In the Rungg Place

On January 27, 2014 boulders tumbled into a vineyard in Rungg-Ronchi, South Tyrol, in the gewurtztraminer country. The one on the left demolished a barn on its way through. A second one stopped on the road right at the front door of that house. The large blueish boulder in front is from an earlier avalanche.
