Deve il nome ai lauri che ricoprivano l’altura.
Laurentum o Castrum Laureti, di origini romane, nel medioevo divenne contea e possesso di vari feudatari.
Nella città vecchia il Castello Chiola, l’Abbazia di San Pietro; la Matrice, chiesa del quattrocento con portale rinascimentale, loggia e trifore romaniche.
Il Palazzo dei baroni Acerbi ospita la Galleria delle Antiche Ceramiche Abruzzesi, con circa 600 pezzi, ed è affiancata da una mostra di antiche stampe.
Il complesso di San Francesco, ex convento del sec. XIII, accoglie il Municipio, il teatro, un Antiquarium, il Museo della Civiltà Contadina.
Poco distante sorge la chiesa di Santa Maria in Piano, edificata dai longobardi, ricostruita nel sec. XIII e restaurata nel 1500, fronte con portico, un campanile del quattrocento ornato con maioliche policrome, portale ogivale con architrave rinascimentale, all’interno affreschi del trecento, il “giudizio universale” nella controfacciata e la “vita di San Tommaso”.
Il lunedì di Pentecoste si svolge la Festa di San Zopito, processione preceduta da un bue bianco addobbato su cui è seduto un bambino in veste d’angelo, mentre uno zampognaro esegue melodie religiose, giungendo alla chiesa il bue si inginocchia.

After
All this time
The Sun never says to the Earth,
"You owe me."
Look
What happens
With a love like that,
It lights the whole sky.”
Go North East's Riverside-based Optare Versa V1170 Hybrid/Optare 9084 (YJ64 DZM), which carries the Go North East's corporate livery, is pictured here at Winlaton Bus Station, Winlaton, whilst on a test run, prior to entering service. 24/01/18
This vehicle was one of two new to Courtney Buses of Finchampstead in September 2014 for the 126 - 129 group of services, operating between Reading, Twyford and Wokingham. Carrying a 'coffee and mint' livery, these two Hybrid Optare Versas continued the 'coffee theme' for services in Wokingham.
Thought to be returned to Optare in April 2015 owing to ongoing reliability issues, the pair have been used by Optare as demonstration/loan vehicles since. This example is thought not to have seen use since 2015, whereas sister YJ64 DZL has been slightly more active, seeing use with Richard Bros and latterly BL Travel.
With "Lambton Worm" branded Optare Versa V1110/Optare 8303 (NK09 FCD) having sustained severe fire damage due to an electrical fault whilst operating the final journey of the day on "Lambton Worm" service 34A on 17th August 2017, Optare have supplied this vehicle as a courtesy vehicle on long-term loan to cover for it. Numbered 9084 in Go North East's fleet for the duration of its stay, it is expected to be allocated to Riverside Depot.
It has additionally been repainted into Go North East's corporate livery, and will be treated like one of Go North East's own vehicles during its loan period, being fitted with standard fleet livery vinyls, advertisement frames, and a cab area assault screen, prior to entering service.
Despite many vehicles in Go North East's fleet featuring colour route-number front displays, the company never invested in full front colour LED destinations. This vehicle is unique in having one fitted - a display type not spec'd by many operators.
The unique landscape of the Badlands owes its appearance to the one material that is in short supply in Death Valley: water. The Badlands now exist in what was once a prehistoric lake. Mud and silt from the surrounding mountains washed down into the lake when what is now the national park was once a wetter environment. The silts settled to the bottom and were compressed and weakly cemented into soft rock over time. The clay minerals in the mudstone are shaped like tiny plates. These plates act like roof shingles, preventing water from penetrating the surface. The combination of the almost impermeable mudstone and Death Valley’s scant rainfall makes plant growth and soil development nearly impossible. If one looks closely at the photos, on some of the hills a layer of black rock covers the yellowish underlying layers. This is the result of volcanic debris deposited in the lake bottom when the valley was rimmed by ancient volcanoes. This layer forms a protective cap on the soft underlying sediments.
As the climate shifted, the lake dried and a geological upheaval (known as the Pacific Plate crashing into the North American Plate) caused the landscape to tilt. This tilt is easily identified in the rock strata. At Death Valley rainfall is intense but sporadic. Very long periods of drought are punctuated with drenching downpours. With so little vegetation and no soil, when water reaches the ground, there is nothing to absorb the rainfall. During Death Valley’s rain showers, water hits the surface and immediately begins to rush down the steep slopes, sweeping along particles of loosened mud. The rate of erosion can be incredible! Tiny rills are quickly carved into the soft mudstone. The more water in the downpour, the more rills are needed to carry the water away. Rills cut deeper to form gullies. Badlands are the ultimate result-- nature’s way of efficiently moving lots of water quickly.

This castle owes it's current decor due to the work of one man who renovated and expanded the building during the 19th century.
The building can be traced back to the Roman periods. It is reported that in 780 Charlemagne could have passed by the place on his way back from Rome, where he went to have his son baptized by the Pope.
In the 1970’s from the 20th century the castle was transformed into a hotel, only to close its doors in the 1990’s. The castle remains unused to this day.
The castle is built in different styles; including Moorish and Indian. It has 365 rooms and every room has a different theme.

So, I finally took the plunge into the mirrorless camera as after ten years of my trusty 7DMark II and 300 Canon Prime ... for some reason they are not communicating anymore together. Quite odd given other lenses work okay on the 7DM2 (so now I will keep my macro lens mainly on this camera), and for now the 300mm prime works fine on my Canon 5DMIII (though seems slow in focusing). So I think overall the 300 prime is the culprit.
But after 10 years of tons of use with no maintenance ever done on them ... neither element owes me anything.
That said, it has been a long time since purchasing a camera and long lens, so finally opted on Sony a7RV and the 200/600 G lens is on the way.
The camera showed up the other day and I did finally also get the Sony E / Canon adapter. So finally able to get some snaps with the new camera. This photo taken with the new camera with my 24/105mm Canon Lens.
For this test capture I was taking hand held at ISO 16000 while my eldest daughter visiting was using our treadmill on the lower level of our home. To my eye she was in complete shadow and just a silhouette. With the new camera eyepiece showing the high iso condition, she was all lit up while looking through the camera. Was easy to compose the capture being able to see her, and then camera focused quickly. The mirrorless camera with the viewfinder showing the lighter condition in the darkness was so very cool making this capture possible.
Used 1/30th shutter speed here to capture the motion she had while walking.
Other test captures can be seen posted earlier today in my photostream.

La Malbaie was named by Samuel du Champlain in 1608.
La Malbaie, a riverside community first settled in the 17th century, owes its name to Samuel de Champlain, who spent the night here only to find that the bay went completely dry at low tide – "Ah! La malle baye!" he bemoaned.

Seen parked up inside a lorry & van depot near Astin Clinton is this 1986 Alexander bodied Dennis Dominator that was new to Fastline of Sheffield and operated with Fist south Yorkshire. It is unknown who owns this vehicle but it has evidently had its interior seating removed and converted into some sort of mobile home.
Moerkapelle owes its name to the peat (moor) that was present here until the 17th century. This peat was dredged away for peat extraction. What remained was a lake area of several hundred hectares
Enterprising people were given permission on October 6, 1644 to drain these puddles. In addition to an existing mclen, six mills were built. so that seven mills emptied the polder 'De Honderd Morgen' or 'Wilde Veenen' and maintained it until 1924. It was even the first polder in Schieland. Many more would follow later. Around 1875, 85 windmills were involved in water management in the area around the Rotte. For example, the mills of 'De Honderd Morgen' also drained the adjacent 116-hectare polder 'De Honderdfortig Morgen' on the west side of the Rotte in 1716
Six of the seven mills of the 592 ha large 'Hundred Morgen' stood on the Rotte. They could be divided into two groups. In the south, a group of four paddle wheel mills (one corridor) that drained the water. And to the north, a corridor of two auger mills. part of the polder had an even lower level and a seventh mill was built there. which are because of. The format was nicknamed 'Platiuis'. The water from this part of the polder was thus pumped out onto the Rotte via five mills, bridging a height difference of 4 meters. Near Rotterdam there was a group of eight mills that drained the Rottewater on the Meuse For example, the water passed six mills from the back of the polder This number is the highest ever achieved in the Netherlands
Moerkapelle received electricity in 1924. The polder board then decided to switch to electric drainage and a pumping station was built in the same year. An attempt to preserve the mills failed and so they were cut off in 1924 1926. A special feature is that all the mills of the polder still exist in that form

Owing to heavy snow, services were disrupted and the 1337 Newcastle - Swansea was sufficiently late that another set departed York on time in that trains's path. Here we see 43178 awaiting departure.
