I went on a hedge laying course today. I learned to use a billhook (but I didn't injure myself), I learned about sap directions, cleared brambles, practiced splitting trunks and helped lay a decent section of hedge.
I'm hoping to put these skills to good use over the next couple of months and to continue to not injure myself.
Taken with a Dicapac underwater camera bag. Tried to get that above/below water split. Didn't realize before how much the water magnifies an image!
Here is a peaceful scene - a moss covered (red cedar) split-rail fence beside a quaint slate step stairway. When nature is allowed to naturally integrate with man's work, well, that's a good thing.
Photo taken in Split, Croatia, showing Riva harbor boats and promenade.
Split is the second-largest city of Croatia and the largest city of the region of Dalmatia. It lies on the eastern shore of the Adriatic Sea and is spread over a central peninsula and its surroundings. An intraregional transport hub and popular tourist destination, the city is linked to the Adriatic islands and the Apennine peninsula.
In the distance (right of centre) can be seen the bell tower of the Cathedral of St Domnius. The Cathedral is a complex of a church, formed from an Imperial Roman mausoleum, with a bell tower; strictly the church is dedicated to the Virgin Mary, and the bell tower to Saint Domnius. Together they form the Cathedral of St. Domnius.
The Cathedral of Saint Domnius, consecrated at the turn of the 7th century AD, is regarded as the oldest Catholic cathedral in the world that remains in use in its original structure, without near-complete renovation at a later date. The structure itself, built in AD 305 as the Mausoleum of Diocletian, is the second oldest structure used by any Christian Cathedral.
The Riva, Split's seafront promenade, runs the length of the old town and is lined with cafes, bars, shops and Palm trees.
