... e un po’ di tenerezza

Pretty joy!
Sweet joy but two days old,
Sweet joy I call thee;
Thou dost smile.
I sing the while
Sweet joy befall thee.

primo autunno
| |
|
|
|
The morns are meeker than they were,
The nuts are getting brown;
The berry’s cheek is plumper,
The rose is out of town.
The maple wears a gayer scarf,
The field a scarlet gown.
Lest I should be old-fashioned,
I’ll put a trinket on.
Autumn, Emily Dickinson

Solo un tramonto d'estate ...a Scilla. In fondo , la Sicilia. Una cartolina alla quale sono affezionata ed un modo per salutare l'estate.

Tórshavn fence
a perpetual possibility
| |
|
|
|
Time present and time past
Are both perhaps present in time future
And time future contained in time past.
...
What might have been is an abstraction
Remaining a perpetual possibility
Only in a world of speculation.
T.S.Eliot, Four Quartets
Sheep Islands
| |
|
|
|
The reason for posting this image: the name Føroyar (Faroe Islands) is derived from old Norse and means Sheep Islands, a name given by the Viking age settlers.
Maybe it will be the last of this serie, so a homage to sheep was due! :-)

Saksun (14 inhabitants) is located at the end of what was once a narrow fjord with high mountains on both sides.In the fjord, at the foot of the village, there is now a lagoon.At low tide, it is possible to walk along the sandy shore of the lagoon around the headland.
Thank you very much for your visits and lovely comments.

Named after the Norse god Thor , Tórshavn is one of the world’s smallest capitals, although over a third of the Faroese live there.The Norse established their parliament on the Tinganes peninsula in AD 850.Tórshavn thus became the capital of the Faroe Islands and has remained so ever since.
The weather was amazingly good when we were there.

Streymoy,Tjørnuvík: Giant and Witch
| |
|
|
|
Accordind to the legend the two distant sea stacks Risin & Kellingin (Giant and Witch) are fossils of an old woman and giant who tried to drag the Faroe Islands back to Iceland. The rising sun suprised them and they were turned into stone.
