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.

The church domes of Santorini in the village of Oia. The first one is 'Agios Spyridonas', St. Spyridonas church. The name of the second blue dome in the background is 'Anastaseos' that means resurrection of Christ.

It isn't a fire burning the countryside but a rainstorm is passing far away, between my home and the alps, the air of the sunset is limpid and dry, and the view can go far far away.
This is the stunning, unbelievable, show the sunset of yesterday over the Oltrepo hills.
Every day a new beginning, a new opportunity to realize our best dreams.
Thanks so much for all, have a nice day :D

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 ...
Busy skies reflected in British Columbia's Muncho Lake.
Was pretty in color (in comments) but thought it made for a nice black and white as well.
Enjoy this first week of 2016!

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.

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
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!
Au départ,il y a eu des feuilles du beau coleus de Clo que Lou a mises dans un petit pot afin qu'elles fassent des racines...J'ai vu grandir le coleus à une fenêtre de mon sous-sol...Nous avons même dû le couper en deux tellement il avait grandi...Le printemps dernier, Lou a planté les deux parties dans le jardin...L'une a dépéri et n'a pas survécu...La partie du haut est devenue ce coleus lequel continuera sa vie, au sous-sol,cet hiver...À l'an prochain...peut-être...

Walkers strolling along the Boardwalk in the Yellowstone's Midway Geyser Basin. The Grand Prismatic Spring is magnificent as seen from the chalky, steep, treacherous hill to it's SW.
The Opal and Turquoise pools are above it with the Excelsior pool steaming to the right.
Thank you for taking a look!
