Trullo, Puglia, Italy
"A trullo (plural, trulli) is a traditional dry stone hut with a conical roof. Trulli were generally constructed as temporary field shelters and storehouses or as permanent dwellings by small proprietors or agricultural labourers. Their golden age was the 19th century. Their style of construction is specific to the Itria Valley, in the Murge area of the Italian region of Puglia"

Very interesting. And these aren't found in other parts of Italy?
Hmmm. At first I thought they were for people with tall, pointy heads! ;-)

I like the varied distances in these fine shots of the stone hut's conical roof. Altogether they make a fine post.

Hello dear Ash, I am back posting.;)
LOVE these images, they have an aura of sun and warmth. Love the contrast of white and blue, and the smoothness of the sky against the roughness of the stone structure.;))
xoxo
Hi Ash! So, We, The People who are not in holidays, keep the blogosphere alive... ;)
Ah, La Terra dei Trulli!! I love it... And Alberobello with the famous ristorante «Il Poeta Contadino»...

This is unique ash! Nice knowing about this hut type. The combination of blue sky and white hut is very beautiful in pictures.

What fascinating architecture, I haven't seen anything quite like this before.
Beautiful photographs. The stone masonary reminds me of Bouddh Stupas. Thanks.
The stone hut with conical roof is very interesting. The little note you wrote helped me understand it.

Great Images
It seems crazy that something so beautiful and ornate would just simply be a hut. How lovely.
