the city has been a popular place of residence for several scientists, literary people, and artists, including Franz Kafka, Ezra Pound, Paul Lazarsfeld, and also Empress Elisabeth of Austria, who appreciated its mild climate. Meran is on the borderline between several climates. Officially, it has an oceanic climate. However, it is close to being humid subtropical due to the mean temperature in July being just under 22 °C; even on those terms, the overnight lows in the winter bring the mean temperatures low enough for the city as a whole to have continental influences with more distinct seasons.
The area is well known for its wines, both white and red, and vineyards extend right into the city. The local wine, Meraner Leiten (Meranese di collina), is a light red wine, best drunk young. There are also extensive orchards, and apples are exported throughout Europe. The Forst Brewery on the edge of the city produces a popular range of beers, sold throughout northern Italy.

The Azores Islands are a land of many wonders of the world. São Miguel island offers endless opportunities to be amazed at countless natural wonders, and is considered by many as one of the most beautiful places in the world. This walking tour explores quite a dramatic location: Farol do Arnel – Arnel Lighthouse.
At the end of an extremely steep narrow road, and suspended above the Atlantic Ocean, Arnel is São Miguel’s oldest lighthouse and was inaugurated on the 26th of November 1876. As we go down the steep route, stunning views over the strong Atlantic Ocean can be seen on either side of the road, until an unexpected and flabbergasting waterfall bursts from the high cliffs, right in front of our eyes, when we approach one of the many road’s curves.
This walking tour in Açores ends down at the bottom of the cliff and the waterfall, past the Farol do Arnel lighthouse, and quite close to the very strong big waves that were coming that day.
Dew point is the temperature where air becomes saturated with water vapour. When difference between dew point and air temperature is less than 2.5 degrees centigrade, the air condenses into water droplets, which we see as fog.
This film was born from my love of fog and mist, and how it can transform landscape from ordinary to mysterious. It has footage from fifteen different morning when I had to wake up stupidly early and drive around to find location where the fog appears, and wasn’t too thick.
At least same amount of early mornings was spent coming home empty handed, due to fog either not appearing or being too thick and not being able to find high enough ground. Weather forecasts are pretty good nowadays, but not hundred percent accurate.
Filmed in various location in north Yorkshire and Cumbria.
