The wooden bridge of Flam in Norway

Il ponte in legno di Flam in Norvegia

The Flam Wooden Bridge in Norway.
Nestled in the majestic mountains of Norway, the picturesque village of Flam is famous not only for its breathtaking scenery but also for its charming wooden bridge. This bridge, which spans the Flam River, has become a local icon, a symbol of the connection between man and nature.
The Flam Wooden Bridge, with its elegant and rustic architecture, blends in perfectly with its surroundings. Its solid wooden beams rise towards the sky, while the interwoven railings create an artistic effect that captures the attention of anyone who passes over it. The choice of wood as the main material is not only aesthetically pleasing, but also a tribute to the Norwegian building tradition, which has made wise use of natural resources for centuries.
In addition to its visual beauty, the Flam Bridge plays a fundamental role in the life of the local community. By connecting the two banks of the river, it facilitates the daily transit of residents and visitors, creating a tangible connection between people and the surrounding nature. The feeling of walking on this bridge is a unique experience, allowing visitors to fully immerse themselves in the natural beauty of Norway.
During the warmer seasons, the bridge becomes a meeting point for locals and tourists, offering a scenic space to admire the surrounding landscape. During the winter, however, the bridge takes on a different charm, with snow gently settling on the wooden beams, creating an enchanting picture.
The construction of the Flam wooden bridge is also an example of ecological engineering, with the aim of minimising the impact on the surrounding environment. The architects have cleverly integrated the bridge into the natural topography, avoiding disturbances and preserving the beauty of the place.

In conclusion, the Flam wooden bridge is much more than a simple crossing structure. It is a symbol of connection, union and respect for the environment. Crossing this bridge, you can experience a moment of quiet and contemplation, surrounded by the pristine beauty of Norway and the warmth of a community that values ​​its history and its natural environment.

Here's where the bridge is located:

Flåm is a Norwegian village of about 500 inhabitants, at the end of the Aurlandsfjord, a branch of the Sognefjord. The village is located in the municipality of Aurland, in the county of Vestland, Norway. It is touched by the European route E16. The valley of Flåm was formed by the thick layer of ice that remained in this area for millions of years: the erosion of the glacier made the land sink, creating the deep and wide valleys that attract a large number of tourists every year.

Here's where the fjord is located:

The Geirangerfjord (Geirangerfjorden) is a fjord in the Norwegian region of Sunnmøre in the south of the county of Møre og Romsdal. It is a branch of the much larger Storfjorden and within it is the famous village of Geiranger. The fjord is one of the most visited natural sites in Norway and since 2005 it is included, together with the Nærøyfjord, in the List of World Heritage Sites drawn up by UNESCO.

Dream sea: the transparent waters of Framura
One of the places in my area (Eastern Liguria) that I like to go to in the summer to have a nice swim is Framura.
The tiny village near the Cinque Terre has a splendid promenade, overlooking the sea, along which you can reach a couple of truly enchanting beaches.
And if you are an adventure lover, here and there along the promenade, there are points where you can go down to the sea and dive into this truly crystalline water!

Alcune cascate ammirate nel Geirangerfjord

Alcune cascate ammirate navigando attraverso il Geirangerfjord

Alcune cascate ammirate navigando attraverso il Geirangerfjord.
Lo scorso anno ho navigato, un paio di mesi, effettuando le crociere nei fiordi norvegesi. Forse quello più famoso è quello di Geiranger e le sue cascate.
Il Geirangerfjord è un fiordo situato nella regione occidentale della Norvegia, famoso per la sua bellezza mozzafiato e il suo paesaggio naturale spettacolare. È stato incluso nell’elenco dei Patrimoni dell’Umanità dell’UNESCO nel 2005, riconoscendo la sua importanza ecologica e paesaggistica.

Ecco alcune caratteristiche distintive del Geirangerfjord:
1. Paesaggio Incredibile: Il Geirangerfjord è circondato da ripide montagne, pareti rocciose e picchi imponenti che si ergono verticalmente dalle acque del fiordo. Questo paesaggio crea uno spettacolo visivo straordinario, con cascate spettacolari, valli verdi e piccoli villaggi che punteggiano la costa.
2. Sette Sorelle e Il Velo della Sposa: Le Sette Sorelle e il Velo della Sposa sono alcune delle cascate più famose del Geirangerfjord. Le Sette Sorelle sono sette cascate separate che scendono dalle montagne e il Velo della Sposa è una cascata sottile che sembra un velo sospeso lungo una parete rocciosa.
3. Crociere Fjord: Una delle migliori maniere per esplorare il Geirangerfjord è attraverso crociere in barca che offrono una prospettiva unica delle sue spettacolari formazioni rocciose e cascate. Durante la crociera, i visitatori possono godere di viste panoramiche e scoprire la ricca flora e fauna della regione.
4. Dalsnibba: Il punto di vista di Dalsnibba offre una vista mozzafiato sul Geirangerfjord e sulle montagne circostanti. Situato a un’altitudine di circa 1.500 metri, questo punto panoramico permette ai visitatori di ammirare l’intera bellezza del fiordo.
5. Attività all’aperto: La regione intorno al Geirangerfjord offre numerose opportunità per attività all’aperto, come escursioni, passeggiate in montagna e kayak. Gli amanti della natura possono esplorare i sentieri che conducono a viste panoramiche spettacolari e vivere un’esperienza immersiva nella natura norvegese.
6. Patrimonio Mondiale UNESCO: Nel 2005, il Geirangerfjord è stato inserito nell’elenco dei Patrimoni dell’Umanità dell’UNESCO, riconoscendo la sua importanza ecologica e il suo valore unico come uno dei fiordi più spettacolari del mondo.

In breve, il Geirangerfjord è un tesoro norvegese, una gemma di bellezza naturale che attira visitatori da tutto il mondo per la sua maestosità e la sua atmosfera magica.

The statue of the Fisherman from inside the sea in Sestri

La statua del Pescatore da dentro il mare a Sestri Levante

The statue of the Fisherman from inside the sea in Sestri Levante.
Last summer I had fun taking several photos of the Baia del Silensio, the famous natural inlet of my town, Sestri Levante, from inside the sea with the latest gadget I bought for the Gopro (the dome).
The photos, out of a hundred or so, a couple came out decently, they are very particular and I like them very much.
In this one there is the statue of the Fisherman with the rocks at the water's edge in the foreground and the Ex Convento dell'Annunziata in the background.

You can see the result with your own eyes also because in May the water is very clean and emerald in color.

The beautiful village of Bogliasco seen from inside the sea water.
My wanderings with the dome and the Gopro continue around the edges of Eastern Liguria.
Unfortunately there are still too many drops of water but in any case among all the photos I took two are still decent enough to publish (I hope).
Here is the beautiful village of the Golfo Paradiso seen from the sea. I promise to return when I have more practice.

It is the first municipality you come across when travelling from Genoa towards the Riviera di Levante, in a small inlet at the mouth of the river of the same name. Among the reliefs of the territory there is Mount Cordona (803 m) along the ancient path to the hamlet of Sessarego and Mount Rotondo (789 m). The beaches alternate with deep and characteristic cliffs. It is possible to practice surfing there. The hinterland is typical of eastern Liguria, partly with strips of olive groves, with the possibility of excursions.

Mare da sogno: le calette lungo la passeggiata di Framura

Mare da sogno: le calette lungo la passeggiata di Framura

Mare da sogno: le calette lungo la passeggiata di Framura.
L’estate scorsa, dopo molto tempo che me lo ripromettevo, sono finalmente stato al mare a Framura, il piccolissimo paese verso le Cinque Terre.
Si arriva alla stazione ferroviaria e poi, attraverso il sottopassaggio della stessa, si raggiunge la piccola passeggiata a mare che collega le varie calette e le incantevoli spiaggette.
Armatevi di maschere e pinne perche’ ne vale proprio la pena e, se non volete spendere qualche euro per un lettino ed ombrellone (e si’ incredibilmente ci sono anche quelli a disposizione) portatevi molta crema solare!

Una gita a Venezia di qualche mese fa mi ha portato, finalmente, a visitare la bella isola di Murano (e anche quella di Burano).
Molto bello passeggiare lungo i canali dell’isola a vedere le vetrine ricolme di “gioielli” di vetro così famosi nel mondo.

Le isole su cui sorge Murano sono poste lungo il canale dei Marani e sono divise da canali e rii e collegate tra loro da ponti; il loro territorio è totalmente urbanizzato, escludendo Sacca San Mattia, tuttora in fase di bonifica. Due isole sono di origine artificiale: Sacca Serenella e Sacca San Mattia. Il centro è noto in tutto il mondo per la plurisecolare attività artigianale che produce il vetro di Murano.

The Little Window in Via Piella, the Venice of Bologna.
One of the places usually mentioned among the secrets of the city (but which at this point has become one of the most visited and photographed tourist places) is this small window which, if opened, shows one of the last remaining canals in Bologna.
It really seems like you are in Venice.

The Bolognese water network was gradually developed between the 12th and 16th centuries, starting from the two fundamental works, namely the locks of San Ruffillo and Casalecchio, on the Savena torrent and the Reno river respectively, initially made necessary to increase the number of grain mills and to feed the moat of the second circle of city walls.
