Re: Today in pictures

A few photos from yesterday. A lovely yellow hibiscus flower at a friend's house. In the evening we went to a place called Isola Serafina where there's a massive Hydro-electric power station across the River Po. Several shots of this, a beach in a crazy place just below it -and there were people on it! You can see where they dredge sand out of the river beyond the dam and also how it is much smaller after the dam and the typical flat countryside with managed Poplar woodlands.

We went through some lovely villages with castles etc -but my companions would not collaborate and let me stop to take pics

Had a meal out in Trattoria and finally went to see our friends son who was night-time fishing on the Po just outside Cremona.
