* Detalle de “El Gran Canal”. “La Riva del vin” (La Ribera del vino). Venecia.
* La Riva del vin circunda el Gran Canal desde el Puente de Rialto hasta la iglesia de San Silvestre en el lado del sestiere de San Polo. Es uno de los pocos tramos del Gran Canal flanqueado por recorridos peatonales. El nombre deriva del hecho de que en este lugar comenzaron a llegar y a amarrar barcos cargados de vino, una costumbre que se prolongó hasta casi mediados del siglo XIX.
Evocaremos aquellos versos del romántico José Zorrilla (poeta del s. XIX) en estos fragmentos de su canto:
…Allí está, Venecia, la dueña opulenta
de antiguos y nobles y libres blasones,
Venecia la hermosa, la villa que cuenta
que a sueldo tenía soberbias naciones,
señora del mar.
Que cuenta que un día imperios y reyes
su gala envidiaron, su nombre temieron,
y el mar y la tierra besaron sus leyes,
y enviáronle buques, soldados le dieron;
porque ella supiera batirse y triunfar.
Un día a sus ojos la tierra callaba,
un día su nombre la tierra llenaba.
…
¡Reír, cantar, beber, corta es la vida!
Reír, hasta que seca la garganta
niega paso a la voz enronquecida;
cantar, hasta que el alba se levanta,
que yace en el Adriático dormida.
¡Opulenta Venecia, ríe y canta,
ríe y canta, señora de los mares,
que la risa y la voz cubren el llanto;
y mientras roe el tiempo tus pilares,
y deslustra la lluvia el áureo manto,
risa y juego y festines y cantares,
rueden las horas del dolor en tanto...
(JOSÉ ZORRILLA. A Venecia.)
You have to guess the crossword of Life
Me? I'm trying to compose a puzzle about it
Life in illusion I refuse
I have a sense of reality in myself.

Křížovku života musíš hádat
Já? Zkouším medailonek o tom všem skládat
Žít v iluzi odmítám
Smysl pro realitu v sobě mám.

J'ai capté cette fleur près de la rivière Nicolet tout près du Jardin Botanique de Kingsey Falls au Québec.
Je croyais que c'était une jonquille mais avec ma recherche j'ai constaté que c'était: " Le Narcisse des poètes."
Le Narcisse des poètes est une plante vivace à bulbe. Souvent cultivée par les amateurs de belles fleurs, elle pousse aussi spontanément dans les prairies humides de montagne.
Merci de vos visites, commentaires et favoris !
Thank you for your visits, comment's and favorites !
This shot is taken from the Church of San Pietro in Porto Venere. The gulf is so named because it inspired the likes of Byron, Shelley, Dante, and Petrarch.
It inspired me too, but I decided not to swim across the bay like Byron did in 1822 for a rendezvous with Shelley.
Note: The bay is actually behind me. This photo is looking out into the Mediterranean toward's Byron's Grotto.
Happy shooting!
In Brusc, the infinite blue of the sea dances with the celestial clouds, while the waves, like poets, whisper their love to the rocks.

This is the delightful Newstead Abbey in Nottinghamshire. Best know as the ancestral home of Lord Byron (1808-1814). Byron was an English poet and politician. The Abbey is believed to date from the late 12 century and is one of my favourite local places.

This is the work of the leading colonial architect of the time in Van Diemen's Land, John Lee Archer in 1847. Archer had worked on many projects, but is perhaps most famous for the Tasmanian Parliament House and the Ross Bridge (although there he was clearly trumped by the stonemason/artist Daniel Herbert). Archer had moved to Circular Head when Governor John Franklin, who had followed Archer's great patron Governor Arthur, abolished the position of colonial architect. He accepted a position of magistrate and helped design the streetscape for Stanley which was officially gazetted in 1842.
According to local legend, Archer built this house in 1847 for one of King George IV's illegitimate sons. However that arrangement fell through and so Archer himself lived there with his family until his death in 1852.
In the 1850s it became a private school and schoolmaster's residence, the first in Stanley. The name "Poet's Cottage" is actually quite late. An owner in the 1970s, the photographer Marguerite Close (1921-2013), named it after her second husband, the Tasmanian poet Lin Eldridge (1924-?). catalogue.nla.gov.au/Record/100227?lookfor=author:%22Eldr...{author-cluster:%22Eldridge,%20Lin,%201924-%22}&offset=2&max=2
Fittingly, it is now occupied by the great granddaughter of Edward Curr of the Van Diemen's Land Company (who built Highfield in 1826).

El sábado 9 de abril de 2016, en la ciudad de Luján -Provincia de Buenos Aires- se develó una escultura en honor del luchador, poeta y herrero Dardo Sebastián Dorronzoro, a 38 años de su desaparición a manos de la dictadura militar.
La escultura, que fue emplazada en la rotonda que lleva el nombre del poeta (ubicada en Fray Manuel de Torres y Gogna, en el Barrio lujanense Champagnat), fue realizada por Osvaldo Caldú. Realizada en hierro forjado y de grandes dimensiones, la obra, inspirada en el poema “Declaración Jurada”, de Dorronzoro, representa una mano empuñando una pluma de tinta, emergiendo de un yunque.
Le village fortifié du Poët-Laval, dominé par son château médiéval, se détache sur un paysage de collines boisées, à quelques kilomètres à l'ouest de Dieulefit, en Drôme provençale. La commune est membre de l'association des Plus Beaux Villages de France, qui vise à promouvoir les atouts touristiques de petites communes françaises riches d'un patrimoine de qualité.
Au cours des guerres de religion, Le Poët-Laval connut plusieurs sièges : le château, très endommagé par les combats, fut délaissé par les commandeurs qui se fixèrent définitivement à Montélimar à la fin du xvie siècle. Les fortifications furent démantelées et le corps de logis tomba en ruines. La chapelle castrale Saint-Jean redevint église paroissiale sous le vocable de Saint-André.
À partir du début du xxe siècle, le développement du village de Gougne, en fond de vallée, entraîna l’abandon progressif du vieux village, qui n’était plus occupé que par quelques personnes âgées au début des années 1950. Dès 1925, quelques passionnés créèrent l’association des Amis du vieux Poët-Laval, qui freina le pillage systématique dont le site faisait l’objet en acquérant et en consolidant les constructions les plus menacées. À partir de 1959, les travaux réalisés par des particuliers sur toute la partie haute du village, sur les rues et quelques maisons anciennes ont permis de redonner vie à ce lieu remarquable, qui semblait voué à la disparition comme nombre de villages perchés et auquel l’accueil touristique et le retour d’habitants permanents rendent aujourd’hui une nouvelle jeunesse.

__________________________________________
The fortified village of Poet-Laval, dominated by its medieval castle, is set against a landscape of wooded hills, a few kilometers west of Dieulefit, in Drôme Provençale. The town is a member of the Association of the Most Beautiful Villages of France, which aims to promote the tourism assets of small French towns of a rich heritage of quality.
During the wars of religion, Le Poet-Laval knew several seats: the castle, badly damaged by the fighting, was abandoned by the commanders who permanently settled in Montelimar in the late sixteenth century. The fortifications were dismantled and the main building fell into disrepair. The chapel Saint-Jean became parish church under the patronage of St. Andrew.
From the early twentieth century, the development of the village of Gougne, in the valley, led to the gradual abandonment of the old village, which was not occupied by a few elderly people in the early 1950. In 1925, some enthusiasts created the Association of Friends of Old Poet-Laval, which braked the systematic looting whose site was the subject by acquiring and consolidating the most endangered buildings. From 1959 the work of individuals across the top of the village, on the streets and old houses have made it possible to revive this remarkable place, which seemed destined to disappear as a number of perched villages and to which the tourist reception and the return of permanent inhabitants make a new youth today.
