Das versunkene Dorf
English Version below:
Die Geschichte dieses Kirchturms ist nicht romantisch als der Anblick des Kirchturms vielleicht vermuten lässt. Erbaut wurde die Kirche bereits im 14. Jahrhundert. Damals wurde sie noch von drei Seen umgeben: dem Reschensee,(Lago di Rèsia) dem Mittersee und dem Haidersee. Im Jahr 1950 kam es am sogenannten Reschenpass zu einer Stauung der drei Seen. Sie war schon lange von der faschistischen Regierung geplant und sollte dem Zweck der Energiegewinnung dienen. Die Stauung hatte zur Folge, dass der Reschensee sowie der Mittersee zusammengeführt wurden – das bedeutete aber auch, dass das gesamte Dorf Graun im Vinschgau(Curon Venosta) und auch ein Großteil des Dorfes Reschen versenkt wurden.
Unterwasser sind nur noch Überreste zu erkennen
Die Bewohner der kleinen Gemeinde wurden dadurch fast vollständig ihrer Existenz beraubt, denn insgesamt wurden 163 Häuser zerstört und mehr als 500 Hektar an fruchtbarem Kulturboden überflutet, wofür die Vertriebenen nur geringe Entschädigungen erhielten. Unter dem Wasser kann man heute nur noch die Überreste des versunkenen Dorfs erkennen, über dem Wasser nur noch den alten, romanischen Kirchturm, der aus Denkmalschutzgründen stehen gelassen und bereits mehrmals restauriert wurde. Man munkelt übrigens, dass auch heute manchmal noch die Glocken zu hören sind, die aus der Tiefe geläutet werden…
The sunken village
The history of this church tower is not romantic as the sight of the church tower might suggest. The church was built in the 14th century. At that time it was still surrounded by three lakes: the Reschensee, (Lago di Rèsia) the Mittersee and the Haidersee. In 1950 the three lakes at the so-called Reschen Pass were dammed. It had long been planned by the fascist government and was intended to serve the purpose of generating energy. The damming resulted in the Reschensee and Mittersee merging - but this also meant that the entire village of Graun in Vinschgau (Curon Venosta) and a large part of the village of Reschen were sunk. Only remains can be seen underwater
The residents of the small community were almost completely robbed of their livelihoods, because a total of 163 houses were destroyed and more than 500 hectares of fertile cultivated soil were flooded, for which the displaced received little compensation. Below the water you can only see the remains of the sunken village, above the water only the old, Romanesque church tower, which has been left standing for monument protection reasons and has already been restored several times. Incidentally, it is rumored that even today the bells can still be heard sometimes, which are rung from below ...
Trumpeter Swans Protecting their cygnet. I had to stumble down a pretty steep rocky embankment. This put the parents on high alert. I realized after getting into position that they were actually paddling towards me. At that same time I realized that there was no easy or quick way to get away if they decided to attack. So I sat very still hoping they would determine that I wasn't a threat. This image was taken as they decided that I wasn't going to be a problem, so they swam away. Whew!

Shade from the sun, shelter from the wind, and exclusion of sharks all help to make Middle Brighton ocean baths a popular recreational destination in Melbourne, Victoria. The baths were opened in 1882.

The hills were steep and the mountain had plenty of avalanche protection fencing - just look for the white posts up high.
Iceland also was home to quite a large number of electric cars even though they are not too sure of how long the battery will last in cold conditions. There also seemed to be quite a few charging points even in the small villages like this - Siglufjörður.
Just a few more Iceland photos, then I'll move on to the Sheltalnd Islands leg of my trip.

A swimming swan and a grey heron at Portrunny Harbour, in Portrunny Townland (County Roscommon, Connacht Province, in west-central Ireland), on a mostly overcast afternoon in early May 2024. The grey heron (Ardea cinerea) is approaching for a landing on the calm water, where the mute swan (Cygnus olor) has been calmly swimming about.
Portrunny (also spelled in English as Portrun, Port Reanna in Irish) is southeast of Roscommon Town. The harbour is a sheltered part of Lough Ree (in Irish, Loch Rí), which is the second-largest of the lakes along the course of the River Shannon (in Irish, Abhainn na Sionainne or an tSionainn) and includes Portrunny Bay. It provides a boat-launching area and picnic facilities as well as a playground.
The lough and its surrounding shores, including bogland, have been designated as an EU Special Area of Conservation, a Special Protection Area, and an official Important Bird and Biodiversity Area (IBA). The location is popular with both migratory and stable water birds.
(Information, including English and Irish place names, from the Ordnance Survey Ireland Discovery Series map no. 40, as well as logainm.ie, the Placenames Database of Ireland (reference numbers 44171, 100027, and 1166403), and Wikipedia, both last consulted 18 June 2024.)

The lake, set in the narrow valley between tall peaks, has preserved virtually intact the natural environment previously classified "area of remarkable environmental interest" by the authorities of the Lombardy region, subsequently promoted to park and as such subject to protection. The lake banks alternate thick reeds - an ideal breeding area for the wide variety of fish and a bird haven.
One of the coastal protection 'islands' here at Sidmouth, the whole place is at risk of succumbing to the waves so something had to be done!
