Juntamente com Coronel Fabriciano, Ipatinga forma a mais importante conurbação do alto vale do Rio Doce, estando inserida no complexo industrial mínero-metalúrgico, que caracteriza a região do chamado Quadrilátero Ferrífero de Minas Gerais. Sua posição na hierarquia urbana é de centro regional, comandando Coronel Fabriciano e Timóteo, além de outros 11 municípios. A área é cortada pela rodovia BR-381 (Belo Horizonte - Governador Valadares) e pela ferrovia Vitória - Minas, operada pela Companhia Vale do Rio Doce, grande mineradora e transportadora de minérios entre Minas Gerais e os portos do Espírito Santo. O grande problema ambiental da cidade vincula-se aos elevados índices de poluição atmosférica, decorrentes das siderúrgicas e mineradoras situadas em sua periferia.

Window in the north transept by Antoine Lusson, 1852.
Ely Cathedral is in the top rank of the great English cathedrals, and indeed earns its place among the best of medieval churches internationally for its unique architecture and astonishing beauty. It is a church I've visited several times over the years and never fails to impress, its form at once imposing and strikingly individual. Owing to the flatness of the surrounding countryside it is visible from afar as a major landmark, which makes approaching this tiny city all the more enticing.
The church was founded as an abbey by St Etheldreda in 672 and didn't achieve cathedral status until the foundation of the diocese in 1109. Much of the present building dates from the following years, with the nave and transepts still substantially as they were built (aside from a few altered windows and later ceilings) and a fine example of Norman / Romanesque architecture. A little later during the 1170s the soaring west tower and western transepts were added which would have created a magnificent facade when complete and of a type rarely seen in this country. The style is richer with more use of ornamentation than before, but also many of the arches (particularly the upper parts of the tower) are pointed, making it an early example of the transition to Gothic (the octagonal top storey is from two centuries later, but follows the original overall plan in form, if not detail). The north-west transept however collapsed in the late 15th century and was never rebuilt, leaving the front of the cathedral will the curiously lopsided but not unattractive west front we see today. The Galilee porch that projects from the base of the tower dates from the beginning of the 13th century, only a few decades later but now fully Gothic in style.
The Norman eastern limb had been fairly short so the next major building phases saw the great eastward extension of the presbytery built in Gothic style in 1234-50. It makes an interesting contrast with the earlier parts of the building being so rich in style, externally punctuated with pinnacles and flying buttresses and profusely ornamented withing, making the Romanesque nave and transepts seem somewhat austere by comparison. Then in 1321 an ambitious new lady chapel was begun at the north-east corner, but soon afterwards work was delayed by unforeseen events.
In 1322 the old Norman central tower collapsed, bringing down with it most of the old Romanesque choir (but not the recently built presbytery beyond). The aftermath left the cathedral with a gaping hole at its heart, but this must have inspired those charged with its recovery, and under the direction of Alan of Walsingham the crossing was rebuilt in a unique way; rather than build a new tower of a similar form the central piers that supported it were entirely cleared away along with the adjoining bay of nave, transepts and choir to create a much larger octagonal central space. This then rose to become the unique central tower that Ely is so famous for, the Octagon, a combination of a lower octagonal tower built of stone crowned by a delicate lantern built of wood and covered with lead externally. The result is an incredible, piece of architecture, and the view inside of the open space rising to the curved vaults above on which the glazed lantern appears to float is unforgettable.
After the Octagon and beautifully spacious and richly adorned Lady Chapel were completed there was no more major work at the cathedral. The transept roofs were replaced in the 15th century with the wooden hammerbeam structures we see today, adorned with large angel figures in the East Anglian tradition. The most significant late medieval additions are the two sumptuously decorated chantry chapels built within the end of each choir aisle, each a riot of later medieval ornament and Bishop West's also being remarkable for its fusion of Gothic and Renaissance detail. The cloister appears to have been rebuilt at a similar stage though sadly very little of it survives today.
Sadly the Reformation saw a wave of iconoclasm of particular ferocity unleashed here in Ely. The most telling reminder is the Lady Chapel with its richly ornamented arcading carved with hundreds of small scenes and figures, all brutally beheaded (not a single head survives). Free standing statues in niches have all gone without trace, but in the case of Bishop West's chantry chapel the topmost figures were carved in relief, so these were hammered away leaving the mutilated remains as a testament to zealotry and intolerance. Most of the stained glass appears to have also been removed around this time, so there was surprisingly little damage here during the Civil War a century later as the Puritan frenzy had already been unleashed.
A corner of the north transept collapsed in 1699 but was rebuilt almost identically, a rare early example of such an exacting approach to reconstruction. The classical form of a window and doorway below are the only reminders of the rebuilding, some say with advice from Christopher Wren whose uncle had been bishop here decades earlier (Wren knew the cathedral as a result, and the Octagon is believed to have inspired his plans for St Paul's, as the ground plans of the Octagon and his domed central space at St Paul's are remarkably similar).
The cathedral saw further changes in the 18th century when the structure was in need of repair. James Essex was called in to repair the Octagon and the wooden lantern was stabilised but its external was appearance simplified by stripping away much of its original detail. The medieval choir stalls had originally sat directly underneath the Octagon with painted walls on either side, but these were removed at this time and the stalls relocated further east to the position they are in now. Sadly the Norman pulpitum screen at the end of the nave was also removed (the earliest of its kind to survive in any cathedral).
By the mid 19th century tastes had changed again and the Victorian preference for richness over Georgian austerity saw the cathedral restored under the direction of George Gilbert Scott. He restored the Octagon lantern to something much closer to its original appearance and added new screens at the crossing and behind the altar. Stained glass gradually filled the cathedral again and it remains one of the richest collections of Victorian glass in the country. The ceiling of the nave which had been left plain for centuries was given a new richly painted finish with scenes from the Old & New Testaments, begun by Henry le Strange but finished by Thomas Gambier Parry after the former had died halfway through the project. Gambier Parry also undertook the lavish redecoration of the interior of the Octagon lantern.
The cathedral has remained little changed since and is one of the rewarding in the country. There is much of beauty to enjoy here beyond the architecture, with many interesting tombs and monuments from the medieval and post-Reformation periods. There is a wealth of stained glass of unusual richness; not everyone appreciates Victorian glass (indeed Alec Clifton Taylor was quite scathing about the glass here) but while it is very mixed I find much of it is of remarkably high quality.
Since 1972 the Stained Glass Museum has been housed in the nave triforium (originally on the north side, it was later transferred to the south where it currently remains). This is the only collection in the country solely devoted to the medium and is a great ambassador for it, with fine pieces covering a range of styles and illustrating the development of the art through the various backlit panels on show in the gallery.
Visitors can usually take tours to ascend the Octagon and even the west tower on more select days. Tours do get booked up though so it took me many visits before I could make my ascent, but happily this time I finally managed it and it was a wonderful experience I won't forget. Frustratingly I was unable to ascend the west tower since I was at a symposium on the day when tours were held so I hope to have better luck next time.

These photos caputure the festivity of Dahi Handi (pot of curd), which is popular in Maharashtra to celebrate.Janmashtami, the birth day of Lord Krishna. In the month of August- September.
Krishna would love to eat butter and curd, this would be kept in pots hanging from the roof tops.
So as a child he and his friend would form a human pyramid (just like in the photos) to reach the pots and steal the butter. He would enter the houses of the many gopis and carry out his mischief. In spite of this he was loved by one and all.
There are many folk tales and songs spun around this story and are very popular all over India.
This is called Dahi Handi in Maharashtra, were people will tie the dahi handi along with some cash award. During the day various groups come and take the challenge by building mult-story human layers.
At the place were I took these photos the qualifying levels were seven human layers.
In the evening the qualified groups take the challenge of going even higher. At this place the max layers which were made was 9 human layer. This is believed to be a world record.
This picture of a White-throated Sparrow (tan form or tan morph or tan striped) was taken in Brantford, Ontario.
From Wikipedia: There are two adult plumage variations known as the tan-striped and white-striped forms. On the white-striped form the crown is black with a white central stripe. The supercilium is white as well. The auriculars are gray with the upper edge forming a black eye line.[3]
On the tan form, the crown is dark brown with a tan central stripe. The supercilium is tan as well. The auriculars are gray/light brown with the upper edge forming a brown eye line. Both variations feature dark eyes, a white throat, yellow lores and gray bill.[3] There is variation and some individuals may show dark lateral stripes of each side of the throat.
They almost always pair with the opposite color morph for breeding. The two color morphs occur in approximately equal numbers. Both male and female white-striped birds are more aggressive than tan-striped birds during the breeding season.[6][7]
The breast has gray/tan streaks and the streaks continue down the flanks but the belly is generally light gray. The wings are rufous with two distinct white wing bars. Sexes are morphologically similar.[3]
La Basílica forma parte del conjunto monumental del Palacio Nacional de Mafra, el mayor monumento portugués del siglo XVIII. Con una acentuada influencia clásica, es de una sola nave, ornamentada con mármoles de varios colores, con alta bóveda de medio cañón y crucero con una gran cúpula que muestra una paloma representando al Espíritu Santo. La fachada de la basílica está ladeada por dos torres de campanario con dos grandes carrillones fabricados en los talleres de Nicolás Levache y Willem Witlockx en Antuerpia (actual Amberes), cuyo peso es de 217 toneladas. En el interior de la iglesia se hallan seis órganos fabricados por Joaquim Antonio Peres Fontanes y por Antonio Xavier Machado, durante la regencia de Don Juan VI (principios del siglo. XIX).

My LE 2500 Anna and Elsa 17'' dolls have been fully deboxed, and are posed standing side by side. They are supported by the included doll stands. My Anna is #1202 of 2500, and Elsa is #102 of 2500. In this shot they are posed in front of the cardboard backing that formed the inner box of the dolls' packaging.
First look at the Limited Edition Anna and Elsa 17'' Dolls, that I purchased from the Disney Store on the release day, November 20, 2013. The dolls are LE 2500, and cost $99.95 each. They will be photographed boxed, during deboxing, and fully deboxed. They will also be posed with other comparable dolls, especially the Harrods LE 100 Anna and Elsa dolls.
Individual reviews and product information follow.
Review of Anna LE 2500 17'' Doll
She is wearing her coronation gown, and black flat heeled shoes, that are the same design as the Harrods LE 100 Anna doll. But there are far fewer jewels in her gown, and she is missing the leggings and bloomers of the Harrods doll. However, her slip and petticoat appear to be identical to the Harrods version. Her dress and petticoat are stiff enough that she can free stand, although not very stably. She is wearing a necklace, with the pendant stuck to her chest, which is identical to the Harrods doll's necklace.
She has red orange hair that is pulled back, and has a large flat braid behind long curly bangs, and a spiraling braid behind her head, with a series of thin curly pony tails hanging from her head, one of which is her white streak. Intertwined with the pony tails is a set of thin green satin ribbons. The hair do is not quite as intricate as on the Harrods doll, who has two very thin braids in addition to the pony tails, and more satin ribbons. She almost perfectly formed long curving rooted eyelashes, that are even better looking than the ones on the Harrods Anna. She has a beautiful round face with very large blue green eyes, small pointy nose, thin bright pink lips in a slight smirk, and rouge on upper cheeks and the front of her chin, representing her skin being chilled by cold weather. She has freckles all over her face, but unlike the Harrods doll, none on her neck, shoulders, chest or upper back.
She is a very beautiful doll, with a splendid outfit, that is fit for royalty. She is also very movie accurate, and well worth her price. Although she is not as exotic as her sister, the Snow Queen Elsa, Anna has an adorable, warm expression on her face, and is very elegant in her own right.

Review of Elsa LE 2500 17'' Doll
Elsa is wearing her Snow Queen outfit, that is similar in design to the that of the Harrods LE 100 Elsa doll, but is less detailed. The light blue green satin inner dress is essentially the same in both dolls, but the Harrods dolls has a few more round crystals just below the bodice. The front of the bodice is covered in rectangular crystals representing icicles. The skirt has a slit for the legs and has a diminishing density of round clear rhinestones closer to the hemline. The attached oversized cape (or gown overlay) is made of double layered organza, with dark blue embroidery and jewels. It is less full and much less detailed than the Harrods cape. In particular, the icicle and snowflake embroidered patterns with the accompanying jewels are only near the edges of the cape, and there are no jewels in the area between the icicles and the snowflakes. Instead, there is a covering of clear hexagonal glitter. Fortunately, the glitter is glued very securely to the cape is sheds very little. There are also fewer blue jewels in her sheer long sleeves than on the Harrods doll.
Her high heeled blue shoes are same snowflake design as the Harrods, except that the color is a plainer blue, without the iridescence or silver paint making it look metallic. Like the Harrods Elsa, she has fixed angled feet, so she looks elegant in her high heels. Other than that, she has the same articulation as the most current Disney Store 17'' Limited Edition Princess dolls. She has ball jointed neck, shoulders, elbows, wrists and hips. Her knees are external hinge joints. She can free stand with the help of her gown, but only with great difficultly, and is very unstable in that pose, the same as with the Harrods doll. Therefore almost all the photos of her standing have her supported by the included doll stand.
She has light blonde hair that is formed into long braids. There are long curvy bangs that are combed back and heavily gelled to form a sort of crown over her head. There is a solitary curly bang on the left side of her head. She long curving rooted eyelashes, that are not as curvy or well formed as the Harrods Elsa (or the LE 2500 Anna). There are two snowflake jeweled ornaments that are sewn to her braid. The Harrods Elsa has a third snowflake on the side of her head. She has a beautiful angular face with an elfin appearance. She as large blue eyes, small pointy nose, thin deep red lips in a slight closed mouth smile, and rouge on upper cheeks. She has a few freckles on her upper cheeks, in an identical pattern to the Harrods Elsa. Her skin is a very pale purplish pink, that is smooth and dull in appearance. She is slightly paler than the Harrods doll, who has shiny pearly textured skin.
She is a very beautiful doll, with an exotic face and a commanding presence. She has a dramatic outfit that is fit for royalty. She is also very movie accurate, and well worth her price.

Proseguono con successo gli incontri organizzati da FotoFucina dedicati alla cultura fotografica. In occasione del prossimo appuntamento, mercoledì 28 maggio alle 19.30, FotoFucina accoglierà gli amici dell’Associazione Culturale Positivo Diretto, che presenteranno un percorso tematico legato alla Fotografia Contemporanea. Attraverso una breve digressione storica si prenderanno in analisi esperienze artistiche e progetti di autori italiani e stranieri che si sono approcciati alla disciplina fotografica in maniera personale, producendo case histories esclusive.
Positivo Diretto, collettivo di giovani pugliesi professionisti in diverse discipline legate all’arte e al mondo della cultura, è l’ideatore del format Bitume Photofest (www.bitumephotofest.org), il primo festival urbano dedicato alla Fotografia Contemporanea, che avrà luogo a Lecce il prossimo Settembre, ed invaderà il territorio cittadino con una proposta di fruizione culturale piuttosto insolita, ospitando inoltre a Lecce professionisti della fotografia noti a livello internazionale, che prenderanno parte al percorso formativo e divulgativo del festival, in occasione di preziosi e gratuiti momenti di formazione.
In occasione dell’incontro, nel corso della serata, gli amici di Positivo Diretto presenteranno ufficialmente il loro primo progetto editoriale, Carte d’imbarco: il titolo della pubblicazione rimanda vagamente ad antiche tipologie di oggetti fotografici, come le "cartes de visite", e naturalmente all’idea di accesso ad altri mondi, temporali ed immaginifici. È un piccolo ed emozionante progetto editoriale dedicato all’immagine fotografica e alla scrittura, complici alcune fotografie recuperate da botteghe e mercati antiquari dei primi del 1900.
Così si descrive il progetto: "Per questioni radicate nella storia di ciascuno di noi, c'è grande interesse non solo per l'immagine fotografica, ma anche per il legame - non sempre facile o scontato - che essa ha da sempre avuto con la scrittura; la passione per l'autoproduzione editoriale e il visual design completano il cerchio. Da qui la prima tappa del progetto, la prima pubblicazione di questa collana editoriale: invitare i primi cinque scrittori e invitarli a farsi trascinare all'interno dell’oggetto fotografico a loro affidato. Fotografie di sconosciuti, fotografie "di nessuno", espropriate e ritornate ad essere magma visuale fuori dalla raccolta, fuori da quel cassetto, da quell’album, fotografie di chi non c'è più o di chi le ha perdute, fotografie che viaggiano di mano in mano, rafforzandosi della loro natura di portali, di fessura verso l'immaginazione, verso il viaggio. Carte d’imbarco."
Formed by two huge volcanoes, Banks Peninsula sits to the east of Christchurch city and is a distinctive feature of the east coast of New Zealand's South Island.
Once covered in tall native forest the peninsula has been burned and felled in the early history of human settlement in New Zealand to the extent that only tiny scraps of the original cover remain.
Nevertheless it is a dramatic landscape with spectacular volcanic cliffs, and steeply rolling hills covered in grasses, scrub and forest remnants and often topped by volcanic crags and outcrops.
Godley heads is a popular walking and mountainbiking area only minutes from Christchurch city on the northern bank of Lyttelton harbour, the harbour itself being a sea-drowned crater.
With protection, some of the orginal forest is regenerating and birds locally extinct on the peninsula (or nearly so) such as the korimako (bellbird) are coming back.
The harsh climate and unique landscape of the peninsula and the neighbouring Kaitorete Spit have produced a number of plant and insect species not found anywhere else in New Zealand.
Back in 1816, James Foster, an ironmaster, and engineer John Urpeth Rastrick became partners and formed the company in 1819. The place was badly damaged by fire in 2004.
John Rastrick was an important man, not just in Stourbridge but internationally. He was one of the official observers, or judges in the Rainhill Trials, a competition to win the contract to supply the locomotives for the Liverpool and Manchester Railway. Without his observations, we may not have known the colour and appearance of the winner, The Rocket.
Inside the foundry, four locomotives were made. The two most famous being the Stourbridge Lion and Agenoria, the latter which worked at the Shutt End Colliery, near Birmingham, for over 35 years. It was built to move coal trucks from mine workings to canal and river navigations and surrounding Iron foundries. It is now in the National Railway museum in York.
The Stourbridge Lion was also built here. It became the first locomotive to run on rails in the United States, in fact, andywhere in the Western Hemisphere. It operated between Honesdale and Seely's Mills in Pennsylvania on the Delaware and Hudson Canal Company's railroad, August 8, 1829. Only the bioler and a few other parts remain on show at the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Museum.
It is a shame that such an important place in not just Stourbridge's but railway history is in such a bad state.

Business is so bad at CVS, that they are getting rid of cash registers. They definitely don't need them.
"Deadwood lies in a canyon formed by Whitewood Creek in the northern Black Hills, more than 4,530 feet (1,380 metres) above sea level. Built at the base of the steep wooded inclines of Deadwood Gulch and extending up the hillsides, it was named for the dead trees found in the canyon.
The city was founded during the 1876 gold rush, when about 25,000 miners swarmed the surrounding hills. Its turbulent reputation as a lawless outpost of frontier violence was magnified by the Deadwood Dick series of dime novels. Wild Bill Hickok, soldier, scout, and marshal, was killed in a Deadwood saloon on August 2, 1876, by Jack McCall. Hickok is buried in Mount Moriah Cemetery, near Calamity Jane, Preacher Smith, Seth Bullock, and other celebrated frontier characters who died in the vicinity; the reenactment of Hickok’s killing and the capture and trial of McCall is a popular tourist spectacle. A railroad link was completed in 1891, and Deadwood became a regional trading centre. Gambling was central to Deadwood’s history, but it was prohibited in 1905; gaming in Deadwood was again legalized, through a state referendum, in 1989.
The economy is driven largely by tourism, based primarily on dozens of gaming halls. The city itself is a national historic landmark. Pop. (2000) 1,380."

Una forma de poder llegar a otros usuarios, clientes, interesados y artistas de la misma generación
Un ejemplo
La llegada de la informatización de todos los procesos ha afectado a todos los sectores y actividades profesionales. De hecho, en algunos casos, se ha conseguido ahorrar en tiempo, gestión de las obligaciones con una administración concreta y ha logrado la eficiencia desde cualquier lugar con acceso a la red. De esta manera, la figura del pintor Iñaki García Ergüin ha optado por el camino de la digitalización de toda su colección, desde las obras de estudio hasta la documentación del pasado, con especial hincapié a las referencias de las primeras exposiciones, cuadros y testimonios recogidos en los medios de comunicación. En la innovación, como es el caso, ha logrado centrar la atención de sus seguidores en la Aldea Global, que es aquella en la que participamos todos y donde Internet ha impuesto unas nuevas reglas de juego para comunicar, compartir y vender. Por otro lado, el pintor bilbaíno participará en los próximos meses en una serie de eventos, con el fin de seguir exhibiendo su obra. Es muy reseñable que un profesional del mundo del arte haya decidido subirse a la nube. Éste, que es el camino, es un ejemplo de los muchos que veremos para poder realizar una Campaña de Comunicación en redes sociales, por medio de la web y llegando a todo tipo de público.
En el evento que participamos ayer, que está publicado en Facebook, un artista, que inició su trayectoria profesional en 1951 en la ciudad de Bilbao, se ha decantado por la comunicación, así como por llevar a cabo un proceso que implica la digitalización de toda su obra, con el objeto de catalogarla, saber qué es lo que tiene, conocer la documentación y poder llegar a todos los ámbitos, para que los interesados, amantes del mundo de la pintura y del dibujo sepan de la existencia de las distintas colecciones, exposiciones y técnicas desarrolladas en cada cuadro.
Iñaki García Ergüin se ha subido a una nube, donde la organización es una realidad y las aplicaciones de gestión han logrado sintetizar el importante legado documental, que abarca desde la década de los cuarenta del siglo XX, una significativa carrera profesional hasta nuestros días.
En ese sentido, en el colectivo de los artistas, pintores y otros profesionales de las distintas actividades, el conseguir llevar a cabo un proceso de digitalización es una obligación y ventaja, no sólo por el análisis de una forma cómoda del material, sino por la valoración que supone saber qué es lo que tienen.
En otro orden de cosas, a día de ayer nos llamó la atención la noticia del ahorro de costes que ha supuesto la puesta en marcha de una tramitación telemática y digital por parte del Ayuntamiento de Catarroja en la Comunidad Autónoma de Valencia.
Dos millones de euros, ha sido la estimación de los dirigentes de la entidad local, lo cual, si atendemos a la ley y a las formas de poder llevar a cabo una gestión inteligente en la burocracia de los Ayuntamientos hacia la ciudadanía, es una noticia que hace referencia al cambio de hábitos y costumbres, sin olvidarnos de ponérselo fácil a las personas que desean llevar a cabo sus trámites con las Administraciones.
El Cloud Computing, su escenario, opciones y posibilidades, o bien, la capacidad de almacenar y diseñar una plataforma a gusto, tanto en una nube pública como privada, es el ejemplo a seguir, dado que el día de mañana cada organización será capaz de administrar sus servidores, discos duros, máquinas virtuales y recursos de red (IaaS) en cuestión de segundos, bajo una dirección coherente que sepa cómo realizar los pasos, acciones y desarrollo de las políticas de comunicación de cada entidad, empresa y organización.
Esa alternativa, que rompe con el modelo tradicional, el de toda la vida, es una cuestión de confianza, que no es tan sencilla como parece, pero que requiere de nuevos profesionales que realicen un trabajo de especialización y de futuro para una sociedad interconectada por medio de Internet, así como a través de la Intranet corporativa.
En ese sentido, la figura y capacidad artística de un profesional como Iñaki García Ergüin representa a una persona pionera en un campo donde la gestión documental online puede agilizar la síntesis de la obra, cuadros y resumir la trayectoria en todo tipo de formatos, desde los documentos conocidos (.doc, .docx, .odt) hasta la realización de libros digitales (ePub, .mobi). Una oportunidad que no debe dejar pasar.

Capri teve seu destino alterado no século 19 quando ingleses e alemães descobriram os atrativos da ilha: pescadores passaram a alugar seus barcos, agricultores, a cuidar dos pequenos hotéis. Hoje, muitos visitantes vêm a Capri não mais em busca do paraíso, e sim atraídos pela badalação. O burburinho é intenso, não somente em terra firme como também no mar. O motivo? Capri está sempre am alta! A ilha tem 6 km de extensão por 2 km de largura, pequena, mas infinitamente cheia de encantos e de história para se descobrir. Tudo em Capri é caro, barato mesmo só as garrafinhas de limoncello - limão típico da região.
Capri está no golfo de Nápoles (região da Campania), no mar Tirreno, a pouca distância do continente, os protagonistas são as rochas e o mar. Há dois Portos: Marina Piccola e Marina Grande. Na Marina Piccola deve-se descer as escadas para chegar à praia e ao Scoglio della Sirene, onde diz a lenda, viviam as sereias que encantaram Ulisses. A montanha é coberta pela espontânea vegetação típica mediterrânea, em especial , os pinheiros do mar. Na Villa Jovis, está a casa do Imperador Tibério, com 7000 metros quadrados, onde dedicou sua vida privada, seu refúgio, desconfiado de que tramavam sua morte em Roma, mudou-se para Capri em 27 depois de Cristo. Inimigos, traidores e demais desgraçados, eram jogados penhasco abaixo. Em algumas regiões da ilha, a apenas 500 metros da costa, já se encontra a 600 metros de profundidade. Graças à sua formação calcária, Capri está repleta de Grutas, a mais famosa de todas: A Gruta Azul.
Há mais de 600 anos duas fábricas de perfumes aproveitam as flores típicas da ilha, em especial do limão (limoncello) e da laranja para extrair as suas essências. Nas suas vielas, além do aroma, há uma profusão de boutiques de marcas internacionais. Lojas, galerias, mercados de frutas e gente: gente que brota das rochas! O ponto mais alto da ilha é o Monte Solaro, 589 metros acima do nível do mar. Aqui a vista parece não ter fronteiras: em baixo fica toda a cidade de Capri, em frente o Vesúvio, o golfo de Nápoles e a península Sorrentina, mais ao fundo, as montanhas da Calábria, os Apeninos e a Costa Amalfitana com as ilhotas Galli.
A Ilha de Capri foi descoberta pelos romanos em 29 a.D., quando Augusto, primeiro Imperador Romano, voltava de uma campanha militar do Oriente e foi amor à primeira vista, onde constrói residência. O seu sucessor, Tibério, chegou a governar o Império Romano da Villa Imperial, e ergueu 12 mansões em Capri, também no município de Anacapri. A maior delas, a Villa Jovis, onde viveu com o seu sobrinho-neto Calígula. Tibério passou seus últimos dez anos de vida na sua Vila em Capri, morrendo de causas naturais. Após sua morte, deixou o Império ao sobrinho-neto Calígula e ao neto Gemelo. Pouco tempo depois, Calígula manda matar o primo e torna-se o único Imperador, em 37 d.C. (Ruínas da Vila Jovis preservadas).
OS FARAGLIONE DE CAPRI
São três picos de rochas que saem do mar a poucos metros da costa. O primeiro, unido à terra, chama-se Stella ou de Terra (111 m de altura). O segundo, separado do primeiro por um pedaço de mar, Faraglione di Mezzo (81 m de altura), onde um arco natural de grandes dimensões permite passagens de barcos, a inconsistência da rocha determinou uma contínua erosão. A tradição manda expressar os mais profundos desejos e sentimentos ao atravessar o Fariglione di Mezzo: gritar, aplaudir, fazer pedidos, agradecer, até mesmo chorar. O terceiro, Faraglione di Fuori ou Scopolo (105 m de altura), separado do anterior por um estreito braço de mar de 8 metros. Sobre o Scopolo vive a famosa Lagarta Azul dos Faraglioni, é o único lugar do mundo onde encontrá-la. Dizem que ela ganhou esta cor para se camuflar com o mar azul e com o céu.
