Silent Sunday

#Photography #Photo #Picture #Pic #SilentSunday #NaturePhotography #Italy #Spring #Peace

A tranquil rural landscape at sunset, with the golden light of the fading sun casting a warm glow over a field. A serene pond in the foreground reflects a solitary tree with budding leaves, alongside other flora gently swaying in the breeze. Fluffy clouds scatter across the sky, hinting at the end of a clear day. This peaceful scene is captured in a photo that exudes the quiet stillness of a 'Silent Sunday'.

The @ScottishGreens councillor Dan Hutchison has called for the city to stop flying the Union Jack on numerous days & has suggested new flag-flying days which would commemorate events more in line with #Glasgow’s progressive values.

This includes Trans Remembrance Day, Independence days of #Cuba, #Pakistan & #Ukraine, Reunification of #Germany, #MayDay, Liberation day of #Italy, #France’s Bastille day & Day of solidarity with #Palestine.

I love the way that at certain times of the year the early morning sun illuminates the row of trees just below our garden

“#Risotto rice - such as arborio and carnaroli - are grown in the Po valley, a floodplain in the north of #Italy where the challenge used to be to keep the water away.

In 2022, the worst drought in 200 yrs struck the river that feeds the canals that irrigate the paddy fields.

Italy lost 26,000 hec of rice fields, production dropped more than 30%.”
