Imagine seeing this boulder coming down the mountain towards you. This happened in an Italian village, the result of a landslide.  |

Man alive, that was a near miss!
Its in the glacial valley north of Trento. Most likely the result of soil erosion but possibly a little "shake" as the Eurasian plate subducts under its smaller Adriatic neighbour?

Yes brilliant but there is no snow on it, it would make a superb Snow Man.

More photos on: www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-25975251How do you remove a rock that size from so close to the property - or do you simply leave it there and route the access road around it? Clearly, not the first time a landslide has brought a boulder down onto this farm, judging by the one already part of the vineyard field. |
