The farmhouse Poggio Amorelli owned by the couple Adriana and Marco Mazzarrini is located in one of the most beautiful area in Chianti, near to the village of Castellina in Chianti and one of part of the wineyards are also in Maremma, near the village of Magliana in Tuscany.

It embraces 40 hectars land; 15 hectars of wineyard specialized in the production of Chianti Classico DOCG, Gallo Nero and of Morellino di Scansano DOCG.

 

The Wine production started in 1987, but only in 1995, with the restoration of the wine cellar and with the change in equipments for the wine production, the products started in receiving awards for its quality.

The wines are sold both on the national market as also in foreign countries, majority in Germany and USA.

Sunset over Danube in Regensburg (Ratisbona)

 

Sonnenuntergang über der Donau in Regensburg

Cette photo a été inspirée par le vide totale de la rue tout juste après minuit, donc on pouvait tout se permettre sans aucune précipitation.

Τα Κορέστεια είναι μια ιστορική περιοχή της Δυτικής Μακεδονίας. Πρόκειται για μια συστάδα ορεινών οικισμών (Άνω και Κάτω Κρανιώνα, Χάλαρα, Άνω και Κάτω Μελάς, Μακροχώρι, Μαυρόκαµπος, Άγιος Αντώνιος, Γάβρος) που παρουσιάζουν έντονο αρχιτεκτονικό και πολιτισμικό ενδιαφέρον. Η παραδοσιακή αρχιτεκτονική των χωριών είναι ιδιαίτερη για την περιοχή της Δυτικής Μακεδονίας. Τα παλαιά σπίτια είναι κατασκευασμένα με πλίνθους με κοκκινόχωμα και άχυρο, που δίνουν το κοκκινωπό χρώμα στο τοπίο της περιοχής. Ο τρόπος κατασκευής των σπιτιών διατηρήθηκε έως τα μέσα του 20ου αιώνα και έπειτα εγκαταλείφθηκε.

 

Korestia is a historic region of Western Macedonia in Greece. It’s a cluster of mountain villages (Ano and Kato Kranionas, Halara, Ano and Kato Melas, Makrochori, Mavrokampos, Agios Antonios, Gavros) exhibiting strong architectural and cultural interest. The traditional architecture of the villages is great for the region of Western Macedonia. Old houses are constructed with handmade bricks with red clay and straw, giving a reddish color to the landscape. The construction of the houses was maintained until the mid-20th century and then abandoned.

Just beyond the Falls, the creek continues to flow and ends up in the Mississippi River. There was a conveniently placed rock in the middle of this creek I just had to jump to so i didn't even have to get wet for this one.

 

Minnehaha Creek is a 22-mile-long (35 km) tributary of the Mississippi River that flows east from Gray's Bay Dam on Lake Minnetonka through the suburban cities of Minnetonka, Hopkins, Saint Louis Park, and Edina, and the city of Minneapolis. The creek flows over Minnehaha Falls in Minnehaha Park near its mouth at the Mississippi River.

The Laugavegur is a famous trekking route in South-West Iceland from the hot springs area of Landmannalaugar to the glacial valley of Þórsmörk . It is noted for the wide variety of landscapes on its 55 km (34 mi) path. The route is typically completed over 2–4 days with potential stops at the mountain huts at Hrafntinnusker, Álftavatn, Hvanngil and Emstrur. An ultramarathon is held on the route each July. It is possible to combine the trek with the Fimmvörðuháls route which goes over the pass from Þórsmörk to Skógar for an additional one or two days or an additional 25 km (16 mi). Landmannalaugar, Þórsmörk, and Skógar are all reachable by bus during the summer. A bus from Hella connects with Álftavatn once a day during the summer.

Magic happens at sunset on the flood plains of Chobe Park. The animals can almost hide in the encroaching darkness, but there is always a hint of their presence.

Ein kurzer Lichtblick!

Ich habe sie gesehen - die Sonne! Nach einem grauen Tag heute hat sie sich kurz vor Sonnenuntergang am Himmel gezeigt - bevor die graue Wolkenwand sie wieder verschluckt hat. Hier ist sie - kurz vor ihrem Abschied :-)

Llegó el otoño y la naturaleza nos regala sus colores, su luz, sus nubes. Y lo mas triste, es que el peor enemigo somos los humanos. ¡ respetemos la naturaleza!

 

L'automne arriva et la nature nous donne ses couleurs, sa lumière, ses nuages. Et la chose la plus triste est que le pire ennemi est nous, les humains. Respecter la nature!

I saw the early morning autumn sun shining on this birdhouse... It was just calling to be photographed... I stopped... I obeyed.
