The Tamarisk Rock

Rocky beach, Antignano, Livorno“Scoglio della tamerice” (Tamarisk Rock) is a quiet and beautiful place on the Antignano coastline, which alternates small pebble beaches to rocky outcrops. The namesake lone tamarisk is still there on the top, telling us that no great toponymic effort was needed for this rock.Rocky beach, Antignano, LivornoEnlarging this second photo you can easily spot, in the middle of the horizon line, the “Fanale dei Pisani”, marking the port of Livorno. On the same level, between two lamp posts on the right, is the pinkish top of our “grattacielo”, that appeared in yesterday's post.

What a lovely inlet. Although that rock doesn't look to comfy for sitting down! :-)

Un'insenatura perfetta. D'estate ci sono i bagnanti? Immagino di si!

My goodness that's a pretty place. You could just walk out there, point your camera, close your eyes, go click and you'd have a postcard photograph!

Very nicely done!

Wow what a perfect place to sit and unwind. It looks peaceful but maybe not with the road running alongside.

@ rob: questo, d'estate, è uno dei posti più gettonati dai bagnanti, non molto lontano dal centro ed una delle zone con l'acqua più limpida...

@ all: welcome you all!
