Neptune Beach.
Same beach as last post, different perspective.
The grass was moving gracefully with a lovely breeze.
Enjoy a wonderful Sunday and week ahead.
The Neptune Fountain at one end of the Great Parterre of Schonbrunn Palace, Vienna, Austria.
Designed as the crowning element of the Great Parterre, and sited at the foot of the hill behind the palace is the Neptune Fountain, which was conceived as part of the overall design of the gardens and park commissioned by Maria Theresa in the 1770s.
Under the direction of court architect Johann Ferdinand Hetzendorf von Hohenberg, excavations for the basin were started in 1776, and work was completed four years later, just before the death of the empress. It was very probably designed by Hetzendorf von Hohenberg, while the sculptural group of Sterzing marble was executed by Wilhelm Beyer.
A retaining wall curving back into the slope of the hill, its balustrade crowned with vases, forms the back wall of the vast basin.
At the centre the wall is interrupted by a projecting, semi-oval plinth from which rises a rocky landscape peopled with the sea-god Neptune and his entourage.
The retaining wall and plinth are articulated by blind panels, those on the plinth being decorated with masks, while the vertical elements separating them are embellished with garlands.
At the centre of the figural group above a rocky grotto stands Neptune in a shell-shaped chariot, his trident in his hand. To his left is a nymph, while on his right kneels the sea-goddess Thetis, entreating Neptune to favour the voyage of her son, Achilles, who has set off to conquer Troy. Frolicking at the foot of the grotto are the Tritons, creatures who are half-man and half-fish, and belong to Neptune’s entourage.
They hold conch shell trumpets with which they can inspire fear in both man and beast, and are restraining the hippocampi or sea-horses who draw Neptune’s chariot across the seas.
Neptune driving across the seas in dominion over the watery element is a common motif in sixteenth- to eighteenth-century art, being used as a symbol for monarchs controlling the destiny of their nations.
The figural group was originally free-standing, but a screen of trees was planted behind it during the nineteenth century in order to provide it with an effective foil.
In the background can be seen a 60-metre-high (200 ft) hill, which since 1775 has been crowned by the Gloriette structure.
The Gloriette was destroyed in the Second World War, but had already been restored by 1947 and was restored again in 1995.
The Gloriette today houses a café and an observation deck which provides panoramic views of Vienna.

I have more of this fascinating swimming pool to add from our visit to Hearst Castle in San Simeon, California. It is the most striking outdoor pool I have ever seen. Easy to imagine movie stars such as Clark Gable and Marion Davies here.

Il titolo che ho trovato mi piace più della foto (di archivio). Una strana bicicletta per le vie di Caorle... oggi spero di andare un po' a zonzo, pioggia permettendo :D

The Neptune Fountain, one of the most famous fountains in Berlin today was not initially meet with approval: the emperor Wilhelm I did not like it. The young sculptor Reinhold Begas submitted a first design as early as 1880, but construction did not begin until after the death of Wilhelm I. The fountain has only been at its current location opposite the Red City Hall since 1969; it originally stood in front of the Berlin Palace. Inspired by the sculptor's trip to Italy, the structure depicts the eponymous sea god among four women.

The Copernicus crater in the center of the image. Next to it, the Carpatus Mountains and, higher up, the Erathostenes crater. The almost imperceptible outline of the Stadius, towards the end of Erthostenes towards Copernicus, and Sinus Aestuum complete the lunar landscape.
