Noticed a Florida tortoise at the edge of our drive way. We relocated it next to a tree in order to ensure that it would not get hit by a car and provide it with some shade.
The photo above were taken at another location and of another tortoise. This was identified as a gopher tortoise. This tortoise was moving toward to us and biting a small pieces grass which did not let go of. Interesting habits of the wild life existing in and around our property.
We planned to see learning tower in Pisa, Italy for years as you never know when it will finally topple over. When we finally stood there to take photos, we realized how little we really knew about the tower and world heritage site.
It took us more than 20 minutes to walk to the site with a tour guide. The bus could not park close to the site because there is no space for parking.
Piazza Del Duomo started construction in 1064 by building Cathedral dedicated to Santa Maria Assunta. Then baptistery construction began in 1152. The construction of bell tower did not begin until1173 and took 177 years to complete. Well, unfortunately the tower was built at a unstable foundation. The tower has been learning forward to south, stopping and learning again.
Because of the sheer number of people visiting the site, it was somewhat of a challenge to take a great picture without someone getting in front of the camera or standing taking their pictures.
