Insediamento eremitico di Sustrico, a photo from Perugia, Umbria

Photographer's Note

Given the winds of war, a bunker-sized hermitage can come in handy
Hermit settlement of Sustrico

Just upstream of Sustrico there are the interesting remains of a settlement, perhaps a hermit.
It consists of two small rooms, one built against the cliff, the other (in the photo) created by creating a vertical wall to close a natural cavity.
They were probably used as shelters during the Second World War and show signs of frequentation even in a fairly recent period.

Hello Silvio,
I guess this is the same place as yesterday, but it makes a very different appearance from outside. It makes me think of the much more recent bunkers littering the countryside of Albania. But this could only protect someone from rain, not from war. It's a fascinating building nevertheless, and I would be quite excited to find something like this.
Best regards,
Gert

Witaj Silvio!
A very interesting place, the bunker makes impression.
I like framing, colors and light.
Nice presentation my friend.
Have a nice weekend.
Krzysztof

Ciao Silvio,bella vista esterna, in effetti sembra un bunker, perfetto per la guerra, qualche aggiustamento c'e' stato per quella occasione osservando i mattoni all'ingresso,cattura perfettissima. Buon weekend,Luciano

Hi Silvio,

L'arbre donne une touche de nature � la sc鑞e. La prise de vue permet de voir les d閠ails de l'abri de l'ermite. La lumi鑢e fait ressortir les couleurs. Bonne soir閑.

Hello dear Silvio and have a nice day
and a happy evening
original version
thanks for the sharing and the
useful notes about this
looking at the entrance I have
the feeling that this opening
presents the figure of a man
dressed in black cloths
isn't it????
regards
costantino

Hi Silvio,
well taken this old settlement, good sharpness and impressive effect with this shadow door like a ghost silhouette, tfs.

Hi Silvio,
Very strange place to stay. I wonder if someone really lived there permanently. Shape of the entrance is interesting. It reminds of a human silhouette. Or more precisely the logo of Sandeman Port.

Hello Silvio,
The hermitage looks a bit like an igloo. But made of stones and it is located in a rock environment.
Also a nice addition of the tree and some smaller plants.
Best regards, Paul

Hello Silvio,
From this angle, we can clearly see that the cave was augmented by a building. Very nice!

silvio

excellent this external view of the door and window. we can see exactly as the people of those days used these rustic walls to close the cave and live inside.

take care

Ciao Silvio,
I wonder whether it is difficult to build a nuclear shelter. I suppose they may become popular again these days.
Very well spotted ancient structure with modern application.
The door seems to be extended at the top as if a very tall person was not able to fit and needed to make extra opening for their head.
Very well done,
M

Truely it looks as a hideaway place, Silvio.
Fine this frontal POV, well done photojob.
Buona serata,
Ike
