Bellagio is a comune (municipality) in the Province of Como in the Italian region of Lombardy. It is located on Lake Como, also known by its Latin-derived name, the Lake of Lario. The arms of the lake form an inverted Y. The triangular land mass at the base of the inverted Y is the Larian Triangle. The Como arm of the lake lies to its south west, the Lecco arm of the lake to its south east. At the northern point of the triangle sits Bellagio, looking across to the northern arm of the lake and, behind it, the Alps. It has always been famous for its location.
This a Trustees of Reservation property in Western Massachusetts near the Connecticut border. It's really very unique because of the twin rocky knolls. Cobble probably comes from the German word "kobel" meaning rocks.
It was a fine day last weekend to walk around in the cobble. Such an unusual reservation with the looming rock walls on the side of the trail. If it wasn't located way out in Western Massachusetts, I'd probably come here every day!
Happy Friday all!
There aren't many of these old cobbled yards left, this one is off Stoney Street in Nottingham.

Neat span of the beach there in Acadia National Park with some pretty big stones there on the beach. A Challenge to walk on them too without breaking an ankle.
Climbing the steep hill on which Gediminas Tower is located, you can to climb the cobbles or steps. There is a Funicular on the far side but we couldn't be bothered walk round to it!
Morning light down in among these large slippery rocks of Acadia, Maine ... but well worth the effort!
Another shot taken in Derby town center.
There are still some roads that haven't been covered in Macadam, but they are hard to find. This is a back alley that is little used these days, and still retains plenty of character thanks to the 100+ year old cobblestones.
Nice warm sunlight bathes the rocks looking down upon Cobble Beach. Of course I had to find the way down there and scramble upon them under this pretty lighting. Those shots are show below in the comments.

Harbour cottages and the Market House Museum share a claustrophobic cobblestone alley.
Off Market Street in Watchet, Somerset.
Charles Bridge in darkness before the sun rose. The lamps reflecting their light onto the cobbles. The distant buildings silhouetted against the dark sky.
Don't be fooled by the lack of people. Had I turned the camera in the opposite direction, there were an awful lot of togs.
Charles Bridge is one of a number of bridges in Prague, which spans the river Vitara.
Some beautiful sculptures adorn the sides of the bridge.
My attempt at the "Smile on Saturday" theme "Flat lay".
Don‘t be too hard on me... this is my first try at a flat lay image and I had to cobble something together in a really short amount of time. 😅

With all the poor weather at the moment, I haven't been getting out as much, but I had to go into Lancaster this week, so I took the opportunity to grab a shot I had been after doing for some time.
It was really wet when I left home but here on Castle Hill the cobbles and paths had dried out more than I had expected. This sloping cobbled lane leads up to the imposing Lancaster Castle. I wanted to shoot from the other direction catching the old "Gillow" House (Home to the legendary furniture manufacturer of Waring and Gillow fame). However, there was some scaffolding on the opposite side of the lane to the house, so I resorted to this shot looking down the hill from the Castle end.
I will return another day, it would look good with a little snow or fog. Another plan!!
