Looking across the Piave River

There was an area near the river to park, it was close enough to walk over the scrubby land of washed stones to see the different colours in the water, John had the bino’s on the lookout for birds, just a couple crows and a warbler. Nearby are signs indicating memorials for the Great War, the river was part of the battle ground in 1918 and previously in the Napoleonic wars.

From the Internet:
The Piave is 137 miles long, it rises on the slopes of Mount Peralba in the Carnic Alps near the Austrian frontier and flows southward to the Belluno basin and its gorge at Feltre, where it turns southeast to meander across the Venetian plain, reaching the Adriatic Sea at Cortellazzo, northeast of Venice.
