Sardinian Cork Planks from The Gallura

Sardinian cork oak grows in abundance in the northwestern part of the island. The forests are large and breathtaking. The capital of cork in Sardinia is a small mountain town called Calangianus in the province of Olbia-Tempio.

These cork planks will be used to create some fascinating items like: kitchen utensils, serving trays, containers, insulation, spice stands and various souvenirs like: purses, notebooks and postcards.

85% of Italy’s bottled cork comes from the Gallura. Cork oak is first harvested when the tree reaches the age of 25-30 years and then harvested every 10 years after. The lifespan of a cork oak 150 years.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Summer

This week’s photo challenge is summer and I just knew the photo I wanted to submit. I took this photo while on a return three-week vacation to Cayman Islands. It’s certainly not the best photo in my collection with the crooked horizon line, but I like it.

For me, summer is all about cold sweaty beer on hot sandy beaches with beautiful natural blue skies as the backdrop.

What is summer to you? Let me know in the comment section below.
