Exploring Sardegna I ran into a well rendered hydro dam Diga Pedra 'e Othoni
My plane is that little speck above the trees
Cala Luna, a secluded beach reachable by boat or hiking
It has big caves for shade with nice sand
Cala Sisine, another secluded beach
So nice
Carloforte with historical saltworks on Isola di San Pietro
Torre Foghe
The West coast or Sardegna is known for its red rocks and waterfalls
Asinara national park
It’s on an island of the North-East coast of Sardegna
Spectacular coast line
Real life
Approaching Propriano on Corsica
Rosazia, staying beneath the clouds
Calanques de Piana
More red cliffs making up the coast line
Monte Clinto hidden in the clouds
Calvi, North-West end of Corsica
Back to Italy, to Pisa, which unfortunately is missing its famous tower
The tower is there (cathedral and baptistry are flat) however it’s not leaning, just a cylinder.
On to Bologna, PG area. View from the train station
Finastrella, the vertical running canal in the middle at the bottom is apparently a tourist atrraction
Looks like its being restored
At first I thought the building height bug had invaded Bologna. But it’s all correct. Apparently in the 12th century noble families saw it as a status symbol to build high towers for viewing the city
The Two towers at Piazza di Porta Ravegnana
View from the South with Basilica di San Petronio on the left
On the first picture of Bolgna, you might have noticed the building on top of the hill on the right
That’s the Sanctuary of the Madonna di San Luca
While heading to Venice I got in a big thunderstorm crossing over the mountains. Thanks to synthetic vision, no problem to avoid the peaks and luckily there was a gap in the weather to check out Venice
Despite the gloomy weather, Piazza San Marco still looks great
From the side, Palazzo Ducale on the right with Basilica di San Marco behind
One more shot of Venice before heading into the Alps
Hmm, this doesn’t look good. More thunder storms
My initial destination, Campo di Volo Tignes, has zero visibility and since it’s a small airfield, no lights and not on synthetic vision. I diverted to the nearest airport that did have runways visible on the G1000. It wasn’t needed, the runway at Aviano military base is well lit and just below the clouds. Enjoying the thunderstorm after a safe smooth landing.
Tomorrow into the Alps, hopefully in better weather conditions.
