Here and there: Four - A glimpse of Italy
It's time for a change of location for this week's here and there post so I'm bringing you some shit photos from Italy, a place I've been to several times and love a lot.
In this post you'll find some totally shit photographs taken with the totally shit camera I had at the time with images from inside the Ferrari Museum, The Cinque Terra area, specifically Vernazza, a shot from inside the Lamborghini Museum and inside an amazing private car collection called the Umberto Panini Collection. I've written posts about these locations before so won't go into it in this post as the here and there posts are all about the images.
As always, if there's a question you'd like to ask or you have a comment then go ahead and leave it below in the comments section.

It looks so beautiful
Cheers.
Ah bringing back memories for me man! I loved Cinque Terre even though I was only there for a day. Such a beautiful spot! I didnt visit the museum, was it inside the zone too or was it outside? There’s lots of car related things there lol so it’s hard to keep ‘em straight
Cinque Terra is a nice part of Italy and our time there was really enjoyable. As for the museums I mention, they're all around the Bologna/Modena area which is about 230 kilometres to the west of La Spezia via Parma. We were based at La Spezia for several days and roamed out from there including walking the coastal path linking the five towns (Cinque Terra). Good memories indeed.
Hi @galenkp, I have the feeling that in Italy you liked some of the interior landscapes better than the exterior ones. Understandable looking at these pictures.
I have something like 9,000 photos I took in Italy over the several times I've been there and those images are of all sorts of things. There's a lot to like in Italy and I'm hoping to go back and fill in some of the blanks because there's a lot of it I'm yet to see.
Sure, Italy is a country with great contrasts and with very varied landscapes and people. So I look forward to more pictures.
There will be some for sure.
👍
Wow sir thanks for sharing such photos and content tbh I am a car lover and I have never ever seen such type of cars in real. Bcoz in India it's very Very rare. 🙃 btw which part of the world u are from?
Yeah, there's some nice cars to look at and drive I guess, works of art really.
You've asked me this before, and I responded.
Ohhh 🙃🙂 I might not attend that, sorry for this. I wish I would drive these car some days 😙😙
You've posted some really shitty pictures, but the one that's the shittiest is the second one, that's my favourite one with an amazing view.... although ... how bad is this picture!
Italy is beautiful, my maternal grandmother was Italian. Hug!
Terrible images indeed, I must be bonkers!
Don't worry, you're not the only one!
Despite living not so far from Cinque Terre (roughly 2 and a half hours), I've been there only once during a school trip.
Instead I've been quite a few times in Liguria, when I was younger, both to enjoy the sea or to hop on a cruise ship (Savona and Genoa are two of the major ports near Tuscany).
Maybe it's time to consider getting there again, as I have a lot of good memories and would like to create some more :)
It's strange how sometimes we don't go to places that are so close to us but travel much further afield instead. It happens here as well.
Maybe you'll get there and take a wander around and see if you can find more to see and more good memories.
Yeah, this is so true! Quite often in Florence I stumble upon places which are quite famous and I'm like "why have I never been here!?" ahahah meanwhile there are some places where I've been for a few weeks in my whole like and I've seen almost everything there...
I guess that this happens because we always feel we have, and will have, time to see and visit what we have around us, so we procrastinate day after day... which doesn't make any sense, if one think about it, does it?
You're right about the procrastination and the time thing...but our time is limited and none of us really know when our time will be up so I reckon it's best to get stuff done rather than procrastinate. I get the impression you'll agree.
100%
If I can do something today, I'll do it today.
Saying "I'll do it tomorrow", more often than not, becomes "I'll never do it". I know quite a few poeple that live like that... and the truth is that they almost never act, only complain and repeat "today is not the right day, I'll do something tomorrow".
That's the right attitude for sure.
Also, Firenze...one of my favourite places in Italy!
I can see it just from the fact that you call it with its name, and not a translation!
Yeah, I have a big fleur-de-lis tattoo on my upper right arm as well, a homage of sorts.
Beautiful! It would be something to show off during a Fiorentina football match, also :)
Oh yeah, it's certainly one way to show support. 😊
I love these photos - maybe it is because I also love Italy so no scene from there can be "shitty" for me and I also love car shows. I enjoyed your photos and the flash back.
Ah yes, another Italy lover. What was your favourite part and why?
Yes indeed - I must say I like going to the Lake Como region. We've been there several times - exploring the villages up and down the "crooked Y". This summer we might get out of our comfort zone and go somewhere else but we shall see.
Indeed, I've been there as well and it's worth going back. You must have many pictures from there, it'd be nice to see some.
Yes - I have tons of photos - good and "shitty ones" 😀. Here are a few blogs which I have embedded.
Going down the lake is highly recommended.
I loved Varenna - it's a romantic village;
this place has great food - no frills;
famous Bellagio and the surrounding areas is a must see;
I also love the spontaneity and friendliness of people we meet in these beautiful settings.
Also one must buy good olive oil whilst visiting - I had to see for myself whilst enjoying Lenno.
I hope you enjoy these fotos.
Wè visited Italy for the first time last summer and it was amazing. The food is outstanding and the wine omg.
Great memories thanks for reminding me 😂👍
There's a lot to like isn't there?
When I went for the first time I thought, wtf, how long has this been going on?
It's a long, long way from Australia but we've been back several times and there's more to come.
Wow, this looks really beautiful. Italy is on my wife's bucket list of places she wants to visit one day. I hope I am able to take her there at some point.
It's worth a visit or three.
I've been multiple times and there's still so much ground to cover. I hope y'all make it there.
My dad went when he was in the Navy, but that's the closest any of my family has been to it that I know of!
Spaghetti man, get it on it. The best ever. (That's an awesome reason to go right there!)
Will do!
The private collection must have been a unique experience, looks like frozen in time; I see cars with a lot of history, I can't comment about the other two because What can I say about Ferrari and Lamborghini? Just that I loved that photos and well, Italy is Italy. I think it's impossible to take a shitty photo in Italy 😅
I really need to know your concept of 'shitty photography' No way, mate, those photos are spectacular, I loved it, or is it just me being a car enthusiast? 😅
It's an interesting place with so much history which suits me fine. Of course there's so much more than just history to keep one engaged as well. We had a really good time over the visits we've made there and have managed to find something interesting and different on each occasion.
A Wake-Up Call: Accountability and Redemption in the Hive Ecosystem
To those who believe their actions on the Hive blockchain go unnoticed, it’s time to confront the truth. The power you think you wield through downvotes, vote farming, and manipulation is an illusion. True strength lies in doing what’s right, not in exploiting systems for personal gain or silencing others out of fear.
1. The Illusion of Power Through Exploitation
If you’re downvoting critics, running coordinated farms, or hoarding influence to control rewards, ask yourself: What does this say about your character? Manipulating Hive’s reward system doesn’t make you powerful—it exposes vulnerabilities. It shows a reliance on unethical tactics to feel significant in a space that was meant to empower everyone equally.
But here’s the reality: these actions won’t bring lasting satisfaction. At night, when you’re alone with your thoughts, do you truly believe what you’re doing is right? Regret has a way of lingering, and no amount of HIVE tokens can silence the voice inside telling you there’s a better path.
2. The Ripple Effect of Your Actions
Your choices don’t just harm Hive—they affect the people around you. Your online friends may follow along now, but loyalty built on shaky foundations crumbles quickly. And what about your family? Do they understand how much energy you pour into behaviors that ultimately hurt others and yourself?
Every action has consequences, and the deeper you dig, the harder it becomes to climb out. You’re not just harming Hive—you’re pulling those close to you into a cycle of negativity and regret. Is it worth it?
3. Change Before It’s Too Late
The Bilpcoin team isn’t here to attack individuals—we’re here to spark change. We’ve seen the evidence, and we know the impact of manipulative practices. But we also believe in redemption. There’s still time to step back, reflect, and choose a different path.
Ask yourself:
Hive deserves better. So do you.
4. Strength Lies in Doing What’s Right
Real power comes from integrity, not manipulation. Instead of focusing on how many tokens you can farm or how many users you can silence, consider how you can add value to the ecosystem. Create meaningful content, support genuine contributors, and advocate for reforms that benefit everyone—not just a select few.
If you continue down your current path, remember this: you are being watched. Many stay silent, but they see everything. Blockchain data doesn’t lie, and accountability always comes knocking—whether today, tomorrow, or years from now.
5. A Final Plea: Fix What Needs Fixing
It’s never too late to change course. Stop the farming, stop the toxicity, and start contributing to Hive in ways that uplift rather than tear down. If you’re struggling with why you’ve chosen this path, take a moment to reflect. Seek help if needed—there’s no shame in admitting you’ve lost your way.
The Hive community is watching, waiting, and hoping for positive change. Will you rise to the occasion, or will you let regret define your journey? The choice is yours.
From the Bilpcoin Team: We’re committed to helping Hive thrive by exposing the truth and fostering transparency. Let’s work together to build a stronger, fairer ecosystem—one where everyone has a chance to succeed.
What will your next move be?
Addressing the Downvote Issue on Hive: It’s Time for Real Change
Marky Mark Stop the manipulation game Lady Zaza Bpc AI Music
Let’s cut through the noise and address one of the most pressing issues holding Hive back from reaching its full potential: abusive downvotes. The Bipcoin team has consistently exposed the systemic problems that stifle growth on this platform, yet little to no action has been taken. If Hive is to thrive, we must confront these challenges head-on instead of engaging in empty discussions that lead nowhere.
Hive cannot grow if nothing changes. How can new users and smaller creators flourish when they are constantly suppressed by those who exploit the system? Many so-called “whales” contribute nothing meaningful to the ecosystem—instead, they focus solely on farming rewards through manipulative tactics like mass self-voting, spam content, or coordinated downvoting campaigns. These actions discourage genuine participation and erode trust within the community.
Blockchain transactions don’t lie. We’ve seen firsthand the shady methods used to game the system—whether it’s creating alt accounts to amplify votes, orchestrating downvote brigades, or hoarding influence without giving back to the network. Why does this behavior continue unchecked? Talk is cheap. Actions speak louder than words, and until concrete steps are taken to address these abuses, Hive will struggle to move forward.
We have repeatedly presented evidence of these practices, not to divide but to demand accountability. The truth is out there for anyone willing to look at the data. Yet, despite our efforts, the cycle persists. Today, we’re asking again: Can we finally talk about the real issues plaguing Hive? And more importantly, can we take decisive action to protect the integrity of this platform?
Do not let bullies destroy what makes Hive special. Abuse of power through downvotes and manipulation harms everyone—creators, curators, and the community as a whole. It’s time to fight back against these toxic practices and create an environment where all voices can be heard and rewarded fairly.
The Bipcoin team remains committed to exposing the truth and advocating for meaningful change. But we can’t do it alone. Together, let’s push for solutions that ensure Hive becomes a place of opportunity, fairness, and growth—for everyone.
Enough talk. Let’s see action.

Sometimes the best memories are captured with the worst cameras, right? Loved this unfiltered, raw throwback to Italy. Vernazza is such a gem! Would love to see what those same shots look like now if you went back with a better camera. Keep these coming!
Sometimes, I mean my memories have captured the moments better than any camera ever could and I'm content with that. I'll be back again and will have some more photos, whether they're good or not will be up to those who see them.
