Description

Nella foto di oggi la strada ( Via della Bonifica ) che porta al fosso Barra dove sono piazzate le pompe di livellazione delle acque e prosegue poi fino alla strada statale Aurelia vicino a Migliarino Pisano. Foto scattata con Tokina 12-24 per dare la massima profondità alla scena esaltata da un cielo piuttosto minaccioso, nonostante il sole fosse presente. In the picture of today the road (Via della Bonifica) leading to the bar ditch where the pumps are placed in water levels, and continues until the Aurelia highway near Migliarino Pisano. Photos taken with Tokina 12-24 to give the maximum depth to the scene enhanced by a rather threatening sky, although the sun was present. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Via Aurelia is an ancient consular road started halfway through the third century BC Consul Gaius Aurelius Cotta to connect Rome to Cerveteri, then extended to link the new military colonies of Cosa and its Pyrgi founded during the third century BC Tyrrhenian coast, following the final submission of Etruria. The Aurelia (which in the numbering of roads adopted by the numbering of ANAS took Highway 1 or Via Aurelia SS1) connects Rome to France today along the Tyrrhenian Sea and Ligurian Sea. The Roman road [edit] This route, later called the Via Aurelia Vetus (Old Aurelia today) started from Porta San Pancrazio. Initially brought to Volaterrana Vada (Vada), Aurelia was then extended to the fortress of Pisa. Here, the consular road along the Tyrrhenian coast is interrupted because of two fundamental components that prevented the prosecution: on the one hand, the presence of the large wetland area that Fossae Papirianae (see Peutingeriana: Pars IV - Segmentum IV) in ' Current Versilia coast (from the Migliarino Pisano to Luni, Sarzana not far from today) on the other, the awkward and belligerent presence of Apuan, also called Mountain or Ligurian Sengauni. This artery was stopped in Pisa for centuries, while the road towards the western Ligurian and to Marseille (Massilia old) was taken by the Emperor Augustus with the Via Julia Augusta.

Your POV beautifully draws the eye to the horizon, fabulous sky love the way the shapes and curves of the sky and trees break up the simlicity of the strait flat lines of the road and craps, beautifully composed, captured and seen, good eye!
