Torrechiara , Parma (Italy)


Here are some pictures from the last "sunday's trip" i've done with my wife. Was a very sunny and hot day  but we had a good time visiting this wonderful castle and eating in an "all-natural" restaurant in the middle of the nature. 
The Torrechiara's Castle is situated near the city of Parma , Emilia-Romagna province and is probably the best and well-preserved exaple of italian castle's architecture.  
In the photo on up we was roadside just near the wonderful yellow field you see at the bottom of the pic.

  

Before entering the proper castle area , passing  throu this ancient arc , you will found an old medieval suburb (today there are restaurants, bar  and souvenir shops in there). In the other pic you can see the little bridge leading to the entrance of the castle .
From the castle you can enjoy a wonderful view of the hills , the fields and the vineyards all around the place.

 

 The field you see in the first picture  from the window is the same of the first picture.  The third pic, after the brick wall , is the old kitchen of the castle.

New York - NY (USA)


Taken by the High-Line Park of NYC , this amazing murales refigures one of the most famous kisses of the History. A kiss gaven by a Sailor to a Nurse here in New York on 1945 just after the WWII end. The original pictur was taken in Times Square but i love this kind of modern revisits.


This is taken from the Highline too and maybe it can be interesting just for a foreign tourist like me...  A classic NY Fire Escape as you seen on several movies :D



On the Road - Farm and Electrical Lines


These two pictures are taken by car while driving during our  second "on the road" trip in the United States. Don't ask me where i was cause i took thousand of pics like these and its difficult to locate the exact point. Anyway , this should be somewhere from Washington D.C. heading to OBX (Outer Banks) in North Carolina.

Boston - Massachussets (USA)


By wandering around this beautiful city's history district one of the things i've noticed more is the perfect union of the old and the new . Look at the picture up here : there is a skycraper on the background and it fit perfectly with old houses , stores and pubs all around. the "New England" name imho is perfect to these places. I loved it.


You can see this perfect union of classic and modern times also near to the most ancients and famous monuments of the city. In this picture, for example,  you can admire the Old State House , (site of the infamous Boston Massacre) surrounded by tall modern buildings all around.
