Coming from Santa Maria Di Leuca is another wonderful drive through the countryside, but who am I kidding pretty much any drive off the highway through the backroads of Puglia will leave you wanting more but the urban areas have their charms as well, welcome to Gallipoli The Pearl of the Ionian Sea originally founded by Greeks who named it Kallipolli meaning gorgeous city and they were not kidding.
Captured here is the city beach of Gallipoli enclosed by the ramparts of the city walls and cozy beyond description, the beach also goes by other names, Purità, Cala Puritate, Seno della Purità all taking their cue from the beaches closest neighbor the church dedicated to Saint Maria of Purity and ensuring that the town keeps the beach living up to its name, it is immaculately kept.
Gallipoli is divided into two parts the old town and the new town, the old town where this shot was taken is located on an island that is connected to the new town by a 16th century bridge, the city was once a busy port in the 18th century and was a hub for exported olive oil shipped all over Europe for commercial use as lamp oil, Gallipoli now is a sleepy fishing town of around 35,000 inhabitants that derives most of its income from tourism.

For the most part, Conrail’s GP15-1’s were relegated to local and yard service, and they rarely appeared on road freights. Here a pair of them bracket a GP38-2 on train ALCA (Allentown – Camden) at Monocacy, Pennsylvania.
Lustige Begegnung auf "hoher See". Bei unserem Ausflugsschiff waren die Kassenrollen zum Abkassieren der Getränke ausgegangen und so mussten wir ein Päckchen von einem anderen Schiff übernehmen. Für viele Touristen ein zusätzliches Erlebnis während des 1-stündigen Hafentörns.

They say “Feet of clay” is an expression now commonly used to refer to a weakness or character flaw but in Aliano this is not an expression of the people that live here but of the land they live on. The feeling of an alien landscape is a common one for visitors here, the rolling landscape is made of clay which has shaped by the wind and water to make a set of badlands to be envied by most desserts.
THE Calanchi di Aliano are a cathedral of solitude, white walls, silence and emptiness are on offer as you walk , hike, bike or horseback ride through this lunar landscape. One of the best trails to discover this wonderfully weird world is the “Santarcangiolese”, the peasant witch you can imagine the moonlight casting the landscape into a magical land full of fantastic legends about brigands, fairies, werewolves and witches wandering through this terrain.
Aliano sits a high rise of sand surrounded by hills of clay making the resulting views from the village a wonder of pyramids, white clay gorges all interspersed with the verdant greens olive and citrus groves. All of this highly erodible land makes for poor foundations which a fairly recent earthquake in the 1980’s has proven in the town and they are still rebuilding a lot of the older buildings back to what they once were.

If you are shooting landscapes some spots are not just a onetime encounter but a long term relationship, most likely if it is local you will shoot it several times a year in a lot of light levels and in many different seasons.
This shot is one I return to every autumn it sits at the entrance to a persons driveway on a dirt road section of a roadway called Garden of Eden in Renfrew county and it is home to some heavenly scenes so the name fits the location opportunities, at least for me.
So far I have been lucky when visiting this relic and have yet to be shot but the ghost of Christmas past that is driving this heap continuously gives me the creeps but all this goes into making an interesting shot location that I return to annually.

Farøbroerne – wenn man in Dänemark von der Fähre Gedser oder Rodby kommt und über der Autobahn E47/55 in Richtung Kopenhagen rollt, dann fährt man über diese Brücke. Man bewundert dieses Bauwerk und auch, wenn möglich, die so schöne Landschaft rund um die Insel Farø. Die Brückenquerung besteht aus zwei Teilen – der imposanten Südbrücke (Spannseilbrücke) und der Nordbrücke (Balkenbrücke). Die Länge der gesamten Brückenanlage beträgt 1.726 Meter.
Zwischen den beiden Brückenteilen kann man von der Autobahn zu einem Rastplatz fahren und hat dann den Blick auf dieses beeindruckende Bauwerk.
Allen Freunden einen schönen Dienstag gewünscht.

Alberobello a Truli wonderful town made a UNESCO heritage site in 1996 and really has not been discovered by the masses like a lot of Italian wonders, most of the tourists are visiting from Europe and even if it has been commercialized somewhat it is still is a beautiful place with the highest concentration of Truli in the Puglian region.
How did this building design come to be you ask? Well legend has it that the Lord of the land in the 1500’s in order to avoid paying property tax to the King had his citizens build these homes as dry fit mortarless constructions so that they could be disassembled and moved or hidden when the tax assessor came into the region keeping his tax bill low, I am not so sure this would put him in good graces with his subjects but such is the way of life.
Most of the Truli in Alberobello have been turned into stores, restaurants, souvenir stands and accommodations for those that want a Truli authentic overnight experience this scene is on the main tourist drag catching the last of the days sunlight while a laid back shop keeper watches over the last of the visitors looking to fill their bags with the local kitsch before the sun goes down.

Located at the entrance of Chek Jawa, the visitor centre was converted from a Tudor-style house built in the 1930s. Fondly known as House No. 1 (its postal address in Ubin), the building was awarded conservation status by the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) in December 2003, and was carefully restored.
One of the unique features of the house is its original fireplace, which is probably the only one left in Singapore. The fireplace is no longer in use and is closed off as a family of Pouched Tomb bats (Saccholaimus saccholaimus) currently reside in the chimney of the house. Another rare species of Malayan False Vampire bats (Megaderma spasma) can also be found in an old water tower just beside the house. The water tower and the bats were not disturbed, and a new water tank was constructed for use instead.
The ground level of the visitor centre houses showcase information panels and interpretive displays that depict the history and beauty of the natural heritage in Chek Jawa.
