SPILIMBERGO
LA CHIESETTA DELL'ANCONA
Scendendo dalla Piazza del Duomo verso il Tagliamento, si trova a metà costa, la Chiesetta dell’Ancona.
Il titolo originario della chiesa, legato alla tradizione, è quella di Santa Sabbata (santa Sabida), una santa inesistente riconducibile a culti precristiani, legati ai corsi dei fiumi. Già nel 1597, però, l'Ancona viene dedicata alla Madonna della Mercede (venerata il 24 settembre) pregata come protettrice dalle insidie del guado del Tagliamento.
Oggi la chiesa, molto semplice e sobria, poggia su una pianta regolare e si presenta con un'unica aula. Esternamente è possibile ammirare un grazioso portichetto sorretto da cinque colonne e a metà dei lato sinistro si innalza il campanile. All'interno si trova un altare in marmi policromi e un affresco di fine Quattrocento raffigurante la Madonna con Bambino e due angíoletti.
In questo luogo si incontravano dunque mercanti e pellegrini, poiché sorgeva su un passaggio obbligato per attraversare il guado del Tagliamento, dopo aver pagato un dazio, raggiungere poi Gemona, Venzone e proseguire verso le Germanie.
Per coloro che entravano a Spilimbergo attraversato il guado, era il tempio dove pregare la Madonna per la protezione accordata e lo scampo dai pericoli, allora frequenti: perdita dei carico, ferite, annegamenti.
E' per questo motivo che qui venivano deposti gli ex voto, tavolette dipinte di gusto popolare, forma di ringraziamento e di devozione (ora raccolti e conservati nell'archivio parrocchiale).
Era dunque un punto d'incontro, di scambi commerciali e di preghiera.
Nel 1687 l'Ancona venne ampliata con una loggia, al fine di ospitare il numero sempre più grande di fedeli, che si riunivano.
Successivamente venne restaurata e ampliata più volte fino al 1968, quando venne inaugurata; nel 1976 venne distrutta dal terremoto e finalmente nel 1978 riacquistò l'antico splendore.
Per la sua bellezza e la sua posizione panoramica sul Tagliamento, l'Ancona è per antonomasia considerata a livello locale la chiesetta degli innamorati.

Calgary - Alberta
Canada
Designed by Santiago Calatrava
The bridge was built by The City of Calgary to connect the southern Bow River pathway and Downtown Calgary with the northern Bow River pathway and the community of Sunnyside. This connection was designed to accommodate the increasing number of people commuting to and from work and those utilizing Calgary's pathways.
I was fascinated by the Peace Bridge and because my hotel was right behind the Shaw building I could go there anytime I wanted...:-))

This cut-leaf beech was, and still is, my favourite tree in our local park. I've taken many pictures of it in the past, when its beautiful boughs almost touched the ground, making a splendid shape.
Recently, the 'Management' decided to cut off the lower branches, drastically reducing its magnificence and majesty. They will never, ever grow back. This is what is left. Still beautiful, still majestic, in all its autumnal glory. But .... it just isn't 'right' now. Many feel so sad - and remember the way it used to be, before they injured it.
One of only two cut-leaf beeches in the park.
A picture of this beauty taken in 2010 is in the first comment box.
Thank you, Kerstin Frank and Lenabem-Anna for your beautiful textures.

Situata a Ponta de S. Lourenço, la penisola più orientale dell'isola è stata nominata dagli esploratori quando hanno scoperto l'isola, dopo la caravella di Joao Gonçalves Zarco.
Il belvedere della Baía d´Abra offre una vista spettacolare su Ponta de S. Lourenço e la sua costa, dal profilo irregolare dovuto all'erosione provocata dal vento e dall'acqua sui vari materiali vulcanici, con vista sulle coste settentrionali e meridionali del isola.

The days go by, through the brief silence of winter, when the sunshine is so still and pure, like iced wine, and the dead leaves gleam brown, and water sounds hoarse in the ravines.
