Steve...exactly what I was thinking! What's the reason behind naming the Stilts "Italy's Knights"??
They're delicate,slim and fragile...I see nothing in common with knights
Then again, the way birds are named here in Italy is a very weird thing: the Kingfisher is called "Martin pescatore" which means Martin the fisherman trailhiker wrote:
Cavallieri d'Italia for a Stilt? I think I'll start calling our Stilts Cavallieri d'Americano, sounds so much more...operatic. I love the ground-level perspectives on these, it really adds to the photos. I'd say my fave is the Godwit but oh, those Smews (I like saying that, too).
Best Wishes,

Hey Lars glad you like them
That watch shot is my top fav. so far. I really like the gold&blue colours in it. Other watches tend to be dull-coloured Lars Johnsson wrote:
A great series Nello. The Kingfisher is my favorite but I also love the Stilt. The wristwatch photo is very nice also
Thx Frank. I try my best
Now, you touched my weak spot! INTEEEEEEER for the championship! that's the 3rd in a row
Man, we went from HEAVEN (+9 pts. over ROMA) to HELL (only +1 over ROMA before the game), to DEEPER HELL (at half-time we were at -1 !) and back into HEAVEN again now
Yesterday the fans went crazy on the streets everything was in tilt for the celebrations you should see the face turists make when the subway gets flooded w screaming fans w huge black/blue flags and deafening sounds
There was an american family next to me going WTF ?? hahaha

I watched the game on Tele-Latino, an Italian language station out of Toronto. The great thing about TLN is that, not only have they been airing three games every Sunday, they do it with English commentary (for which I'm eternally grateful!)!! The only problem on the last game day was that the commentator couldn't help but keep the viewers up to speed on the Roma game which (I needn't tell you), was being played simoultaneously. Then they aired the Roma game later in the afternoon, but knowing the outcome rather spoiled it. Now we have Euro 2008 to look forward to!!
