L’edificio si presenta a pianta quadrata ai cui quattro angoli si erigono altrettante torri cilindriche. Ammirando nella sua totalità la costruzione non si può fare a meno di notare gli evidenti rifacimenti ottocenteschi (anche nelle torri) soprattutto nelle parti superiori, sovrastanti le antiche strutture. Sul fronte orientato ad ovest si apre l’ingresso principale del castello sormontato da un’elevazione muraria che si innalza a quota superiore a quella del resto della costruzione; nell’osservare tale ingresso si possono notare ancora le tracce delle sedi delle leve necessarie per il sollevamento del ponte levatoio, ora sostituito da uno in muratura che scavalca il fossato che circonda l’intera costruzione. Il fossato naturalmente non ha più le funzioni difensive (con riempimento d’acqua), ma è stato trasformato in un elegante ed austero giardino.
Abandoned Volvo PV. Discovered this on a little hike last year. There were also a couple of other wrecks nearby.

Sunset in Palos Verdes, Los Angeles. Dramatic skies. A beautiful start to the evening on the edge of the Pacific Ocean.
die Sonne lässt ihn langsam rutschen - inzwischen ist alles hinuntergedonnert und wir haben keinen Schnee mehr
Engerth 2-6+4 No.31 of the 1000mm gauge F.C. Ponferrada - Villablino coal railway heads the 1535 passenger from Villablino.
costruito nel 1323 ad opera di Marco Visconti. Distrutto già agli inizi del Quattrocento viene ricostruito completamente nel Cinquecento sotto gli Sforza. Passato nei secoli a diversi proprietari, dall'Ottocento di proprietà della famiglia Vochieri prima e dagli attuali proprietari ora. Le ultime importanti modifiche alla struttura, vi sono state apportate nel 1882 dall'architetto vigevanese Luigi Vandone, che ne trasformò la funzione da prettamente difensiva, a piacevole residenza signorile.
[NL] In 2022 vierde InterRail het 50-jarig bestaan. Dat werd gevierd met een kortingsactie: 50% korting op maandpassen. In een impulsieve bui besloot ik ook een pas te kopen. Deze gebruikte ik hoofdzakelijk voor mijn enkele reis naar Estland. Op de 6e dag van mijn reis naar Estland had ik een rustdag in de hoofdstad van Letland: Riga. Deze dag gebruikte ik om onder andere het Letse spoorwegmuseum te bezoeken. ’s Avonds maakte ik nog een wandeling en maakte daarbij wat foto’s, onder meer van het passerend treinverkeer op de brug over de Westelijke Dvina.
Het passagiersvervoer per spoor is in Letland niet bijzonder divers. Ten tijde van opname waren de enige raampjestreinen die van Pasažieru Vilciens. In 2022 bestond het materieelpark louter uit oude Sovjetproducties, maar anno 2024 zijn de eerste Škoda 16Ev-treinstellen ook ingestroomd. Op de foto zien we echter een zesdelige ER2T, eentje met de oude kopvorm, onderweg naar eindbestemming Riga, op de avond van 26 augustus 2022. Verder zien we op de achtergrond van links naar rechts de werkzaamheden aan het station van Riga, dat wordt voorbereid op Rail Baltica, de markthallen van Riga en de Letse Wetenschapsacademie.
[EN] In 2022, I made an Interrail trip towards the Baltic States. On day 6, I had the entire day to spend in Riga. After dinner, I made a walk towards the other side of the Western Dvin/Daugava. The sole passenger operator in Latvia, Pasažieru Vilciens, uses USSR rolling stock only, back in 2022. Now, in 2024, the first Škoda 16Ev EMU’s are in service. The photo shows an unknown ER2T EMU approaching its final call, Riga Main Station, on the evening of August 26, 2022.
[DE] Im Jahr 2022 habe ich eine Reise mit Interrail gemacht. Am 6. Tag war ich in Riga. Nach dem Abendessen machte ich eine Spazierrunde entlang des Dünas (Daugava). Ein Abendbild bei der Eisenbahnbrücke war natürlich eine Pflicht. Ein unbekannter sechsteiliger ER2T-Triebzug, mit Ziel Riga Hbf, überquerte die Düna am Abend des 26. August.
Riga, 2022-08-26
Il complesso medievale, risalente al XII secolo, è oggi un luogo aperto all’arte, alla solidarietà e agli eventi, pubblici e privati.
Moments before the angry Pacific decided to show me who is in charge. The seawall, in front of me, is about as tall as I am. Thirty seconds after this photo was taken a monstrous wave crashed over. With water up to my knees and splashing over my head I bunkered down, facing shore, with my camera and tripod held tightly against my chest, I just took the saturating sea life-lesson. When the quenching subsided, I waddled away and proceeded to the nearest exit. My pockets were filled with sand, my clothes were soaked through, and my ears were ringing. I nodded to the pelicans, I'm sure they were laughing, and scurried up the goat trail that led me here. Lesson being: Always get insurance for your camera rentals. (No cameras were harmed in the making of this tale)
I mentioned in the last couple of days that Yamba is a small port and as it has some dodgy bits of the Clarence River mouth to circumvent, it needs a pilot and pilot boat. Here she is, Pilot Vessel Alvina, tied up in the basin near the mouth of the river adjacent to the caravan park and one end of town. It's a great spot to hire a cabin or pull up in a van and spend a few days or a week or more just lazing about, swimming, fishing and perhaps if you like it, drinking a quiet wine or beer on the bank of the river. And there are some nice restaurants and cafes in town.
The river itself is actually on the other side of the land on the right hand side, the basin comes to a dead end behind me.
