Popular Post renault Posted May 21, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted May 21, 2022 (edited) Marina di Campo airport is the airport for the Italian island of Elba. It is located in the village of La Pila. Perhaps it's most famous resident in its long history was Napoleon Bonaparte, who was exiled here in early 1814 after he was dethroned. I've always wanted to visit Elba as I thought after reading a book about Napoleon , that he was on to a good thing. Cheers Kodiak 100, RexWeatherForce Live Weather, RexAccuseasons - "Summer - Peaceful Meadow setting" Now this is where I really want to be ..... Poolside! In fact that little table has my name all over it The got me loaded and I thought that all I need are passengers and I can be off. But then they all disappeared - lunch ! So instead, here I stay , out on the tarmac, in the heat , dreaming of better times Edited May 21, 2022 by renault 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stillwater Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 Fantastic shots Pete, I can almost SMELL being there.

The most famous visitor there was my doctoral father, the writer of reference #2 in this article: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grüner_Igelwurm . In the 1980s he was harvesting Bonellia viridis with some hired divers in the Marina di Campo, to extract Bonellin, the green pigment of Chrorophyll-like structure, before developing the first lab synthesis of it. We had original samples (mg) of natural Bonellin in our lab fridge, obviously a treasure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To have a father who did that for a living, would have been a adventure every day for you. I just did some reading on it. Bonellin is not something you would want to have around without precautions by the sounds of it . The actual worm doesn't sound like the kind of creature you want to encounter either. I fully understand what you mean by the odor reference And the male of the species .... My goodness, I don't think I will sleep well tonight And I quite agree .... Napoleon .... not even close!! Cheers and thanks so much for this. I learned some fascinating things about something I knew absolutely nothing about All the best Pete 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
