Questa foto a cui sono particolarmente legato è uno di una serie di scatti fatti nel cuore del porto antico della città di Genova e di cui uno già pubblicato lo scorso anno. Questo scatto mi piace particolarmente perché quando stavo preparando la composizione è passata improvvisamente una piccola ochetta che mi ha concesso solo un attimo per tentare di immortalarla insieme alla magica biosfera e parte del meraviglioso porto contornata da meravigliose nuvole color arancio.
Genoa isn't usually recommended as a tourist destination, but I found it actually quite interesting - a LOT of history and a bustling port (I was in the Navy, and I may appreciate ports more than most people) ...
Genoa has historically been one of the most important ports on the Mediterranean. it is currently the busiest in Italy and twelfth-busiest in the European Union. It is the birthplace of Christopher Columbus.
Porto Antico, Genoa’s old port, which native son Renzo Piano transformed by rejuvenating its old buildings, designing an aquarium (the largest in Europe), and the Bigo Crane, now an iconic symbol for the new-old port. Its lift takes you up 40 meters to enjoy sweeping views of the city. The word "bigo" refers to a shipyard crane. Copying a ship's crane, Piano wanted to remind viewers of the loading cranes on decks of cargo ships in the past. Here it's a branched cluster of white arms and cables joined at a small podium in the water of the port. The longest of the poles on the quay side supports an elevator with a turning glass enclosure.
Internationally known architect Renzo Piano was born in Genoa. Piano was responsible for the master plan as well as specific areas for the redevelopment of the area of the old port (or the Porto Antico), which had suffered bomb damage during World War II and was in a shabby state. It became the focus of redevelopment as a way of marking the five hundredth anniversary of Columbus' discovery of America--as part of the Columbus International Exhibition in 1992. Piano transformed the wharves into a huge tourist attraction by converting warehouses into shops, restaurants, and museums.

Dear Flickr friends, this morning I went to Genoa for work, and I was so lucky to take a look at this wonderful sunrise. I took this photo with my cameraphone from the railroad, when the train stopped at Genova Nervi railway station.
I only cropped this shot, colours are original (please see EXIF).
Non sarà di certo come quella di Londra, ma la ruota panoramica al Porto Antico regale luce e colore alle notti genovesi

Today was an interesting day. It started with snow and heavy winds in Hope Valley, and I decided to drive East off the mountain towards Nevada. Genoa was recommended to me by a couple of people as a place to explore. Genoa is the oldest community in Nevada and was founded in 1851. The original watering hole is still serving beer today.
As I was driving out of town, I wanted to capture some trees that still had yellow leaves on them next to a creek. I got a couple of worthy shots and then I saw this rainbow. Of course, I pulled over when I saw a place that I could frame it well. This was the winner and the beginning of a fun day of exploring.
San Lorenzo dates from 1180 - the B & W marble style was used more famously (but a century later) in places like Siena, but it is impressive here as well...

yesterday's excursion - about two hours from home; very pretty bay...and of course, it is the season for reflections.
A loaded rock train bound for Genoa in southeast Houston rolls down UP's Galveston Sub. In just a mile the train will stop to throw the switch into Martin Marietta's rock yard.
