A mere fraction of the hundreds upon hundreds of new vehicles being held at the auto port in Eastern Passage, near Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. Using trains, boats and plenty of manpower, this place is a "beehive" of activity and I wondered how they can keep everything sorted. Sitting there amid a field of rusted fuel tanks, at the old Texaco and Ultramar storage plant, one thinks about their first introduction to the world of rust. There was rust in the air as the Spring Peepers sang in accompaniment off in the distance!
A fractious shot. This photo was taken on July 8, 2011 in East Dereham, England, GB, using a Nikon D60 despite the visual evidence.
Shot this at a wedding. The entrance to the building was glowing blue with all those decorative lights. The bokeh was simply irresistible to just watch and not take a shot.
Matt talked a lot with his hands that added to the excitement of his stories he was telling us. Too bad that doesn't come across on the show.

Runo (Fraction of Dumenza)
The municipality of Dumenza, located in a valley surrounded by woods, determined the name of Val Dumentina. In 1978, some inhabitants of Runo decided to start a cultural-tourist initiative called "Runo per l'affresco" in order to create a "wall book" to "browse" along the streets of the town. The project, which was supposed to continue until 2000, was interrupted around 1983, but still managed to provide the walls of the houses with more than a hundred frescoes by different artists who treated the most diverse subjects. Other frescoes can be admired in the nearby hamlet of Stivigliano. Alongside this initiative, the idea of ​​decorating the house number tiles with motifs of local flora and fauna also developed.
The house painter who stole the Mona Lisa
Dumenza is the birthplace of the artist Bernardino Luini, a student of Leonardo da Vinci, and Vincenzo Peruggia, a humble house painter who went down in history for stealing the Mona Lisa from the Louvre in 1911. The hamlet of Runo is also famous for another name, that of Bartolomeo Scappi, "secret" chef of Pope Pius V and author of the greatest Renaissance cookery treatise, Opera dell'arte di cucinare.
Each character has its own values and has its own specialization.
