Memories of Tuscany: Marina di Bibbona

Just about 10km south from our accommodation at Cecina is this small but pleasant seaside resort of Mariana di Bibbona. Like lots of the beaches around here, many places are reserved for those that are willing to pay. I – well, I wander around with my camera looking for scenes like this, and I very seldom sit down to sun-bathe. Hope you enjoyed this free view as much as I did. Especially in full screen
Ps - We will visit the hillside village of Bibbona later.

A single track railway line went over this narrow bridge at one time and I am old enough to remember seeing Steam-shunters going over it too. To the left of the river here were old coal mine workings and a steam pump-house -hence the weir. The track to the right went through quarries and into a big iron works including foundries that made railway lines etc. All gone now, since many years.
Enjoy the colours in the still water today.

A view here of this, what we used to call 'The waterfall' in the country park of Park Bridge. Always a pleasant sight, especially in this lighting. many times I have seen people taking a quick picnic sat on the rocks on the left here. On our return trip today, we passed some boys taking a quick dip in here in their underclothes. Not a thing that I would do, as in years passed, this was one of the most polluted rivers in this area.
See too, my alternative views and times here.
