L’airone che spesso si trova a Sestri Levante

L'airone che spesso si trova a Sestri Levante

L’airone che spesso si trova a Sestri Levante.
Da qualche anno vedo spesso, in giro per Sestri (o nei pressi del Gromolo o nel Petronio) un airone.
A dire la verità non saprei nemmeno dire se è sempre lo stesso.
Questa volta avevo il tele e sono riuscito a fotografarlo abbastanza bene mentre si crogiolava al sole nei pressi del ponte sul Gromolo che va a Santo Stefano, nei pressi di villa Sertorio.

L’airone cenerino (Ardea cinerea Linnaeus, 1758) è un uccello appartenente alla famiglia Ardeidae. Originario delle regioni temperate del Vecchio Mondo, oltre che dell’Africa, è la specie di airone che si spinge più a nord, tanto che in estate è facile incontrarlo lungo le coste norvegesi, ben oltre il circolo polare artico.

A glimpse of the Gromolo alley in Sestri Levante

Uno scorcio di vico Gromolo a Sestri Levante

A glimpse of Vico Gromolo in Sestri Levante.
One of the modern alleys that I like to walk along when I park my car in the large parking lot of Largo Giovanni Masi (parking lot created on the roof of the Gromolo stream) to go down to Via Nazionale.
The houses on the right are quite modern (I would say around fifteen years old) but they still have colors that I like a lot.

Do you know this alley and remember any stories about it?

The splendid caves of Borgio Verezzi in Liguria

Le grotte di Borgio Verezzi

The splendid caves of Borgio Verezzi in Liguria.
When, last summer, I was with my friends on a trip to Borgio Verezzi and the idea of ​​visiting the famous caves came to mind, we never imagined that they were so spectacular.

Have you ever been to visit them? What are your favorite caves?

The tourist route of the caves is about 800 m. They present very varied environments with limestone forms that arouse curiosity, including, for example, some "crooked" stalactites that seem to go against gravity, even if, in reality, it is the cave that has moved over the millennia.

The ruins of a portal along the Gromolo stream

Ruderi di un portale lungo il Gromolo

The ruins of a portal along the Gromolo stream.
For all those who are used to walking or running along the Gromolo stream this ruin will be familiar.
Every time I pass by, to tell the truth I pass by once a year, it intrigues me and I would like to know more.
I zoomed in on the marble tondo with a Saint that still stands above the beam.

Do you know anything more about it?

The colonnade for Villa Arpe for Santa Vittoria

Colonnato per Villa Arpe per Santa Vittoria

The colonnade for Villa Arpe for Santa Vittoria.
I have always been fascinated by this little path that leads from the road along the Gromolo stream to those little houses that I believe are called Villa Arpe.
I wonder how beautiful it was 50 years ago, everything well kept.
In the second photo you can see the houses better and what seems to be a small chapel or perhaps a burial building of some local family.

Do you know or do you know anything more about this villa?

Quasi tramonto sul Gromolo

Quasi tramonto sul Gromolo

Quasi tramonto sul Gromolo.
Qualche sera fa ero in passeggiata all’altezza del Gromolo e ho scattato questa bella foto in hdr di un quasi tramonto. Non dico proprio tramonto perché sì la foto è venuta scura (effetto non voluto) ma in realtà non era così buio.
Comunque sia mi piace veramente tanto e a voi?

Some river algae on the Gromolo stream

Alghe di fiume

Some river algae on the Gromolo stream.
I really like this image of some algae but at the same time it worries me a bit. The river is the Gromolo and this strange formation was in a waterfall towards Santa Vittoria di Libiola.
Will it all be natural? I don't know…

Alghe di fiume

Algae (from the Latin Algae) belong to a grouping, not belonging to a systematic taxon, represented by organisms of animal structure, autotrophic, unicellular or multicellular, which produce chemical energy by photosynthesis, generating oxygen and which do not present a differentiation into true tissues. Over time, and in the evolution of the scientific systematization of living beings, within this grouping different systematic groups have come to be found with congruent characteristics such as a very simple structure and not differentiated into tissues and very often the photosynthetic capacity. The only green algae or chlorophytes, together with the embryophytes, or terrestrial plants, constitute the clade of green plants, or viridiplantae.
