Excellent capture with that reflection.
This is a beauty, VP.
A cornerstone, stronger than time.
Please have a good Thursday.

Love this image today. History?
Beautiful reflection!
This is a strong image of an old structure. Nice reflection.
Lovely shot VP, very nice reflection. And yes you better keep your shoes polished! ;)
This post brings to mind the proverb "Still waters run deep," meaning that a person who says very little often has a very thoughtful, interesting, and complicated personality.
Fantastic! Such a stunning bastion.
I am trying to imagine a knight somewhere. He would have to enjoy the beautiful day.
MAgnificent picture! :)

Impressive structure and great reflection!
Nice spot and a good picture, VP!
Very impressive! MB
Ciao VP...This is history in a photograph...and the reflection is excellent. How old is this struture? Is all of the masonry original or do I see possible repairs...hits that it took from cannon or mortar? And the huge crack from top to bottom...possibly/probably from settling in the water. I'm sure Livorno was defended magnificently from this fort!
Saluti!
A grand, reflective photo! I wonder if it's sinking at all....
@ Theanne - I have already posted many times about the fortress and to avoid boring repetitions I usually put in the text some links to the older posts.
In this case click on 'Capitana' and 'Fortezza Vecchia' and you will get a dozen posts with the history of the fortress.
The several hundred years old bastion succumbed only in the last war to some Allied bombs hitting German ammunitions stored inside.
I love the rustic warmth of this old stonework. Wonderful image.
Grazie VP...I apologize, I normally click on links, today for some reason I didn't!
Fantastic! Great shot, VP.
Un bellissimo pezzo di storia! Buon fine settimana, Arianna!
