The Apricale Dog


We are in Apricale, a medieval hill village in Italy - about 28 kilometres from Menton. This dog is walking down the village pretty quickly and I wasn't fast enough - he's slightly blurry in the main photo but you get the feel of him, I think. A hunting dog, nose down, intent on where he's going.

In the small pic you see me attempting to take his photo - this was taken by the delightful Nathalie from Avignon who was visiting for the weekend.

  1. You caught him in stride. Looks like he knows where he's going.

    I have been coming to Apricale for 8 years and I know this dog. Last summer it actually pissed on my jacket which hasn't been the same after. But - he's a nice dog and a good friend. Hope to see him again this summer.
