Description
This is part of Riviera (riverside)Paleocapa along the river Bacchiglione. During the Middle Ages it represented the southern boundary of Padova.From this point, the river, usually unruly and wild, was divided into two more civilized branches by the Venetians after the conquest of the town. The low tide shows the poles used to keep the banks firm and prevent them from collapsing. Here a number of ducks, geeze and seagulls, together with rats, mice and nutrias live in an ecological island. Even if the river, as I have already said, is polluted it looks that pollution makes them stronger.
Along the riverside road there are the houses with the typical colors of my region, as well as the porches that once hosted shops and artisan workshops.The latter have disappeared from the economic fabric of the town, but in some parts of the town these mom-and-pop shops are still in relative good health.
Thank you for your kind comments.

very nice shot of a simple river bank and the living quarters nearby. It's a very sweet view, with the houses built right into each other, the road right next to them, and the wall that presumably was built to protect them from the river. And then that line of trees, added to by the poles. (Lots of lines emanating out from the river.) And it's always amazing to see ducks in such polluted waters! But I guess they don't know the difference...well they must know, but maybe they think there are 'many kinds of water'. From your gallery, you live in a very beautiful part of the world. And as for those small artisan shops, I sure hope they're surviving better in Europe than they are in America: The small & caring business here has been swept up by corporations like shorelines are by high tide. Corporations in the US are the fiefdoms & monarchies of old Europe: They take over everything. They're one of the "3 estates"--I just don't know if they're #1 or 2. Anyway, a lovely shot for us, Sandra.
