Have you ever entered a country and did not know its existence until that moment? That's what happened to me when I saw this huge sign, so I immediately stopped! Then I got information. Within Bosnia and Herzegovina there is a Serb majority entity that still claims independence today. I made this trip by car, I thought I was going to cross 4 countries, instead they became 5!! :)
The beauty of my travels is that they never end .. Once back, all the emotions are absorbed and metabolized. Then comes a phase in which there is a great desire to see your fellow adventurers again. The tour operator with whom I travel organizes 2 national gatherings every year, both close to my home .. So I can never miss, and so I see many friends for 2 days, with whom we talk, joke, have dinner and in the style of travel, we share the houses for the night! Appointment in September !!
The sky for the past 2 days has been quite gray so I didn't really want to go for my usual walk. In the last issue I took a lot of photos including these 2. I really like the first one, the blur in the background came out well, of the second I like the details!
Good morning noise! Somewhere in Nepal we found this amazing Tibetan bridge. It is very exciting to go through it and I couldn't help but take a lot of shots! In the last photo I am with my whole group of adventurers, the absolute best I have had to date!

Good evening noise Fam! Do you like murals and street artists? I am fascinated by it, I am convinced that someone can make unique and beautiful works of art. One Saturday in 2016 in Bologna, Italy, there were about twenty artists who had the opportunity to paint along a large viaduct. I took these 2 photos there!
New Wednesday .. #Splashot! Today a rather particular splash, in this period in which the winds of war blow strongly .. I was to pay homage to the tomb of a great poet, painter and songwriter, Violeta Parra! Her music was centered on spreading popular traditions and her motifs always centered on peace and love. Her song "Thanks to life" reads in one verse: "when I look at good far from evil" .. We hope that the madness that is taking place in Ukraine will stop already today. Good day everyone

3 images from the town of Lugano, Switzerland. I visited the chocolate museum, then a walk in Piazza della Riforma, the city center and finally a long walk on the edge of the large and fascinating alpine lake. Although the prices are very high, many tourists come here every year. I've been there in 2010 π¨π
Bratislava! It is the capital of the republic of Slovakia, a small colorful and clean city, the historic center offers excellent views and can be easily explored on foot! The photos date back to 2007, where I went with 2 other friends in the car. From my home it takes about 12-13 hours to get there but it was fun! Good day everyone, I hope there is a lot of noise today!
A great nugget of gold! The largest!! They call it "Hand of Faith" and it's on display at the Golden Nugget Casino in Crazy Las Vegas !! It weighs 27 kg and is 46 centimeters thick. I was fascinated to observe it for several minutes, it has an incredible attraction!

#Mondaycoins. Today I am showing you special and rare coins. They represent the 50th of the treaties of Rome, in which the European economic community was established in 1957. These coins were jointly issued by all states in 2007, they are all the same, only the national mint changes. The first is issued by Italy, the second by the Netherlands. The other images are of a very rare package issued by the German post office, in a laminated booklet and also containing 4 stamps on the left side, as well as 5 coins, each with its own small letter that differentiates them
Organ pipe, Namibia. Along the road that took me from Palmwag to the Skeleton coast, we came across this spectacular rock formation, perfectly square by erosion. In the second image I am with 2 of the best travelers ever in my almost 10 years of adventures, Giorgia and Elena, who I still see now! β€οΈ! The Last Image is a strange plant growing in the surrounding desert called Euphorbia damarana.
Namibia 2015
Good Sunday friends! Images from Kranj, a small town in Slovenia close to the capital. The medieval center is well preserved and colorful, it is also pedestrianized, so it is very relaxing to spend time there. The photos are related to my passage to Slovenia in 2007
Since I want sun, warmth and blue skies, I pulled out of my gallery the photos of the beginning of last summer, when I went to look for the fields of ripe wheat in the area called Val d 'Orcia, in Tuscany, Italy. The scenery was perfect and I think I'll be back in a month, instead of all yellow, it will all be green!
Happy #caturday This is Frida last Saturday! I had the pleasure of going to my friends, so, in addition to photographing her many times, we played with the children a lot, until she, exhausted, curled up on a chair near the heating and collapsed!
Good weekend dear friends. I show you other photos of the famous thermal baths of the Mulino, in Tuscany, where I was last January 1st! Although it was cold, both in the water and in the surrounding area, it was quite warm, as can be seen from the steam! The spas are free and full of beneficial properties, as well as being spectacular to the eye!
Madakaripura waterfalls, Java island, Indonesia. It is a spectacular series of waterfalls located in a high and narrow canyon full of vegetation. That little orange dot in the first photo is me, to make you understand how huge the canyon is. I got wet and had a lot of fun doing this hike.
Indonesia 2018
πΈ Street photo! Shots from the magnificent, ramshackle and colorful city of Harar in southeastern Ethiopia. The ideas for this kind of photos are almost infinite, in every street of the city, completely fortified, the activities of the people are continuous, even if with a lot of relaxation. I loved getting lost in the alleys and taking lots of photos!
Good morning noise Fam! Just back from a short walk, just an hour to breathe some fresh air. Temperatures, at least during the day, are finally going higher, spring is really upon us and these photos prove it: flowers in abundance in a rosemary plant and bees that flutter and work with pollination
Tonight I take you to explore a cave, Che Chem Ha, located in San Ignacio, Belize, where I was in 2006.The story is incredible: the owner of the land, many years ago, heard his dog bark and saw him running after. a wild animal. Then suddenly they both disappeared into a bush .. Then he decided to remove all the branches and leaves, and discovered the cave, which is inside that small opening. Inside he found many artifacts of the ancient Mayans, some are still there and I have seen them!
Here we are at the appointment with the #Splashot! On my last walk, I found an evergreen bush with small clusters of red berries. It was very photogenic, especially for macros. My color sketch for today is about these little berries
Bryce canyon .. One of the wonders of nature! The erosion due to atmospheric agents has created these spectacular pinnacles called hoodoos, and especially as soon as the sun rises they light up with white, pink and orange. I visited the park in the state of Utah in August 2013
Every now and then I stop too π. Here I am happily lying under a beautiful palm tree in Ilha de Mozambique, where I was in August 2017. The following shots are at sunset ... The sun sets in the sea and radiates with all its colors and lights on the village and the fort di San Sebastiano, the last structure on the right.
2 old shots from the wonderful Istambul, where I went with friends in 2002, to visit both the cities and the Cappadocia region. Here we were in the area of ββthe splendid Hagia Sophia, considered a marvel of Byzantine art.
Happy new week everyone! #Mondaycoins: the first 2 euro coin is from Finland 2006 and commemorates the centenary of universal suffrage. The second, very rare and expensive, is the first coin ever issued by Germany, and depicts Holstentor, the gateway to LΓΌbeck. On the right you can see 2 small H, the engraver's initials, while on the left you can see the small letter J, symbol of the mint of issue, that of Hamburg.
Happy Sunday Noiseland! Last night I had an amazing evening with my favorite friends and their children. Dinner at a Mexican restaurant frozen margaritas with melted cheese and a spicy dish of beef, chillies, tomatoes and salad! We then went home to play box games, and it was the top end of a great night!
Today is a vegetarian #caturday ππ I took this photo somewhere in Java, Indonesia, during a short layover. This cat has been looking at vegetables for a long time and never turned around! The photo, however, seems nice to me even so. Good noise everyone!
A tough trek! But with an exceptional final gratification: the Paine towers, Patagonia, Chile 2004. The park, huge and well kept, is a UNESCO protected biosphere reserve. The views are beautiful on each route, but the grand finale is always under these granite towers that drop sheer down to a gorgeously colored pond.
The Hsin Byu Me pagoda, in Mingun, Myanmar. It is an extraordinary structure, with its 7 rolling terraces. I consider the first photo one of the most beautiful I have taken in all my travels. While I was looking at the pagoda I thought: "It would be great if now, when there is no one, a monk in his red robe passed by, it would make a beautiful contrast with the blue sky and the white pagoda." magic!
An exceptional place and sea, it could seem the Maldives, or Zanzibar, or the Seychelles .. Instead this wonder is found on the island of Crete, Greece! I am not a great lover of the sea, but when it is like this I am happy and I enjoy it all
Greece 2008
Last night my friends sent me photos from every sector of the stadium. The scenography was spectacular !!! Represents the divine poet, Dante Alighieri in the flames of hell with a phrase taken from the Divine Comedy, with a phrase taken from hell, canto 26 (XXVI) ... "through hell your name spreads". The match did not go well, but I am confident that we will win the second leg and go to the national cup final
