Tuscan landscape that surrounds an ancient Abbey ..... in that morning softly enveloped by a light fog that filled my heart with sweet melancholy ....
Paesaggio toscano che circonda un' antica Abbazia.... in quella mattina morbidamente avvolto da una leggera nebbia che mi ha riempito il cuore di una dolce malinconia....

In this light fog... everything tell about past days, whose memory moves through time.... in an atmosphere of delicate melancholy...
Only by looking with the eyes of the soul ... you can feel the lightness and weight of melancholy on your heart... living ancient but always new emotions ...
In questa nebbia leggera ... tutto racconta di giorni passati, il cui ricordo si muove nel tempo ..... in un'atmosfera di delicata malinconia...
Solo guardando con gli occhi dell'anima ... si sente sul cuore la leggerezza e il peso della malinconia ... vivendo emozioni antiche ma sempre nuove ...

This was the last glimpse back over the landscape hiked on the last Saturday, on the ancient Valeriana road that runs alongside Lake Iseo and up to the mountains, and to be completed in several stages.
Cold, sun then clouds, and many beauty.
Comincio dalla fine ... questo l'ultimo colpo d'occhio a ritroso sul paesaggio percorso sabato, da Tassano a Vesto Gandone sulla antica strada Valeriana, che attraversa magnifici uliveti e borghi antichi che guardano il lago d'Iseo e Montisola.
Questo antico cammino prevede 9 tappe da Brescia sino a Edolo e poi con una ulteriore tappa a scelta per raggiungere Tirano oppure Ponte di Legno.
Freddo, sole poi nuvole, e tanta bellezza.

The 300 year old "Ancient Oak" at Dade Battlefield Historic State Park. "The Seminole resistance to removal to a reservation brought about the Second Seminole War. It started on December 28, 1835, when a column of 107 soldiers, led by Major Dade, were attacked by the Seminole warriors. 'Have a good heart; our difficulties and dangers are over now, and as soon as we arrive at Fort King (present day Ocala) you'll have three days to rest and keep Christmas gaily.' Major Francis L. Dade spoke these words of encouragement to 107 cold, tired soldiers in a pine forest on the morning of December 28, 1835. Within eight hours, only three soldiers would survive the battle that marked the beginning of the Second Seminole War." This tree was already more than 100 years old at the time of the battle, about 185 years ago. If this tree could talk.
Marvel at the perfectly carved walls of Egypt's most preserved temple at Edfu.
The temple of Edfu is the largest temple dedicated to Horus and Hathor of Dendera. It was the center of several festivals sacred to Horus. Each year, "Hathor travelled south from her temple at Denderah to visit Horus at Edfu, and this event marking their sacred marriage was the occasion of a great festival and pilgrimage."

Asen's Fortress is a medieval fortress in the Bulgarian Rhodope Mountains, close to the city of Plovdiv, on a high rocky ridge on the left bank of a river. Elevation of 279 m.
The earliest archaeological findings date from the time of the Thracians, the area of the fortress being also inhabited during the Ancient Roman and Early Byzantine period. The fortress gained importance in the Middle Ages, first mentioned in the statute of the Bachkovo Monastery in the 11th century. The fortress was conquered by the armies of the Third Crusade.
This shot took some patience.. there were people climbing the island and the light wasn't co-operating. But finally after much patience I got this image. Happy World Photography Day everyone!!! Kris
