Man made structures stick out of the panorama. It seems they could stand time for thousand years more. Like the two columns of the Phoenician ruins of Tharros … if only archeologist did not build them in the XXth century to obtain grants at support of the archeological site…

Passages allow entering the unknown, but not always they lead to somewhere else. This is the case of Sardegna sacred water wells, built by natives around 3,0000 years ago at protection of water sources. Passages can also split what is aside, like San Marco cape: on one side the always calm Mare Morto (dead sea), on the other side the waves of the open sea. Or passages may indeed lead to the other side, but just to let you enjoy the panorama in between. Click each picture to zoom in.
