These vedovelle(widow) were designed in 1931 and the original design, named Fontanella Milano, can still be seen in the city archives. Their popularity over the years has not diminished, it seems, and the fountains are still produced and sold to people to display in their private homes. The fountains are made from cast iron and were painted green to blend with the rest of the public amenities of the time; benches, public telephones and the like. If you look closely at the little spout, you will notice that it is actually a dragon’s head made from brass, which spurts the steady stream of water from its mouth. These diminutive dragons are a replica of their cousins, the doccione or gargoyles, that perch amongst the spires on top of the Duomo, draining the rain that collects on the rooftop and dribbling it out their mouths. If you are feeling thirsty, place your finger in the dragons mouth and cut off the stream of water, this will cause it to spurt out the top of the dragons head like a small fountain making it easier for you to take a sip. (Please note that this works only for the little fountains you find at ground level). Upon even closer inspection of some of the vedovelle, you might find a little shield, beneath the head of the dragon, bearing the familiar colours of the Italian flag as well as the emblem of the city of Milan
Taken for Macro Mondays: glass
A slice of lemon and lime sitting in a bubbly lemon and lime soda. We are enjoying our Victoria Day long weekend by taking a moment and relaxing out on the deck. Since it is a beautiful (and quite warm!) day out there, a refreshing beverage is a must have!
HMM everyone!
White tulips.
Happy Sunday everyone. :)

Cada nuevo camino que estemos por comenzar, nos hace olvidar el que se deja atrás, fortalecerá nuestro corazón y podremos descansar aquello que en su momento dolio😘..
Solo se trata de vivir!
(NO lo olvides).
Panoramic view of Nabq lagoon with clear blue waters and sandy shores bordered by lush green mangroves in the background.
Nestled along the coast between Dahab and Sharm El-Sheikh, Nabq National Park
is a remarkable blend of desert and marine ecosystems with an area of 600 km² renowned for its unique natural features and biodiversity.
The mangroves in Nabq can be described as the last mangrove frontier along the Eastern coast of the African Continent. They include sabkha, desert, wadi, sea grass beds, beach, coastline and near-shore shallow areas, which are mixed together to create a unique ecotourism destination.
The mangrove occupies half of the scenery of the area, which maintains not only the integrity, and stability of its attraction, but also its nearby near-shore marine ecosystem scenery. Mangrove trees are spread along the shore creating a refreshing scene that gives a feeling of relief.
The moon flower on our front porch bloomed last night in the rain so I just had to take a shot of it! So refreshing and beautiful!! Enjoy your Sunday dear friends!
The best water in the house is found on the bathroom shelf. It is so refreshing with a slight taste of toothpaste. This glass was my master's, but now it's mine!
The heavy rain washed away all the bad and unhappiness in 2017. And the new 2018 begins. Wish everyone have a happy and a favourable year!

This is the base of a fountain in the inner courtyard of the Frankfurt city hall. I wanted to "freeze" the droplets which resulted in a rather high ISO as the courtyard was in the shade and therefore quite dark.
