Fontana della Vière

The fountain, in the village of Oulx (1127m, Val di Susa), is dated 1504. You can admire it in the upper part of the town, sheltered by a wide roof covering.

"Via gli animali dal circo!!!"

I took this photograph on the outskirts of Turin in November. The message says: "No animals in circuses!!!"
Do you agree?

Ecological Day 2/2/2009

Mountains inspire awe in any human person who has a soul. They remind us of our frailty, our unimportance, of the briefness of our span upon this earth. They touch the heavens, and sail serenely at an altitude beyond even the imaginings of a mere mortal.
Elizabeth Aston

Ecological Day is hosted by Elma Carneiro
