Quinto di Treviso

Location

This picture was taken near Quinto in a small town which is situated along one of the banks of the river Sile “Alzaia del Sile”

Physical landscape

In this picture I can see some big trees near the spring of the river which passes through the city of Treviso. The are also some algae and some other small trees.

Human landscape

On the left of the picture there are some pink buildings and a brownish wooden bridge that crosses the river. There are some very nice shops which are in the form of pink 3 storey buildings. The fence has been made of crossed logs. I think that the person who took this picture must have gone there by bike or by small boat like a canoe.

Environment impact on humans

In my opinion, tertiary sector activities might take place in this area, because it is a beautiful place worth visiting.

Human impact on environment

In my opinion the humans have treated this place well.
