Bridges to go forward ! (weekly photo and travel theme challenge)

In life happen to cross many bridges, not only those built … 

So what better than immaginary and real means to go forward ? 

Ailsa  was inspired by crossing the Golden Gate Bridge, one of the bridges that I crave to cross sooner or later, for a new challenge in “Wheresmybackpack”.

Well, waiting to cross Golden Gate me too, here some bridge that I met under my feet and my tyres.

In Italy we have the city with probably the largest number of bridges and also the most  historical bridges : Venice !

The most famous is certainly the “Ponte dei Sospiri” (Bridge of Sighs), but Venice is full of little bridges that smell of its glorious history .

Another particular bridge in Italy is in Comacchio…

A characteristic rope bridge I’ve crossed waving is Carrick a Rede in Northern Ireland

Last but not least, two modern bridges: the Poseidon Bridge of Patrai in Greece and the bridge that introduce us at Dubrovnik

Cee’s Photo Fun Challenge: the colors of Red, White or Red and White togheter

Red and White for me means first of all wine ! 😀

My region, Piemonte – Italy, is earth of wonderful red wine and also of some great white…

But now, for Cee’s challenge, I choice a very nice house white and red.

This Guesthouse is where I spent an incredible, wonderful adventure holiday in the Finnish Lapland.

Sunday Post Challenge : Unforgettable

After a few weeks where I had to overlook beloved Jake, here’s my response to his latest challenge.

As you know, I love travelling and I happily spent several memorable moments, but one that certainly I will remain engraved forever and I remember like it was yesterday: total solar eclipse of 1999, which I saw in Germany.
The journey with my bike, “tracking” the Sun breaks through the clouds, driving into country little way and finally, when all appeared lost because the finish of the road, the sky opened up and we saw this show so fascinating.
I remember the silence of nature and distant screams of excitement from the neighboring country …
Here two shots taken with my camera and scanned with not high quality, but certainly… unforgettable !
