A colorful door in Fargegaten in Stavanger.
When you arrive in Stavanger, the beautiful and important Norwegian city, you cannot miss a walk in the center and a visit to the street called Fargegaten Øvre Holmegate.
They are all wooden houses enclosed between the sea and the small hill just behind and have the characteristic of being very colorful.
The roofs, the facades, the bars, the restaurants and (as I will show you with this post) many doors are also colored or painted.

Where via Palestro meets the Caruggio in Sestri Levante.
Last winter I managed to take some photos in a rather deserted Sestri and I took the opportunity to take many shots in the historic center.
This is the point where via Palestro, the small street that leads to the Bay of Silence, meets via XXV Aprile, the Sestrese caruggio.

Alcuni bei fiori fotografati in un vivaio.
Qualche settimana fa, anzi direi un paio di mesi, sono stato con mia moglie a visitare un grande vivaio di fiori e piante della mia zona.
Non mi sono potuto esimere dallo scattare decine di foto e piano piano le inserirò.
Di alcuni fiori sono riuscito a sapere il nome, di altri proprio no.
Qui ne pubblico un po’!

Ti piacciono i fiori e magari sai indicarmi i nomi di quelli nelle foto? Scrivimelo lasciando un commento here.

The architectural layout remained unchanged until the late sixteenth century; from that time onwards new noble palaces were built within the walls in the contemporary Renaissance style. The choice of the new architectural style was especially evident in the main streets Ravaschieri and Stefano Rivarola where palaces very similar to other buildings in Genoa were erected or revised. From 1648, or perhaps from 1646, it received the title of City from the Republic of Genoa.
