little sketch in a pine wood-Concetta Flore
The "pineta" of Castelporziano used to be a vast pine forest extending behind Ostia, on the sea shore near Rome. A few years ago a devastating fire destroyed a large part of it, and though many pine trees have been re-planted, the maquis is still low. We walked towards an area that remained untouched and where the pine trees, still tall and healthy, harbored many songbirds and woodpeckers in full springtime activity.

ReplyDeletethank you Kate, t's always a challenge for me to squeeze vistas in a small page...
DeleteYes Studio, it is a beautiful spot and re-growth is always encouraging, although many charred skeletons are still standing.
I love this page Concetta. Looking at it I can almost hear those woodpeckers.
