Hope you don't mind Jen.

Another of your manipulations M, good to see you not lost your creative touch

Where was this taken, I recognise that chimney but not the water?

As this is Jen's picture.......I cannot tell you the location as I do not know it.

Today's offerings more photos featuring the lake at Gargnano - still haven't left it behind mentally.
1 Beach in Gargnano
2 Villa Feltrinelli from the beach
3 I wonder how many of the bathers know Mussolini lived here from 1943-45?
4 A light shower and this was the result
5 My pot of gold lies here
6 Swimming off the jetty in Villa
7 View from the terrace of Hotel du Lac at tea-time
8 Gargnano in the morning from the terrace of San Tommaso
9 A quiet spot to sit and reflect - in the Piazza of Villa
10 Breakfast on the terrace of Hotel Gardenia - so romantic!

No prob......I was thinking platts lodge,perhaps Jen could enlighten me?

[Margaret Pilkington]

it could be Platts lodge...at the back of what used to be Giron Freres....the velvet makers.
In fact the more I think about it...the more likely it seems.
Especially as one of the other pics shows the stanchions that used to support the railway line......now being used as a decorative feature.

Sunshine, blue sky - Ideal for perfectly serviceable Airyplanes to be buzzing about - So why, oh why, jump out? - Meanwhile back on Terra Firma, household appliances for the modern busy Mum who happens to live on a farm - Size, really is important ...... for comparison - A Borgward/Büssing one of only 165 produced - Aah, Fallow Deer grazing.

Once again you forgot to put the cross hairs on #7 ... for some odd reason, #4 reminds me of Saskatchewan ... Pioneer country ... love that Province

These are from your "Blue" period, eh. When one eyeballs the thumbnails, "blue" stands out ... or it does for me. Great pics, hon.

Today in Pictures, just a short walk around the viaduct.

1. A view from Martholme Lane.
2. Heading for the railway line greenway.
3. I know......that's what I thought.....Puff Balls.
4. The line in dappled shade.
5. A rare find, a long discarded sleeper.
6. A view from the viaduct.
7. People come up with reasons not to open this gate, most are selfish reasons for stopping the masses taking a stroll.
8. One day perhaps I could walk over there.
9. Coming down is not as exhausting as the reverse.
10. And here we are going up Martholme Lane.
