Walking among the houses and canals of Burano

Passeggiando tra le case ed i canali del magico borgo di Burano

Strolling through the houses and canals of the magical village of Burano.
Dear travelers and art lovers, today I will take you on a journey through one of the most enchanting places in Italy: the picturesque village of Burano and its charming canals. Whether you are passionate about photography, culture or simply looking for a romantic getaway, Burano is the ideal place for you.
The most iconic feature of Burano is undoubtedly its brightly colored houses. Each building looks like a small work of art with its vibrant tones of blue, green, red and yellow. Legend has it that fishermen painted the houses so they could recognize them from afar during their long absences at sea. Now, these hand-painted houses create a unique and lively atmosphere that makes Burano a dream for photographers and architecture lovers.
But Burano is not only famous for the colors of its houses; it is also famous for its enchanting canals. As you stroll through the small streets (calli) of the island, you will be fascinated by the winding canals that cross the village.

Burano is a unique place, where time seems to have stopped, and artistic beauty blends with everyday life. If you are planning a trip to Italy, make sure to include Burano in your list of must-see destinations. You won't regret it!

Un leudo ed un veliero nel Mare Ligure

Un leudo ed un veliero nel Mare Ligure

Un leudo ed un veliero nel Mare Ligure.
Qualche mese fa, passeggiando lungo la salita dei Cappuccini nella baia del Silenzio di Sestri Levante, ho fotografato questo belduo di barche molto diverse tra loro.
In primo piano, al riparo nella insenatura della baia, un piccolo leudo mentre in lontananza un grande veliero solca il Mar Ligure.
Mi era piaciuto il contrasto.

A proposito di leudo vi lascio l’ultile link al sito della Associazione che ne tramanda la tradizione e che cura uno degli ultimi sopravvissuti, Il nuovo aiuto di Dio, a Sestri Levante: leudo.it.

Il leudo si presenta come una piccola nave di circa quindici metri di lunghezza con una capacità di carico di una trentina di tonnellate. La forma affusolata dello scafo gli permetteva, ad una epoca con porti ancora scarsi, di esser alato sulla spiaggia come di affrontare il mare aperto.

And here are some videos I made:

Videos recorded with Gopro Hero 10 Black.

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.

Le molte barche nel porticciolo di Camogli.
Una passeggiata nel borgo di Camogli anche in inverno (qui era lo scorso 7 gennaio) e’ sempre un piacere.
E, anche se la temperatura e’ fresca, basta scegliere una giornata di bel tempo e si può godere di uno spettacolo unico: da un lato il mare e dall’altro il bel porticciolo con le tante barchette, incorniciato dalle famose case colorate del borgo.

La Lanterna di Genova al tramonto in controluce

La Lanterna di Genova al tramonto in controluce

La Lanterna di Genova al tramonto in controluce.
La Lanterna domina gli sguardi e le attenzioni di tutti i genovesi ed i visitatori.
Ovviamente attira anche tutti gli obiettivi delle macchine fotografiche ed il mio non poteva mancare.
Se non ricordo male (purtroppo scatto sempre molte foto che poi non ho tempo di inserire a breve tempo dallo scatto e succede che non ne ricordi bene i dettagli successivamente) l’avevo scattata da uno dei belvedere di Corso Carbonara o Castelletto.

There is also a nice official website: lanternadigenova.it.

The Lanterna of Genoa (or simply “Lanterna”, in Genoese a Lanterna de Zena or a Lanterna) is the port lighthouse of the capital of Liguria, the city once defined as the Superb or Dominant of the seas.
Per secoli strumento indispensabile alla navigazione notturna delle navi in entrata e uscita dal porto, la Lanterna è anche il monumento simbolo cittadino, quasi un totem alla genovesità, e come tale fa parte della storia della città.

La insenatura di Lăng Cô tra Da Nang e Hue in Vietnam

La insenatura di Lăng Cô tra Da Nang e Hue in Vietnam.
Lungo la strada che da Da Nang va alla città di Hue si passa prima da una montagna abbastanza alta e dalla natura quasi incontaminata per poi transitare vicino alla insenatura naturale di Lăng Cô una baia salmastra nella quale si allevano e pescano moltissimi ottimi crostacei.
Purtroppo, come in diverse parti del Vietnam, se da una parte si trovano moderni ed enormi ristoranti poco lontano il territorio è lasciato andare e si incontrano cumuli di spazzatura e oggetti utilizzati per la pesca abbandonati.
Sicuramente, se si vorrà aumentare la qualità del turismo, si dovrà sicuramente combattere questa incuria!
