Rivello is located in a splendidly scenic position on the ridge of a hill that overlooks the whole Noce Valley and Mount Sirino. The urban structure of the town is equally picturesque with the chuch of San Nicola dei Greci dominating the western height of the town.
The town has an unusual history: born from a Basilian monk's laura and therefore a place of prayer and worship, it became a place disputed for centuries by Lombards and Byzantines because of its strategic position. Neither power was able to prevail over the other, so they reached an uncommon form of agreement. The Lombards settled the upper part of the town, while the Byzantines concentrated in the lower.
As a consequence, within this once very populous town, two centres with two very different cultures developed. Each center has its own major church. The Lombards in the upper areas built The church of Santa Maria Maggiore, of Latin rite, and the Byzantines built The church of San Nicola which practices the rites of the Greek church, a tradition that lasted well into the 17th century. Although all the local churches are now Roman Catholic, many reveal a Byzantine architectural influence.
The traveler will encounter numerous smaller churches in the town, and will find that the vast majority are open all day and throughout the year.
Male Cuckoo on top of a dead tree on the other side of the river.
They adopt this wing and body positon when calling 'Cuckoo!'.
Did a bit of research - one study found that male cuckoos adopted a certain posture, wing drooping, and tended to keep their tails up more frequently in areas with the highest versus lowest host nest densities. This is consistent with these behaviours acting as potential signals (to females) codifying information on nest abundance in the area.

A BIG THANK YOU to all of my REAL, PEACEFUL, WONDERFUL FRIENDS, regardless of what groups you belong in!
My husband and I headed up to Linville Gorge today and stumbled across this magnificent, icy waterfall outside of the park as we left. We had to climb over boulders and fallen trees to get to it...but it was well worth it. The water was so clear! I will go back sometime and do a video of these falls to share with you all.
On the side of a huge square rock on Breakwater falls is this rock cap fern just clinging to life. It's only a couple inches wide. Check out that all the fronds are producing spores - I guess when under pressure, life goes all out!
This beautiful Eastern Tiger Swallowtail flew past me as I was walking the trail at Lake Artemesia. I watched it and waited for it to land somewhere so I could get a shot of it. I was fortunate that it finally landed in a reasonable position so I could capture its image.

Street photography in Lyon, France. I liked how the lady stood on the escalator, ready to spring into the deep pool of city life...
Busseau sur Creuse, 23 France. Taken from the same position as the previous photo, but looking north towards the road bridge, which carries the D50 road across the river. I'm not sure how old this is, but I suspect it was built near the end of the 18thC. This was the first time I've used Foma 200 since it's recall, and sad to say, it still seems very vulnerable to scratches, but this might be due in part to the fairly primitive finish of the Hongmei! Taken for International Commie Camera Days 2013, with a 1970's Chinese made folding camera.

Wow, long time no see guys! Haven't had much of a chance to do any photography lately but I figured I'd post this shot before I hop on a plane to Oahu with my girlfriend. That's right, I'm going to Hawaii baby! Ashley and I have had this trip planned for a few months now and we're ready to ditch the stress and say hello to the beaches, sun, alcohol and fun! I can't wait to get on that plane!
And of course while I'm there I plan to do a little photography. If you know any good locales on Oahu let me know in the comments.
This shot comes from our last trip to Monterey. I snuck out to catch a rather lackluster sunset at Garrapata Beach. I probably should have dragged Ashley with me though, as I came close to serious injury a couple times. Those rocks are DAMN slippery and I probably looked ridiculous slipping and sliding around on them. Even managed to fall on my ass at one point! The walk down to the beach wasn't exactly easy either. Ah well, this is what we live for, right?
See you all when we get back!

This Tri-State bird holds a position of official prominence in New Jersey, Iowa, and Washington. The American Goldfinch sits proudly on a swamp milkweed in Delaware's Bombay Hook, NWR. These small finches are completely vegetarian, only inadvertently swallowing an occasional insect while eating seeds. They nest later season than most songbirds of North America, waiting for the plants that they use as food to produce their seeds. I enjoy watching them late in summer, as they pick seeds from our flowering plants in the garden. #iLoveNature #iLoveBirds #iLoveWildlife #WildlifePhotography in #Delaware #Nature in #NorthAmerica #USA #DrDADBooks #AmericanGoldfinch #Canon #WildlifeConservation

Asian short clawed Otter - Eagle Heights, Wildlife Park, Kent, England - Sunday September 28th 2008.
Now for the real deal. A Metra inbound rolls under the PRR Position Lights at CP Morgan Street, preparing to enter the canyon of skyscrapers that make up Chicago's massive skyline. This was probably one of the most successful shots that resulted from today's expedition into the city.
The site comprises the ruins of two castles: the 15th-century Castle Girnigoe; and the early 17th-century Castle Sinclair. The earlier castle was probably built between 1476 and 1496. Given its isolated position, I can only wonder how on earth they built anything "back in those days". What stories those walls could tell.
Tempers flare at nature’s trough as many birds vie for prime positions when food becomes available. A female Passerini’s Tanager barks fiercely at a Palm Tanager, warning it to stave off and wait its turn. These skirmishes are short lived and the birds rapidly give way to the next in line after gobbling up a few bites of the plentiful plantains. The delicate but closest living relatives of dinosaurs still possess attitudes that I imagine were plentiful in millennia past, and angry birds are the dinosaurs of the modern day. #AngryBirds

The far right is central Sydney which a lot of buildings can be seen. No crop for this shot, this is the limit of my wide angle lens at 14 mm. I should have a fish-eye lens.:)

Sometimes, you just can't get in the right position to get a photo of a Snowy Owl - this one only glanced in our direction a couple of times, but I thought the sun shining on it made it worth posting. This photo was taken NE of the city, on 20 December 2014.
The winter of 2014/2015 has been really good for Snowy Owls, though various people have been reporting that recently, there seem to be far fewer to be seen. Back in December, I had been longing to get out there, especially to the E and NE of the city, to look for these spectacular birds of prey. I finally got out, after my youngest daughter asked if I wanted to go looking for Snowies on our Christmas get-together on 20 December 2014. She had never seen a Snowy Owl, so I was really, really hoping that we'd find one! As it turned out, we saw 10 definite individuals, plus two others that we weren't quite sure about - one certainly looked like a very distant Snowy and the other was possibly a repeat of an owl we had seen earlier in more or less the same area.
Part way through the day, almost as if it were meant to happen, a car came from the opposite direction - it was my friends, Cathy and Terry! For the rest of our trip, we followed behind them, thoroughly enjoying every new find. Late afternoon, we went home different ways and my daughter and I saw our last two owls. My daughter was so thrilled to see these breathtaking birds and was already quite happy and content after seeing the very first, distant one. Three of the owls gave us close or reasonably close views, the rest were very distant. The owl in this photo is a male, as it is almost pure white.

After these wonderful sightings, we returned to Calgary and went back to my daughter's place to exchange Christmas gifts. I reckon the Snowy Owls were the "best" gifts she received that day : )
The Waikato River, New Zealand's longest river, moves gracefully north from Lake Taupo between banks 100 metres apart. Just before the Huka Falls it enters a shallow ravine of hard volcanic rock. The effect is nature's large-scale equivalent of a fire hose feeding into a very fine nozzle.
The previously placid waters roar and rumble at great speed along the ravine before bursting into space out over Huka Falls to crash into the turbulent pool 11 metres below. This shot was taken from a foot bridge at the top of the falls, a prime position to get up close and witness the frightening display of more than 220,000 litres of water blasting by every second. (Source: www,newzealand.com)
I would have added this shot to the location map, but it shows no sign of the Falls, or Huka Falls Road, whereas Google Maps clearly shows both; ah well, never mind, does anybody (apart from me) ever look at these things anyway.

I was visiting the castle of Loarre, when the sky changed rapidly from a uniform blue to menacing waves of darkening clouds; the vivid fields of wheat became more apparent with the contrasting sky, still receiving some light from the sun.
The Castle of Loarre is a Romanesque Castle and Abbey located near the town of the same name, in Huesca, Aragón, Spain. The castle was built largely during the 11th and 13th centuries, when its position on the frontier between Christian and Muslim lands gave it strategic importance. The castle's location on a rocky outcrop affected the layout; it was not possible to have one unified structure, and like many castles, Loarre was a collection of buildings bounded by curtain walls. Originally the internal plan included two towers and a chapel behind several curtain walls. Towards the end of the 11th century, an additional chapel was built in Romanesque style just outside the castle walls.
What we can see over the landscape is the Torre de la Reina, particularly noteworthy for three sets of twin-arched windows, with columns of exaggerated entasis and trapezoidal capitals that have been related to both Lombard Romanesque and Mozarabic architectural forms. [derived from Wikipedia]
Thank you for your visit and comments.

Two ancient buildings are located in a position that in ancient times supplied for certainly strategic advantage. From this point you can clearly see Levanzo, Favignana and the Trapani coast. The two buildings have different natures: The Roman house had a military character while the Byzantine church has religious peculiarities. The first building was for defensive purposes. It had a complex system of facilities useful for conveying water collection.
The Byzantine church dates back to the early centuries of Christianity. Almost adjacent to the Roman building, it is rectangular in shape about 10 meters long, with a main and a side entrance, with barrel vaults and four central pillars. The church has a single nave divided into three spans of which the central one is the highest and ends with a hemispherical vault. The style is very reminiscent of the eastern one, which leads to the hypothesis that the church was erected around the 11th century by monks of the Byzantine rite, on a previous basis of Christian worship.
