Liquid and Natural Resources

In Italy we say “Prendere due piccioni con una fava” (kill two birds with one stone),

so here are my entries for two challenge: Travel Theme of Ailsa and the Sunday Post by Jake
Liquid like water of salt marshes, salt worked with windmills

Sicilia – Riserva dello Stagnone

Liquid like water gushing from the fountains of Rome … The Romans great aqueducts builders throughout Europe, to make the most of this immense resource,  that today all Nations should enjoy free …

Acqua o Fuoco ?

Special Photo Challenge: Inspiration (why I blog…)

Very special challenge this week from Daily Post of WordPress. They have asked  what inspires me to blog and show a photo during the activities that inspires me.

And this is:  ride (possibly with my bike…) and photograph.

I blog primarily for myself, to remember better travel and situations, because I like it and technology makes this simple for me.
Then to make desire others to visit the places where I’ve been, ride around wonderful roads, eat in good restaurants …
I’m not sure a great traveler, my journeys are ordinary and for everyone but I like to put my little experiences available to others.
I started writing about on community of travelers and bikers, certainly do not write well but friends always gratified me, saying that I make a good mix between writed and photos, giving a good idea of what I lived … and so I’m now here …
Here some shots take by friends that I think are right for this Challenge…

La Cupola di San Gaudenzio di Novara

Per il Sunday Post di Jake che questa settimana è sull’architettura, sono andato a rispolverare vecchi scatti della salita sulla Cupola di San Gaudenzio, simbolo di Novara, costruita da Alessandro Antonelli.

Essa è forse ancor oggi il più alto edificio al mondo interamente in mattoni.

For Jake Sunday Post that this week is about the architecture, I went to dust off old shots of the climb up to the  San Gaudenzio Dome, symbol of Novara, constructed by Alessandro Antonelli.
It is perhaps still the tallest building in the world made entirely of brick.
