A huge boulder unleashed by a landslide in northern Italy narrowly missed a farmhouse, destroyed a barn and came to a stop in a vineyard. A second boulder stopped just feet behind the traditional stone farmhouse in the rocky region of Alto-Adige. The surreal sight was captured in a series of dramatic photographs. Nobody was injured in the boulders' tumble from mountains overlooking the village of Ronchi di Termeno, news reports said. Some other boulders from the Jan. 21 landslide blocked roads.

Looks from the boulder in the 5th pic that happened before.

Some of those boulders are new and some are old.
