Un altra inquadratura "classica" dalla linea del Ponente ligure per questo Intercity Milano-Ventimiglia affidato all'immancabile E444 ed ad una delle nuove composizioni "degradate" frecciabianca. (3/5/16)
Back from a brief trip to paradise… Northern Italy and the Alps. Managed to snap a few pics during this “traveler’s tour,’ which is always a challenge since nobody waits for tripod users; hence all shots are handheld.
Dolomites mountain group is in the eastern section of the northern Italian Alps, The range comprises a number of impressive peaks, 18 of which rise to more than 10,000 feet. The highest point is the Marmolada (10,964 feet, the southern face of which consists of a precipice 2,000 feet high.
The range and its characteristic rock take their name from the 18th-century French geologist Dieudonné Dolomieu, who made the first scientific study of the region and its geology.
Geologically, the mountains are formed of light-colored dolomitic limestone, which erosion has carved into grotesque shapes. The resulting landforms include jagged, saw-edged ridges, rocky pinnacles, screes (pebble deposits) of limestone debris, deep gorges, and numerous steep rock faces at relatively low levels.
Glaciated features occur at higher levels; 41 glaciers lie in the region. Many of the lower and more gentle scree slopes were once forested; only patches of woodland remain, however, interspersed with grassy meadows.

Diano Marina is a village on the Italian riviera or also called flower riviera. In 1887, Diano was almost completely destroyed by an earthquake. Therefore, many houses have a "modern" architecture and no longer contribute to the typical idyllic architecture that we tourists from the north imagine from Italian fishing villages

February in the Italian Gardens, Trentham Park, Staffordshire.
The statues of Perseus and Medusa can be seen at the far end, by the lake. In the far distance, on the hill, the monument to the Duke Of Sutherland can be seen more clearly . The name of the woods surrounding the monument is Kings Wood, an ISSI and an ancient woodland. The gardens at Trentham Hall were designed by Capability Brown 1716 - 1783.
A sunny but chilly day for our walk around the lake. The circular lakeside walk is a distance of over two miles. It takes you aside the River Trent, by the bird hide, through the cascading weir, past the Lakeside Cafe, along atmospheric woodland trails and through the annual meadow with giant dandelion sculptures. Plus numerous fairy sculptures and wooden carvings to see along the way.

The Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II is one of the world's oldest shopping malls. Housed within a four-story double arcade in central Milan, the Galleria is named after Victor Emmanuel II, the first king of the Kingdom of Italy [Wikipedia].
Alcuni angoli del mio paesello sono di assoluta bellezza, una "bomboniera", al crepuscolo, il piccolo giardino di Palazzo Pompei, con gli agapanthus in fiore e gli alberelli di arancio amaro (Citrus × sinensis). Sullo sfondo uno scorcio del millenario Castello medievale.
Cari amici vi abbraccio tutti augurandovi un meraviglioso weekend :))
