La fortezza aragonese, di origine cinquecentesca, è protesa su di una piccola penisola sul mare.
Fu costruita per contrastare le frequenti invasioni.
Non ospitò mai la nobiltà del luogo, ma servì da ricovero per soldati impegnati contro gli attacchi degli invasori provenienti dal mare.

I'll post one picture every thursday, with the motto "Great places, bad cameras"

Ho deciso di dare un'occhiata nei miei archivi digitali, recuperando e rielaborando vecchie foto dei miei viaggi riprese con fotocamere "Point and shoot".
Cercherò di postarne una ogni giovedì, all'insegna del motto "Great places, bad cameras"

For Macro Mondays - Hole
I was struggling to come up with a hole for this week, out of time, then this morning I had to burn a CD so decided to use that.
Happy Macro Monday!
Pied-billed Grebes are small, chunky swimming birds. They have compact bodies and slender necks, with relatively large, blocky heads and short, thick bills.
They have virtually no tail.These are brown birds, slightly darker above and more tawny-brown on the underparts. During spring and summer, the crown and nape are dark and the throat is black. While breeding, the bill is whitish with a black band (“pied’), but otherwise is yellow-brown. Juveniles have striped faces.Pied-billed Grebes can adjust their buoyancy and often use this ability to float with just the upper half of the head above the water. They catch small fish and invertebrates by diving or simply slowly submerging. They build floating nests of cattails, grasses, and other vegetation.
Finally we are getting closer to these very weary birds who at the sight of man vanish.

Walking in The Old Town in Piran :)
Piran is a town in southwestern Slovenia on the Gulf of Piran on the Adriatic Sea. The town is known for its medieval architecture, with narrow streets and compact houses and it's one of Slovenia's major tourist attractions. Architecture of Piran resembles the Italian Venice, to which it belonged in the past, together with Istria. Most of the buildings, as well as the medieval walls separating the city from the rest of the mainland, also come from this period. In the middle of the town is the Tartini Square, with a monument in memory of Giuseppe Tartini. Nearby are located various important buildings, such as Tartini’s house, first mentioned in 1384 and one of the oldest in town, the Municipal Palace. The area of Piran has been inhabited since ancient times. The name of the town most probably originates from the Greek "pyros", meaning fire, due to ancient lighthouses which were supposed to be on the edge of the marina. From 1283 to 1797, the town became part of the Republic of Venice and then was annexed to the Austrian Empire. In 1954 The town was annexed to Yugoslavia.

Spacerujemy po wąskich zaułkach na starówce w Piranie :)
Piran – miasto w Słowenii, siedziba gminy Piran, położone na skalistym cyplu, jest jednym z najatrakcyjniejszych turystycznie miejsc nad słoweńskim Adriatykiem, słynnym ze ze średniowiecznej architektury z wąskimi uliczkami i zwartą zabudową. Swą architekturą o przypomina włoską Wenecję, do której wraz z Istrią należało w przeszłości. Z tego okresu pochodzi też większość zabudowy, a także średniowieczne mury, oddzielające miasto od reszty lądu. Reprezentacyjny plac Tartiniego powstał pod koniec XIX wieku, po zasypaniu wewnętrznego basenu portowego (1894). Mieści się przy nim ratusz i budynek sądu oraz zachowana z obwarowań brama św. Jerzego. Obszar Piranu był zasiedlony od czasów antycznych, a nazwa miasta wywodzi się od greckiego "pyrá", oznaczającego ognisko, ponieważ na krańcu półwyspu zapalano ogień jako punkt orientacyjny dla statków płynących do portu Koper. W 1283 wraz z wybrzeżem Istrii Piran przeszedł pod władzę Republiki Weneckiej, zaś po upadku potęgi Wenecji (1797) Piran przeszedł pod panowanie Habsburgów, zaś w 1954r. znalazł się w granicach Jugosławii.

Amazing how the big the wings of the brown Pelican can fold down into a very compact flying torpedo. The brown pelican can dive head first into water to catch a meal. And seagulls often try to steal their catch out. I hope to catch the seagull getting away with the theft on camera soon.
Compact, deployable, autonomous combatant.
These tanks were fielded by a UN-type organisation, which used them as active protective systems in border conflicts. The tanks were air-dropped into a hot-zone, and simply awaited any interlopers.
Successful during their intended lifetimes, they ended up having many of the pitfalls of mines. Several misplaced remnants of long-passed conflicts were stirred to violence by the proximity of tribal bystanders completely unaware of their existence.

To everyone that has left a comment or has graced the photo by faving it, thank you, thank you, thank you...
There have been quite a few new benches installed at the John F Kennedy arboretum, all this same design; really dark stained wood & just about long enough for 2 people to sit side by side. Perhaps they will be solo benches in the event of another covid type social distancing event? Who knows what the thinking was behind making them so compact & bijou.
Anyway, the colourful forsythia bushes & variety of distant trees caught my eye, so I took a quick iPhone shot HTmT!
Photo 31/100 : My 100x photos this year will all feature benches or chairs. Catching up with uploading my 100x as I was (am) way behind. I promise to intersperse some non-bench photos too.

Feliz domingo
This ‘compact-reflex’ SLR camera was manufactured from 1977 onwards by the Japanese company Cosina (named Cosina CSM) for Porst in Nuremberg. Its M42 lens is an outstanding, fast lens that still impresses today with its sharpness and optical performance. CdS light metering and an electromechanical focal-plane shutter were, along with other features, state of the art for their time. It also still works perfectly and is in good condition, having always been well looked after. A flash is also included!

Frog Orchid / dactylorhiza viridis. Barnack Hills and Hollows, Cambridgeshire. 04/07/21.
'A SEARCH WELL REWARDED.'
To locate 5 x Frog Orchids last weekend involved a meticulous search, despite me having a map and directions to the general area they grew in!
This is one of the little beauties I saw, standing at the dizzy height of just 5cms! The FOs were growing in close proximity to each other, on a slope of calcareous grassland in a medieval quarry. All of them had beautiful reddish sepals which was particularly pleasing, as a previous Frog encounter was with an all green plant.
