Our theme for our  Life In Abruzzo January photography competition was ‘January sun’ with its spectacular low sun silvery gold hues against powder skies that brighten and cheer up down days.  For those wondering what January is like in Abruzzo check these out from the members of our Social Club.  This is our private Fb group, do join us if you want to submit a photo for our February, it’s free!
