I took it from the Monte d'Oro (Golden Mountain) hill in the municipality of Muggia, located in the province of Trieste. Here we can see the gulf of Trieste and a part of the large port. The ship in the fg. is an oil-tanker under unloading operation of the liquid minerals in the SIOT pipeline, while the others are waiting for a free dock. The thin line in the middle of the frame, I suppose to be the wave-breaker, used to protect the harbour to avoid problems during the delicate operations.
The international Free Port of Trieste was founded in 1719 and is now a modern functional facility. It is the only port on the Adriatic with a natural sea depth, able to accommodate the biggest vessels, it is located at the centre of the new Europe.
Situated at the northernmost point of the Adriatic Sea, the port of Trieste can cater for all the operational needs of sea, road and rail transports.
The Free Port of Trieste is subdivided into 5 different Free Areas, 3 of which have been allotted to commercial activities:
- the Old Free Area,
- the New Free Area,
- the Timber Terminal.
The remaining two, the Mineral Oils Free Area and the “Canale di Zaule” Free Area, are used for industrial activities.

Here is a funny interacive map of the port, on which is easy to understand the location of the present vessel.

I stayed at this pov for more than two hours and took hundreds of shots, because was amazed by the continuously changing of the light and colors.

This is the first of the series I'm going to upload, the other 523 I'm planning to post in the next ten years (:D.

Apart a bit of highlightening, no pp work was done!
