Borgo Parrini is a small fraction of the municipality of Partinico, in the province of Palermo, characterized by colorful houses decorated in full Gaudì style.
The name derives from the fact that the fields around Partinico were bought by the Jesuit fathers in the 1500s. The name parrini, in fact, in Sicilian means priests.
So it was an area managed by the religious consisting of a small country church and a convent around which, later, the village arose with lodgings for the settlers and agricultural labourers.
In 1767, then, this village became the property of the French prince Henri d'Orleans who set up a farm for the production of a wine that soon became much appreciated and sought after. After the Second World War many of the inhabitants preferred to move to the city and the village remained almost uninhabited and therefore began its inevitable decline.
Today very few people live there who, however, in the last ten years have decided to give the village a new life. A local entrepreneur had the intuition to make it an unusual place and started a renovation of the houses in the style of the Catalan artist Gaudì.
The facades of the houses are colored with bright colors and writings, the walls have mosaic decorations and colorful tiles and the small village has become a very popular place for travellers.

Borgo Parrini è una piccola frazione del comune di Partinico, nella provincia di Palermo, caratterizzato da casette colorate e decorate in pieno stile Gaudì.
Il nome deriva dal fatto che i campi intorno a Partinico nel 1500 furono acquistati dai padri Gesuiti. Il nome parrini, infatti, in siciliano significa proprio preti .Quindi era un’area gestita dai religiosi costituita da una piccola chiesa di campagna e un convento attorno a cui, in seguito, sorse il borgo con gli alloggi per i coloni e i braccianti agricoli.
Nel 1767, poi, questo borgo divenne proprietà del principe francese Henri d’Orleans che vi impiantò una azienda agricola per la produzione di un vino che presto divenne molto apprezzato e ricercato. Dopo la seconda guerra mondiale molti degli abitanti preferirono trasferirsi in città e il borgo rimase quasi disabitato e quindi iniziò la sua inevitabile decadenza.
Oggi vi abitano pochissime persone che, tuttavia, negli ultimi dieci anni, hanno deciso di dare al borgo una nuova vita. Un imprenditore locale ha avuto l’intuizione di renderlo un luogo insolito e ha avviato una ristrutturazione delle case secondo lo stile dell’artista catalano Gaudì.
Le facciate delle case sono colorate con tinte vivaci e scritte, i muri recano decorazioni a mosaico e piastrelle variopinte e il piccolo borgo è diventato un luogo molto visitato dai viaggiatori.

Perdrix Grise
Cette perdrix est essentiellement aujourd'hui trouvée sur des milieux ouverts, . Elle était autrefois largement présentes en Amérique du Nord et est encore commune dans certaines régions du sud du Canada Et du nord des États-Unis. Les femelles peuvent pondre jusqu'à vingt œufs dans un nid construit au sol, souvent en marge d'un champ de céréales . Comme beaucoup dans cette famille, c'est un oiseau non-migrateurs (sédentaire) terrestre, qui vit en petites bandes, sauf en saison de reproduction. Elle peut effectuer de petites migrations locales pour fuir une météorologie difficile avant de regagner son habitat.

Grey partridge
This partridge breeds on farmland across most of Europe into western Asia, and has been introduced widely into North America and are quite common in some areas of southern Canada and the northern United States. Hens lay up to twenty eggs in a ground nest. The nest is usually in the margin of a cereal field, most commonly Winter wheat. It is a non-migratory terrestrial species, which forms flocks outside the breeding season.
La Scala dei Turchi est une paroi rocheuse (falaise) sur la côte près de Realmonte, dans la province d'Agrigente.
Elle est devenue avec le temps une attraction touristique, à la fois à cause de l'aspect singulier des écueils aux couches inclinées et de couleur blanche, et de la mention dans les romans du commissaire Montalbano d'Andrea Camilleri.
La Scala dei Turchi présente une forme ondulée et irrégulière, aux lignes arrondies et adoucies.
Elle est constituée de marne, une roche sédimentaire calcaire, de couleur caractéristique blanc pur. Elle s'érige entre deux plages de sable fin.
Le nom (« escalier des Turcs ») vient des incursions de pirates sarrasins, donc arabes, mais appelés « turcs » par la population locale. Ils y trouvaient un abri contre les bourrasques de vent et un abordage plus sûr.
La Scala dei Turchi is a rock face (cliff) on the coast near Realmonte, in the province of Agrigento.
It has become over time a tourist attraction, both because of the singular aspect of the pitches with inclined layers and white in color, and the mention in novels of Commissioner Montalbano by Andrea Camilleri.
The Scala dei Turchi has an undulating and irregular shape, with rounded and softened lines.
It consists of marl, a limestone sedimentary rock, of characteristic pure white color. It stands between two sandy beaches.
The name (“staircase of the Turks”) comes from the incursions of Saracen pirates, therefore Arab, but called “Turkish” by the local population. They found shelter there from the gusts of wind and a more secure collision.

Ecosystème entre mer et montagnes, le parc de Saleccia veut devenir un site-témoin de la mise en valeur environnementale et botanique de la flore locale. Ouvert en 2005 avec une superficie de 7 hectares il est dédié à la Corse, au pourtour méditerranéen et aux autres parties du monde à climat méditerranéen (Australie, Nouvelle Zélande, Californie et Afrique du Sud).
La flore corse représente 2172 espèces spontanées du fait de son isolement. L’île possède plus de 130 espèces endémiques en raison de la grande diversité de climats liée à son relief du méditerranéen le plus chaud jusqu’à l’Alpin.
Ecosystem between sea and mountains, the Saleccia park wants to become a site-witness of the environmental and botanical development of the local flora. Opened in 2005 with an area of 7 hectares, it is dedicated to Corsica, the Mediterranean region and other parts of the world with a Mediterranean climate (Australia, New Zealand, California and South Africa).
The Corsican flora represents 2172 spontaneous species due to its isolation. The island has more than 130 endemic species due to the great diversity of climates linked to its relief from the warmest Mediterranean to the Alpine.
A picture I shot when life wasn't as crazy. This area in Portland features buildings of an earlier time. Portland is known for their love of a good book. Powell's Books is a well-known dealer for book addicts. But only Cameron's Books & Magazines gets to boast the title of oldest bookstore in town. Established in 1938.

Dopo la pausa pranzo ci aspetta un piacevole intermezzo. Parcheggiate le carrozze passeggeri a Villars-sur-Ollon, la HGe 4/4 accoppia tre carri merci per una breve escursione fino a Barboleuse e ritorno. Un treno merci locale di altri tempi che viene fotografato dal gruppo di interessati sull’Avenue de Arveyes una prima volta.
Nach der Mittagspause erwartet uns ein angenehmes Intermezzo. Nachdem die Personenwagen in Villars-sur-Ollon abgestellt wurden, kuppelt die HGe 4/4 drei Güterwagen für einen kurzen Ausflug nach Barboleuse und zurück. Ein lokaler Güterzug aus einer anderen Zeit wird von der interessierten Gruppe auf der Avenue de Arveyes zum ersten Mal fotografiert.
Nikon D500, Sigma 150-600mm Sports lens, 850mm, f/9, 1/400, ISO 1400, Sigma TC-1401. A "near threatened" coastal diving duck that is an uncommon sighting for my locale.
About the only thing carried over from 1954 Chevrolet was the dependable stovebolt Six cylinder engine, the wheelbase and the model names.
The wonderfully textured surface of the Mesquite Dunes, warmed by sunrise light, leads the eye south toward the rugged Panamint Mountains, Death Valley National Park, California. Clumps of Creosote Bush (Larrea tridentata) and bright fractured geometric hardpan deposits are visible in the foreground hollow.
I read that following the recent government shutdown, which happened to occur during the height of Death Valley's tourist season, the Park was heavily visited nonetheless. Without Park Ranger supervision, it turns out that some of these intrepid individuals began feeding wild coyotes for entertainment. Perhaps more distressingly, when Rangers finally returned they catalogued over 1,500 deposits of human feces in and around the more oft-visited locales. Whatever else can be said about America, we sure know how to keep it classy.
Walking for exercise during lockdown, camera in hand, capturing passing movements.
A modicum of colour, deliberately muted, on today's walk that required a face-full-of-dirt prone position - but not for long.
No lingering allowed they say, which begs the question, just how long is a linger?
Happy to find some bluebells in the near vicinity albeit a skinny patch.
