Il Sile a Santa Maria del Piave
Non v'è traccia di S. Maria di Piave nell'antica cartografia. Il generico toponimo di 'Piave Vecchia viene infatti ripetuto in due distinte località rivierasche della sinistra Sile-Piave Vecchia, nel tratto compreso tra Caposile e Jesolo.
Le stesse borgate fluviali, corrispondenti alle attuali S. Maria di Piave e Cà Nani, devono peraltro essere di antica origine ed è facile immaginare che prima dello sviluppo della viabilità di terraferma esse fossero strettamente legate al fiume che cinge la Laguna.
Ancora oggi, isolati come sono dal traffico automobilistico estivo della vicina Provinciale jesolana, esse costituiscono oasi di quiete che invitano alla sosta ed a una dimensione più umana del vivere. S. Maria di Piave, particolarmente, offre una realtà in cui ai silenzi fruscianti del Sile-Piave Vecchia si accosta un'atmosfera di domestica solitudine, scandita dal cinguettare dei passeri o dai richiami delle gallinelle d'acqua.
Luogo di sosta obbligata è qui il ponte pedonale che scavalca il Fiume a monte dell'abitato. Dalla passerella pedonale, alta sul fiume, si coglie infatti un suggestivo paesaggio agro-fluviale e vallivo.
Un colloquio con il pescatore di S. Maria, uno degli ultimi ad esercitare la pesca professionale nel basso Sile-Piave Vecchia, consentirà di conoscere le tecniche e gli strumenti di cattura del pesce di fiume e le stesse specie ittiche fluviali.
Anguille e cefali, ma anche tinche e lucci sono ancora numerosi nelle acque fresche, che fluiscono perennemente dai territori della Marca Trevigiana verso il mare.

Another from Monday's trip out west.
After leaving the Torridon area Steve (Stoates-Findhorn) and I headed for the Applecross Peninsula and stopped for a study of this old croft house.
These old places always make me wish I could have a short trip back in time to see how life was when it was occupied.
Friday the 13th - the sun says goodbye!

The Frontenac County Court House in Kingston, Ontario, Canada is the Courthouse for Frontenac County, Ontario. The Neoclassical building was designed by Edward Horsey and constructed by builders Scobell and Tossell. Alternation after 1874 fire by John Power added the dome tower. It overlooks City Park to its south, and Lake Ontario beyond. The front of the structure features the Royal coat of arms of the United Kingdom.
The building was constructed between 1855 and 1858 as a judicial and administrative complex with a jail in the rear. In 1980 it was designated a National Historic Site of Canada.

Un coucher de soleil derrière le Fort ! d’où le choix de la pose longue avec un réglage lumière sur le soleil .
Seul sur site ! ou presque ...
A sunset behind the Fort! hence the choice of the long exposure with a light setting of the sun.
Only on site! or almost ...

These are not trees but wooden poles of this trabucco.
A trabucco is a massive construction built from wood, which consists of a platform anchored to the rock by large logs of pine of Aleppo, jutting out into the sea, from where two (or more) long arms called antennae stretch out suspended some feet above the water and supporting a huge, narrow-meshed, net (called trabocchetto).
The morphology of the Gargano coast and of Abruzzo determined the presence of two different types of trabucco: the Garganic trabucco is usually anchored to a rocky platform, longitudinally extended to the coastline, from which the antennae depart.
The variant of Abruzzo and Molise, also called bilancia, often insists on shallower coasts and therefore is characterized by the presence of a platform, transversal to the coast, which is connected by a tight bridge made of wooden boards. A bilancia has just one winch, often electrically operating, even when the sea is perfectly calm. Abruzzo bilancia has also a net much smaller than that of Gargano trabucco, another feature that differentiates the two types is the length and number of antennae, more extensive Gargano (also double that of Abruzzo and Molise) in Termoli balances were more than two antennae, Gargano always two or more. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trabucco

After 2 days of boring skies, I was treated to an awesome sky for the evening and morning of my last day. As I watched the clouds roiled and rolled into some fantastic shapes.
Undulatus asperatus (or alternately, asperatus) is a cloud formation, proposed in 2009 as a separate cloud classification by the founder of the Cloud Appreciation Society. If successful it will be the first cloud formation added since cirrus intortus in 1951 to the International Cloud Atlas of the World Meteorological Organization. The name translates approximately as roughened or agitated waves
These clouds are most closely related to undulatus clouds. Although they appear dark and storm-like, they tend to dissipate without a storm forming. The ominous-looking clouds have been particularly common in the Plains states of the United States, often during the morning or midday hours following convective thunderstorm activity.

Creating some great captures was a cinch. I managed to get to several locations for multiple compositions during the display. I felt so lucky to have bagged this shot because I was supposed to be in Death Valley that day but because of unseen circumstances I was forced to shoot for 3 days in the same location, which is rare for me, I usually try to moved to a new location from day to day. As a result of my immobility I decided to skip all the arches and to focus on finding hidden compositions that maybe nobody else has seen before. :)
Thank you for taking the time to take a look at my photos and as always, your views, comments, faves, and support are greatly appreciated!! Have a Happy Easter weekend my friends :)
If you have any questions about this photo or about photography in general, I will do my best to help, just post a comment or send me a Flickr mail and I will respond as quickly as possible.
Mt. Robson is called the Monarch of the Canadian Rockies, and for good reason. Not only is it the highest Canadian peak in the range, at 12,997 feet, but it is a world-class climbing challenge. Mountain climbers admire and respect this mountain. It has earned another name: "The Great White Fright," as only 10% of climbers reach the top.
This is one of the first views of this huge mountain as one approaches from the west on the Yellowhead Highway.
A couple other images in comments for comparison.
Thanks for your visit, comments, faves and suggestions!
El castillo de Alfajarín fue construido en el siglo XI por Aben Alfaje en la atalaya natural de los Montes Blancos, junto a la ermita de la Virgen de la Peña, con el fin de vigilar la ribera del Ebro y proteger Zaragoza.
El acceso era mediante un puente levadizo que estaba flanqueado por dos torres, una de arco apuntado que contenía la puerta de acceso y la otra de gran volumen con detalles góticos y planta cuadrada.
El muro sur ha desaparecido y en el muro norte, mejor conservado, se abre un portillo que lo une a la Torre del Homenaje. En su extremo del este presenta otro torreón pentagonal muy deteriorado.
La Torre del Homenaje, de grandes proporciones, fue construida en el siglo XIV sobre un espolón del muro oeste. Su planta es rectangular de 14 por 10 metros, y su obra de tapial árabe con revestimiento de ladrillo macizo hasta media altura. Sólo conserva dos paredes de gran espesor y el arranque de una tercera.
En el extenso patio interior quedan las ruinas de lo que pudo ser palacio de los Cornel, una serie de paredones y algunas estancias subterráneas abovedadas de gran longitud comunicadas por medio de un pasadizo
