A Midsummer Night

My friend Flavio fell in love with a mountainous region somewhere in the backwaters of Switzerland. So he decided to rent an old mountain farm house to escape from his stressful urban life.

Of course we couldn't let him enjoy the silence and so we visited him for a long midsummer night weekend.
