Il centro abitato, fondato intorno al XVII secolo, dislocato in gran parte su un promontorio che si affaccia direttamente sul mare, e’ nato inizialmente come borgo marinaro alle dipendenze di un antica tonnara.
This is but a fraction of this massive double waterfall. The whole thing in frame is a kind of an awkward composition from the viewpoint at the end of the trail. I like this one and another one I'll post in a while much better.

Borgo Parrini is a small fraction of the municipality of Partinico, in the province of Palermo, characterized by colorful houses decorated in full Gaudì style.
Today very few people live there who, however, in the last ten years have decided to give the village a new life. A local entrepreneur had the intuition to make it an unusual place and started a renovation of the houses in the style of the Catalan artist Gaudì.
The facades of the houses are colored with bright colors and writings, the walls have mosaic decorations and colorful tiles and the small village has become a very popular place for travellers.

Borgo Parrini è una piccola frazione del comune di Partinico, nella provincia di Palermo, caratterizzato da casette colorate e decorate in pieno stile Gaudì.
Oggi vi abitano pochissime persone che, tuttavia, negli ultimi dieci anni, hanno deciso di dare al borgo una nuova vita. Un imprenditore locale ha avuto l’intuizione di renderlo un luogo insolito e ha avviato una ristrutturazione delle case secondo lo stile dell’artista catalano Gaudì.
Le facciate delle case sono colorate con tinte vivaci e scritte, i muri recano decorazioni a mosaico e piastrelle variopinte e il piccolo borgo è diventato un luogo molto visitato dai viaggiatori.

Borgo Parrini is a small fraction of the municipality of Partinico, in the province of Palermo, characterized by colorful houses decorated in full Gaudì style.
The name derives from the fact that the fields around Partinico were bought by the Jesuit fathers in the 1500s. The name parrini, in fact, in Sicilian means priests.
So it was an area managed by the religious consisting of a small country church and a convent around which, later, the village arose with lodgings for the settlers and agricultural labourers.
In 1767, then, this village became the property of the French prince Henri d'Orleans who set up a farm for the production of a wine that soon became much appreciated and sought after. After the Second World War many of the inhabitants preferred to move to the city and the village remained almost uninhabited and therefore began its inevitable decline.

Borgo Parrini è una piccola frazione del comune di Partinico, nella provincia di Palermo, caratterizzato da casette colorate e decorate in pieno stile Gaudì.
Il nome deriva dal fatto che i campi intorno a Partinico nel 1500 furono acquistati dai padri Gesuiti. Il nome parrini, infatti, in siciliano significa proprio preti .Quindi era un’area gestita dai religiosi costituita da una piccola chiesa di campagna e un convento attorno a cui, in seguito, sorse il borgo con gli alloggi per i coloni e i braccianti agricoli.
Nel 1767, poi, questo borgo divenne proprietà del principe francese Henri d’Orleans che vi impiantò una azienda agricola per la produzione di un vino che presto divenne molto apprezzato e ricercato. Dopo la seconda guerra mondiale molti degli abitanti preferirono trasferirsi in città e il borgo rimase quasi disabitato e quindi iniziò la sua inevitabile decadenza.
Oggi vi abitano pochissime persone che, tuttavia, negli ultimi dieci anni, hanno deciso di dare al borgo una nuova vita. Un imprenditore locale ha avuto l’intuizione di renderlo un luogo insolito e ha avviato una ristrutturazione delle case secondo lo stile dell’artista catalano Gaudì.

The Tonnara di Scopello dates back to 1200 and is one of the oldest in Sicily. The activity continued until 1984 and every year, on average, about 500 tuna were caught.
The tonnara rises in a magical inlet, framed by steep cliffs and bathed by clear waters. The stacks emerge from the sea a few meters from the shore and make this small gulf even more fascinating.
The tonnara is located in Sicily, in the western part, in the locality of Scopello.
Scopello is a small fraction of the Municipality of Castellammare del Golfo, in the province of Trapani, which has about 400 inhabitants.

La Tonnara di Scopello risale al 1200 ed è una delle più antiche di Sicilia. L’attività è proseguita fino al 1984 e ogni anno, in media, venivano catturati circa 500 tonni.
La tonnara sorge in un’insenatura magica, incorniciata da ripide scogliere e bagnata da acque limpide. I faraglioni sbucano dal mare a pochi metri da riva e rendono ancora più affascinante questo piccolo golfo.
La tonnara si trova in Sicilia, nella parte occidentale, in località Scopello.
Scopello è una piccola frazione del Comune di Castellammare del Golfo, in provincia di Trapani, che conta circa 400 abitanti.

Moon Phase for today: Feb 05, 2023, captured this morning as the moon was setting just before sunrise.
The Moon's current phase for today and tonight is a Full Moon phase. The Moon will be visible throughout the night sky rising at sunset in the east and setting with the sunrise the next morning in the west. During a Full Moon the moon is 100% illuminated as seen from Earth and is on the opposite side of the Earth from the Sun. The point at which a Full Moon occurs can be measured down to a fraction of a second. The time it takes between full moons is known as a Synodic month and is 29.530587981 days long. [...].
On February 5 the Moon is 14.52 days old. This refers to how many days it has been since the last New Moon. It takes 29.53 days for the Moon to orbit the Earth and go through the lunar cycle of all 8 Moon phases. Moongiant

Thank you for visiting and for all of your kind comments, awards and faves -- I appreciate them all.
This is just a fraction of the number of King Penguins that were at this location. There are really no words to describe the feeling of being among thousands of penguins that show absolutely no fear of people. It was quite a humbling experience. Now I say that I should have taken more pictures but sometimes it was so overwhelming that you just had to look and take it all in. We were told that there were more than 250,000 penguins at some locations. This was the summer season in the Southern Ocean and they come here only to nest, then return north to warmer waters during the winter.
We were also told that the older penguins nest to the inside of the group and the first time nesters stay to the outside. This is because there is more risk of predators getting the chicks that are on the outside and the more experienced penguins know that. Taken at Gold Harbour, South Georgia on the cruise to Falkland Islands, South Georgia and Antarctic Peninsula.
Thank you for your visit and comments. They are very much appreciated.
A fraction late locking on to this pair so not as sharp as I would have liked, but still nice to see the two together....taken @ Kidwelly Quay

The history of Quaglietta begins when, to stop the Saracen incursions in the Sele Valley, it was decided to build 3 fortresses: Valva, Senerchia and Quaglietta, (which however at the time was called castrum Quallectae).
The first settlement was therefore a military fortress built on a rocky spur (284 m above sea level) to which a village was added over time.
The name has nothing to do with quails as many believe but with the ancient Latin name of the area or Acque electe which translates as pure water and refers to the richness and purity of the waters that flow in the area.
Although the town is closely linked to the municipalities of the Sele Valley belonging to the province of Salerno, it is part of the province of Avellino and is a fraction of the municipality of Calabritto.
The 1980 earthquake hit this town hard but it was renovated with great attention and today the ancient medieval village retains its ancient splendor and is a tourist attraction.
La storia di Quaglietta inizia quando per frenare le incursioni di saraceni nella Valle del Sele fu decisa la costruzione delle 3 fortezze: Valva, Senerchia e Quaglietta, (che però all'epoca si chiamava castrum Quallectae) .
------------------------------
Il primo insediamento fu quindi una fortezza militare costruita su uno sperone roccioso (284 m sul livello del mare) a cui nel tempo si aggiunse un borgo.
Il nome non ha nulla a che fare con le quaglie come in molti credono ma con l'antico nome latino della zona ovvero Acque electe la cui traduzione è acqua pura e fa riferimento alla ricchezza e purezza delle acque che sgorgano in zona.
Pur essendo il paese strettamente legato ai comuni della Valle del Sele appartenenti alla provincia di Salerno fa parte della provincia di Avellino ed è una frazione del comune di Calabritto.
Il terremoto del 1980 ha colpito duramente questo paese che però è stato ristrutturato con grande attenzione e oggi l'antico borgo medievale conserva l'antico splendore ed è una attrazione turistica.
tonight's sunset was an awesome display of nature's imagination! in fleeting moments I captured a fraction of its beauty!
a fraction of that total on a few more photography books so you can study the images therein to better use the camera you already have :-)

This view shows a small fraction of the tundra swan activity on Sunday afternoon near Brownsville MN. The swan staging area extends for about 3 miles on the upper Mississippi River here and those distant flying swans are about 1 1/2 miles or 2400 meters away from where I was standing on the west shore. The Wisconsin shoreline would be an additional 800 meters to the east. If you care to zoom in on this rather fuzzy photo since there's some atmospheric distortion, you can see hundreds of ducks, some Canada geese and even a few American white pelicans joining in the mix.
Float homes [...] feature truly waterfront living with ocean or river views at a fraction of the price. Neighbours include herons, sea lions, bald eagles and many other forms of wildlife. [...] New models include the usual home amenities such as stainless-steel appliances, heated floors, soaker tubs, on-demand water heaters, and even rooftop decks. [...].

Marine mammal native to the coasts Pacific Ocean, the heaviest member of the weasel family, but among the smallest marine mammals, quite distinct from seals and sea lions. Unlike most marine mammals, the sea otter's primary form of insulation is an exceptionally thick coat of fur, the densest in the animal kingdom. Its use of rocks to dislodge prey and to open shells makes it one of the few mammal species to use tools. Sea otters once numbered 150,000–300,000, but were hunted extensively for their fur between 1741 and 1911. The world population fell to 1,000–2,000 individuals living in a fraction of their historic range, only 50 in California. A subsequent international ban on hunting, sea otter conservation efforts, and reintroduction programs into previously populated areas have contributed to numbers rebounding, up to 3000 in California currently. Still, an endangered species. [Paraphrased from Wikipedia] Morro Bay, California.

Une fraction de seconde pour prendre cette triste scène de rue et presque 9 ans pour éditer cette photo et oser la montrer. Une rue piétonne de Lille, France, janvier 2010. Le contraste entre la pauvreté, les soldes affichés en vitrine, la banque dite "populaire", l'indifférence des passants, etc...
