Τα Κορέστεια είναι μια ιστορική περιοχή της Δυτικής Μακεδονίας. Πρόκειται για μια συστάδα ορεινών οικισμών (Άνω και Κάτω Κρανιώνα, Χάλαρα, Άνω και Κάτω Μελάς, Μακροχώρι, Μαυρόκαµπος, Άγιος Αντώνιος, Γάβρος) που παρουσιάζουν έντονο αρχιτεκτονικό και πολιτισμικό ενδιαφέρον. Η παραδοσιακή αρχιτεκτονική των χωριών είναι ιδιαίτερη για την περιοχή της Δυτικής Μακεδονίας. Τα παλαιά σπίτια είναι κατασκευασμένα με πλίνθους με κοκκινόχωμα και άχυρο, που δίνουν το κοκκινωπό χρώμα στο τοπίο της περιοχής. Ο τρόπος κατασκευής των σπιτιών διατηρήθηκε έως τα μέσα του 20ου αιώνα και έπειτα εγκαταλείφθηκε.

 

Korestia is a historic region of Western Macedonia in Greece. It’s a cluster of mountain villages (Ano and Kato Kranionas, Halara, Ano and Kato Melas, Makrochori, Mavrokampos, Agios Antonios, Gavros) exhibiting strong architectural and cultural interest. The traditional architecture of the villages is great for the region of Western Macedonia. Old houses are constructed with handmade bricks with red clay and straw, giving a reddish color to the landscape. The construction of the houses was maintained until the mid-20th century and then abandoned.

Fleurs de physocarpe à feuilles d'Obier 'Diabolo'

 

En mai et juin, le physocarpe à feuilles d'Obier 'Diabolo' produit des bouquets de petites fleurs blanches et roses, qui poussent au bout des tiges. Les fleurs deviennent ensuite des fruits rouges qui attirent les oiseaux et restent sur l'arbuste l'hiver.

----------------------------

The farmhouse Poggio Amorelli owned by the couple Adriana and Marco Mazzarrini is located in one of the most beautiful area in Chianti, near to the village of Castellina in Chianti and one of part of the wineyards are also in Maremma, near the village of Magliana in Tuscany.

It embraces 40 hectars land; 15 hectars of wineyard specialized in the production of Chianti Classico DOCG, Gallo Nero and of Morellino di Scansano DOCG.

 

The Wine production started in 1987, but only in 1995, with the restoration of the wine cellar and with the change in equipments for the wine production, the products started in receiving awards for its quality.

The wines are sold both on the national market as also in foreign countries, majority in Germany and USA. The aim of the Mazzarrini family is to grow in quality and not in quantity, to maintain the characteristics and the management of the family owned company, the only peculiarity to be different in a global market that push towards uniformity of traditions and tastes.

Abends am menschenleeren Strand.

Just beyond the Falls, the creek continues to flow and ends up in the Mississippi River. There was a conveniently placed rock in the middle of this creek I just had to jump to so i didn't even have to get wet for this one.

 

Minnehaha Creek is a 22-mile-long (35 km) tributary of the Mississippi River that flows east from Gray's Bay Dam on Lake Minnetonka through the suburban cities of Minnetonka, Hopkins, Saint Louis Park, and Edina, and the city of Minneapolis. The creek flows over Minnehaha Falls in Minnehaha Park near its mouth at the Mississippi River.

Instant Karma by John Lennon:

 

"Instant Karma's gonna get you

Gonna knock you right on the head

You better get yourself together

Pretty soon you're gonna be dead

What in the world you thinking of

Laughing in the face of love

What on earth you tryin' to do

It's up to you, yeah you."

 

Pictured here is the remains of the (aptly named) SS Instant Karma. Just as Mr. Lennon predicted, Instant Karma was knocked right upside her head (or bow), as she now lies forever in the shallows of the Captree Boat Basin.

There are two types of windmills in Fuerteventura.

The larger, two storey type, which are the original windmills known as El Molino or Los Molinos. These are known as male windmills, large, cumbersome, hard working and costly to maintain.

The others are smaller, single storey buildings that were introduced much later, from mid 1800’s. These take on the feminine form of the name, and are known locally as La Molina or Las Molinas. These ladies are neater, easier to operate, much less work as they are built on a single floor and are far cheaper to maintain. Each windmill has a fantastic character and when you research them, a personal history of their own.

Where is "Wally"?

 

It is a entertainment invented in this photo and figuratively by the existence of a person, on the scene, outside the context where most of the people are on the street!

 

I discovered that person's existence when I edited the photo :-)

 

* I'm grateful for visit, faves and comments of my photo.

The Laugavegur is a famous trekking route in South-West Iceland from the hot springs area of Landmannalaugar to the glacial valley of Þórsmörk . It is noted for the wide variety of landscapes on its 55 km (34 mi) path. The route is typically completed over 2–4 days with potential stops at the mountain huts at Hrafntinnusker, Álftavatn, Hvanngil and Emstrur. An ultramarathon is held on the route each July. It is possible to combine the trek with the Fimmvörðuháls route which goes over the pass from Þórsmörk to Skógar for an additional one or two days or an additional 25 km (16 mi). Landmannalaugar, Þórsmörk, and Skógar are all reachable by bus during the summer. A bus from Hella connects with Álftavatn once a day during the summer.

Happy weekend, my friends.

Magic happens at sunset on the flood plains of Chobe Park. The animals can almost hide in the encroaching darkness, but there is always a hint of their presence.

One of marinas where the boats of Venice are moored is located on the outskirts of Venice. Of course, it is a city of boats and sail boats can be found among the huge number of power boats. The sun was setting as we powered by in one of the boats for hire.
