Foto scattata al mattino presto nella zona tra Massaciuccoli e Migliarino Pisano, lungo il fosso che attraversa la zona . Photo taken early morning in the area between Massaciuccoli and Migliarino Pisano, along the ditch that crosses the area. Roman antiquities Massaciuccoli Massaciuccoli has always gone for the famous ancient walls which emerged among his olive trees and the marble and ceramic fragments that could be found along roads and trails of the hill. In the eighteenth century was known by Italian and foreign travelers who, in addition to describing, drawing even the most distinguished of his remains, identified as thermal building after excavation in 1752 by the Count wanted Minutoli, owners of the site. Then fortune Massaciuccoli Roman suffered intermittently. Experienced moments of fame in the Duke of Bourbon (1817-47) and the early twentieth century. But digging around the "spa" and consolidation works were carried out only after 1920. These remains accurate report of prof. Antonio Minto, which was followed in 1934 the publication of Professor.

A temple, probably dedicated to Hercules, towering over the hill where now stands the church. Residential villas surfaced among the sacred groves around the building. Towards the lake, up the road from Stone Marshes, emblazoned with the bath complex exedra of avenues, terraces, green spaces and elegant shade. Where the hill ends and the country becomes flat lies the villa of Venuleii, Roman patricians of Pisa that plays in the second century. the office of the consuls. The perimeter walls and floors of this house are visible only in part, the rest is still buried.

Questo mi ha fatto pensare a due immagini del tutto indipendente. Ma prima voglio dire questo è bello. Il DOF e POV sono perfetti! Io amo l'illuminazione e il senso del movimento imminente. Vi è grande dettaglio, il colore e la personalità in questa immagine. Quando ho visto questo, ho pensato a un gargyole, guardando giù da un muro della chiesa. In un secondo sguardo, mi ricorda il pazzo, alla fine del "Dottor Stranamore", che sta guidando la bomba alla sua destinazione finale. Forse è ora sono andato a letto .. This made me think of two entirely unrelated images. But first I want to say this is beautiful. The dof and POV are perfect! I love the lighting and sense of imminent motion. There is great detail, color and personality in this image. When I first saw this, I thought of a gargyole, staring down from a church wall. On a second look, it reminds me of the crazy guy at the end of "Dr Strangelove", who is riding the bomb to its final destination. Maybe it's time I went to bed. :o)
