A congested marina that appeared to be crammed full of commercial fishing boats ( of all sizes ) and other vessels.

Long exposure shot of fishing nets in Alberoni - Venice's disticntive San marco's clock tower is clearly visible in the distance to the right of the picture
These fishing nets from the boat "Cirrus" are tightly wound up on a wheel. One can imagine how far they might stretch into the sea when deployed.

This shot outside of Senise captures one of Basilicata’s in fact Italy’s most important tree the olive and perhaps my most favorite tree to enjoy viewing over the centuries that these trees live they come to resemble life size bonsai trees to me. How did the olive come by its name you ask, well the Latin word for oil is oliva and since its cultivation in Italy the olive has produced oil for industrial use, lighting, cooking and just plain old consumption.
Olives come in two colors green and black but they are not different varieties, the difference being that green olives are unripe and black ripe but whatever the color olives are not a vegetable but a fruit that surrounds a seed. There are olive trees alive today that are over 2000 years old and man has been using its bounty for millennia before, it takes patience to grow olives the trees take about 15 years to mature before they will bear any fruit.
Olive trees can grow to be 15m high but since the fruit is mostly harvested by hand collecting the fallen fruit in fine mesh nets nobody wants a tree that tall so lots of pruning and shaping takes place over the course of a trees lifetime to maximize the fruit that will be produced. No other fruit other than the grape can say it influenced the development of civilization to the extent of the olive tree, it has been mankind’s long companion in the kitchen and a workhorse in the field.

The nets themselves are in fact not coloured. The vibrant colours come from so-called “vispluis” (Dutch word). Vispluis, only used in Holland and Belgium, (translation: +/- fishing fluff) is the name used for the orange, green or blue plastic threads that are placed in bunches under bottom fishing nets. The bunches of plastic threads act as a buffer between the bottom and the net, protecting the net from wear.
