This old horse drawn timber tram above Triplet Falls, still stands on the site of / Knotts No 1 Mill / The area surrounding Triplet Falls was once / home to Knotts No 1 sawmill. This mill was one / of the largest of the many timber mills that began / operation after the Colac-Beech Forest-Crowes / railway opened up the rugged and remote west / Otways in 1902. / The mill started in 1908 and was operated from / 1909, by a Melbourne timber merchant, G.W. / Knott. He sold it to the War Service Homes / Commission in 1920. / The mill processed over 3,600 tons of Mountain / Ash per year producing timber for the homes of / servicemen returning from World War One. / Now that the forest has reclaimed the site it is / hard to imagine the industry that was sustained / here for more than 20 years.

Visit the church and do not miss the garden that offers breath-taking views of the sea from above – also because of its hidden terraces and panoramic benches, perfect for romantics. Legend has it that this picturesque little town was originally founded by Hercules, therefore the port is called a Hercules Port. The name Tropea dates back to the V Century after Christ and suffered for several hundred years under the constant attacks of the Saracens. / From the Norman era and on, the independent town of Tropea became the popular nest of noble families who constructed their luscious palaces on the spectacular cliff above the sea. The narrow streets of Tropea, the ancient noble palaces and the whiteness of the beaches below in contrast with the deep blu sea are an extraordinary experience for the senses. The town has almost completely preserved its 16th century planning. / Admire the “Porta Nuova”, the opening above the sea of piazza Galluppi with the savage cliff precipitating into the white beach stretching below.At a short distance there is another cliff, on which is erected the sanctuary of Santa Maria dell’Isola.

The historical building Baracca Faggioni bears the name of the age-old family of “masters of the axe” it belonged to. It is due to be opened to show the ancient skill of building wooden boats and to commemorate traditional seafaring activities. / On the point closing in the bay in the direction of the next village of Fezzano, the vast air force base has kept a part of “Luigi Conti” airport that was built in 1926 as a seaplane base, corresponding to the Muggiano seaplane base on the other side of the Gulf. The Gulf of La Spezia was one of the most active seaplane bases in Italy in the 20’s and 30’s of the last century and was the scene of many actions. Italo Balbo’s study is still intact in the Cadimare structure; amongst others he planned and commanded the first Atlantic crossing in 1931. Two years afterwards when Balbo himself led twenty-five seaplanes as far as Chicago and New York, Marinetti the futurist poet who was very fond of La Spezia invented the “Golfo della Spezia” painting award, at the same time launching a challenge to all poets inviting them to celebrate this place and he himself wrote Aeropoem to the Gulf of La Spezia where the main character leaves with his seaplane exactly from Cadimare airport.

The Law Of Attraction – Love Mandala I painted a mandala months ago… it has hung in my room ever since, not photographed, unfinished. There was something missing and I didn’t know what. I had painted it with the law of attraction in mind – I was missing love in my life and I wanted to bring it back in and I had thought that this mandala, with all its personal symbology and colour, would assist in allowing that flow of love, in the form of a loving relationship with a man, to come back into my life. The mandala symbology represents the elements of love in relationships that are essential to me – Kookaburras for Laughter and Joy / Kangaroo for Family and Abundance / Sea Eagle for Great Spirit / Cockatoo representing Self Esteem and Friendship (and falling in my sign, Libra) / Wolf as Teacher / Raven for Magick And thus, after painting it, I sat back to wait for LOVE to arrive in my life, LOL! I should’ve known better! When you ask the Universe for something, it will come to you, but if you have not asked clearly and specifically, what you get is something completely unexpected – and thus it was with this request. Love arrived in my life in the form of lessons. The first lesson was to teach me that despite the fact that there are horrible people out there in the real world who will use you up, hurt you, spit you out and discard you without thought for your emotions or feelings, they are NOT YOU. They cannot take away your power or your capacity to love – only you can do that. Only you have the power to love. Only you have the power to change the way you think and feel and believe. Only you. I learned not to shut down my heart ever again, for anyone. It’s my heart and my love and I will let it pour forth into the world with joy and abundance… The second lesson was much harder. I was given an opportunity to learn about myself through the behaviour of another. In the losing of myself in another’s life, I became aware of the pain in my heart that my behaviour was causing. I realised that in order for me to be happy, I had to satisfy my needs first. Not in a selfish way, but in a way that meant that for the first time in my life, I came first. My needs came first. This is a difficult lesson for me and one which will take time absorbing and actualizing. When you subjugate your basic needs to another, you give away your power. By saying you will put up with things that hurt or upset you, you give away your power. By ignoring the unhappiness and stress in your mind, you give away your power. My needs were simple. Like all of us, I just wanted to be happy and to be loved, appreciated and respected. I deserve to be treated with love, respect and appreciation because that is the way I treat others. And in this lesson, I realised that I was not being treated this way. I then had to choose to stay with that lesson, or learn it and move on. I chose to move on. I chose to reclaim my power. The third lesson was that all the money in the world CANNOT buy happiness – it comes from within… I realised that I am the only person who can make me happy. I am responsible for my own happiness, my own respect, my own appreciation. I became aware that I am the only person in my life I truly have to please and that if I meet my needs – If I learn to LOVE and APPRECIATE and RESPECT MYSELF then all else will follow. And thus I took the mandala off the wall and in the inner circles I wrote all the things that were necessary for me to have wonderful relationships. All the things that were essential in my life for me to be happy. All the morals and ethics that were important to me on my very first level of need. Friendship, Joy, Happiness, Respect, Self Respect, Monogamy, Abundance, Faith, Trust, Belief, Support, Love, Sharing, Caring, Compassion, Family, Communication, Magic, Trust, Partnership, Fidelity, Commitment and many more… And the mandala was complete. / It was for me all along. / It was the Law Of Attraction – In order for me to be loved, I first have to love myself.

Properties inscribed on the World Monuments Fund Watch Properties inscribed on the U.NE.S.C.O World Heritage List – Italy Properties inscribed on the Ministry of Heritage and Cultural Activities, Superintendence for the Architectural, the Landscape, the Historical Heritage. Artistic and Ethno-Anthropological of Italy / —-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—— Nikon D300 Nikon 12/24 / —-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—— Pontremoli Pontremoli (Pontrémal in the local dialect) is a small city, comune and bishop’s see in the province of Massa-Carrara, Tuscany, Italy. Literally translated, “Pontremoli” derives from “Trembling Bridge” (Italian ponte – “bridge” and tremare – “to tremble”), with the commune having been named after a prominent bridge across the Magra. Pontremoli is believed to have been first settled around a thousand years before Christ. It was known in Roman times as Apua. The commune later became an independent municipality in 1226 thanks to Federico II who charters the free municipality, partly because of its mountainous situation. This situation in the valley of the Magra also made Pontremoli a target for numerous conquests from rival Italian and foreign lords. Pontremoli was controlled by various aristocratic families, including the Malaspina (in 1319) and the Antelminelli (in 1322). The conflict between the rival Guelfi and Ghibellini factions in the early fourteenth century resulted in the construction of the Great Bell Tower (Il Campanone) to separate the rival camps. During these Medieval times Pontremoli was often visited by pilgrims travelling from Canterbury to Rome. In 1331 Pontremoli was sold by John I of Bohemia to Mastino II della Scala (Lord of Verona). Pontremoli was later taken over by the Visconti of Milan in 1339. In 1404 the ownership of Pontremoli once again changed hands as it was seized by the Fieschi family of Genoa. However, by 1433 Pontremoli was again under the control of the Milanese. In 1495 Pontremoli was sacked by the troops of Charles VIII of France, during this time Pontremoli was a territory owned by the House of Sforza, who were the new Dukes of Milan. Pontremoli was a French territory from 1508 until 1522 as several northern Italian areas were conquered. In 1526, Pontremoli was captured by Charles V of the Holy Roman Empire. Pontremoli was controlled by Spain until 1647, when it was bought by the Republic of Genoa. Three years later, Pontremoli was made part of the Grand Duchy of Tuscany. It stayed as such (with the exception of a period of French control from 1805 to 1814) until Italian unification in the nineteenth century. With the Leopoldine reforms, Pontremoli became an autonomous community (whilst still part of the Grand Duchy of Tuscany) in 1777.[2] In 1778, it officially became a City. The area was heavily damaged by an earthquake in 1834. In November 1847 Pontremoli was (along with Fivizzano) occupied by the Duke of Modena, due to a dispute over trade routes. Main sights and culture A large number of churches are situated in Pontremoli and these provide the main cultural sights of the city. One of these is the Church of San Nicolò which houses a wooden cross, dating back several centuries. Also present is the Chiesa Cattedrale S. Maria Assunta (Il Duomo) which was built in the 17th century and dedicated to Saint Geminianus – the cathedral holds many valuable sculptures and paintings. The dome of this cathedral, along with Il Campanone (the bell tower), dominates the city skyline. The church of the SS. Annunziata with its Augustinian monastery and painted mural is another notable feature within the area. There are also several buildings concerned with the past noble families of Pontremoli. The major site is the Castello del Piagnaro, one of the largest castles of Lunigiana. Several palaces, such as those of the houses of Malaspina and Dosi, are located within the commune. More modern attractions of Pontremoli include the annual Premio Bancarella book festival, Medievalis (during August) which is a recollation about the arrive of Federico II in Pontremoli in 1226 so Pontremoli life again like in the XIII Century, as well as Il Bar Moderno (a local café), which was in 1970 the winner of a “gold medal” in a Milanese “Ice Cream and Coffee” competition. There is also the “Museo delle Statue Stele” (situated within the castle) which contains a number of stone structures found in the surrounding land, many are of a historic nature and reflect the area’s cultural past. There are also several mineral springs in the surrounding mountains and a local market takes place on Wednesdays and Saturdays.
