American White Pelicans look elegant in flight, but take-offs and landings can be a messy sight. They are heavy-bodied and require a running start, and landings often involve a big splash.
They are a reliable constant at J.N."Ding" Darling National Wildlife Refuge, so that's usually our first stop when visiting Florida.
“Sometimes that
which we fear
strengthens our
spirit and gives
us a splash
of hope.”

Fontana dell'Amerano in Piazza Duomo a Catania
In front of the Palazzo degli Elefanti, seat of the Town Hall, on the southern side of Piazza Duomo, it is possible to see the Amenano Fountain, which takes its name from the Amenano river which flows underground.
Built in 1837 in Carrara marble by Tito Angelini, the fountain figuratively represents the river as a young man who, from a cornucopia, pours water into a pod-shaped chalice basin, at the base of which two tritons in turn pour the water in the channel crossed by the Amenano river in this visible stretch.
The people of Catania call this fountain "acqua a linzolu" because the water from the fountain pours like a small waterfall into the river and produces an evocative and characteristic "sheet" effect and also because in the past the commoners washed their linen in the river from this canal.

Di fronte il Palazzo degli Elefanti, sede del Municipio, sul lato meridionale di piazza Duomo, è possibile vedere la Fontana dell’Amenano, che prende il nome dal fiume Amenano che scorre sotterraneo.
Costruita nel 1837 in marmo di Carrara da Tito Angelini, la fontana rappresenta figurativamente il fiume come un giovane che, da una cornucopia, versa l’acqua in una vasca a calice baccellato, alla base della quale due tritoni riversano a loro volta l’acqua nel canale percorso dal fiume Amenano in questo tratto visibile.
I catanesi chiamano questa fontana “acqua a linzolu” perché l’acqua della fontana versandosi come una piccola cascata nel fiume produce un suggestivo e caratteristico effetto “lenzuolo” e anche perché in passato da questo canale le popolane lavavano la loro biancheria nel fiume.
I know a silly old fool who fell/rolled straight in this stream flat on his back full body length, today. I've promised to keep his identity secret.
He was taking a photograph,, lost his balance, toppled over, rolled down the steep little bank and straight in on his back and side. Like a seal in a rockpool with a camera. Apparently, there was nothing this chap could do to save himself as he was too busy saving the camera. This chap's wife who witnessed the sad event is still laughing. Still. There is no photographic record of the event because the half-wit fish didn't take a selfy.
The stream is at the bottom of our garden and the above plants are Teasel bowed down with the weight of rain they took in March, pointing at the stream like some bizarre - and if you don't mind me saying, rather sick, premonition......
As the sun sets, it is finding an opening through the clouds, the wind is increasing and the water splashes up.

Thank you for your visit, most appreciated!
I have just returned from my business trip to the Baltic Sea. It was a nice evening to spend by the sea and I brought back a few shots that I really like.
But my stay at home is just as short as this wave's visit to the groynes here.
There's just enough time to post a photo and eat something (in that order, of course). Then it's repacked and off we go again.
This time, however, as a private pleasure.
Gerade komme ich von meiner Dienstreise an die Ostsee zurück. Es war ein schöner Abend, den ich am Meer verbringen konnte, und ich hab auch ein paar Aufnahmen mitgebracht, die mir richtig gut gefallen.
Doch genau so kurz, wie der Besuch dieser Welle an den Buhnen hier war, genau so kurz ist auch mein Aufenthalt zu Hause.
Da ist gerade genug Zeit um ein Foto zu posten und etwas zu essen (natürlich in dieser Reihenfolge). Dann wird umgepackt und es geht wieder los.
Dieses Mal allerdings als ein privates Vergnügen.
