Sunday is come to visit a friend who works in Australia! After a long flight from Sydney / Doha / London, he took another flight just to come and say hello, only 5 hours together, but the gesture was wonderful! So we went to have a great steak and then to drink beer, chatting and joking a lot. Hope you come back soon !!
#Mondaycoins! Last two 2 €uro coins from 2009.The first, from Portugal, commemorates a gymnast spinning the ribbon, in honor of the second edition of the Lusofonia games in Lisbon. The second, from Belgium, once again commemorates Luis Braille, for the 200th anniversary of his birth.
#caturday ... But why do cats always choose the most uncomfortable places? :) :)
Mostar, Bosnia and Herzegovina, is a small town crossed by a river over which a famous stone bridge is built. Cultures and religions come together and the perceived atmosphere is one of peace and serenity. I drove up there with my car in 2011, and it was a beautiful and cultural experience!
One of the most beautiful trekking and nature trails I've done is definitely this: walking uphill, staying overnight in a tent with the risk of meeting a puma 😂 and then climbing large rocks to get to the mythical Torres del Paine, in Patagonia, Chile, where I am. been in December of 2004!
A new month demands a new #Splashot! Today I do the color sketch at Fishermans Wharf, Monterey, California boardwalk! It is located at the beginning of Big Sur, a rugged coastal area, spectacular for the scenery it offers!

In Fort Dauphin, it is more precisely in the Nainphoana reserve, in southern Madagascar, there are many species of lemurs, among the funniest animals I have seen! They move in absolute freedom and it is fun to observe them, especially in their movements and positions 😀. I was there in 2016, a long but not tiring journey!
The first #Mondaycoins of May !! The first coin, issued by Slovakia in 2009 commemorates the 20th anniversary of the velvet revolution for freedom and democracy. The second, coined by Italy also in 2009, commemorates the 200th anniversary of the birth of Luis Braille, the inventor of the code that allows the blind to write and read.
The first strawberries of the season are ready! But how good they are, then grown and harvested they give even more satisfaction!
When spring is at its peak, even simple trees take on special colors. In a small garden in my country I captured this show! Happy Saturday everyone
It is not easy in this period to talk about Moscow, Russia and the Kremlin .. In the hope that peace will triumph again, I decided to publish images from the immense Kremlin structure, which is extraordinary, with huge bells, churches, palaces and fortifications !
The great mosque in Xian, China, where I was in 2019, is a magical place: Chinese architecture blends with Muslim culture in a quiet and peaceful environment. It was a must! I must say that the whole city surprised me positively, with so many things to visit that I definitely appreciated!
Wednesday is the appointment with #Splashot !! Today a touch of color on a small fishing boat in Ilha de Mocambique, where I spent the last days of an intense journey, carried out in August 2017, in total relaxation. Good day everyone
Driving along the RN7, in Madagascar, where I made a long journey of 22 days, is an excellent experience, because in addition to being able to observe memorable views, during the stops you can capture interesting street photos!
I consider the Grand Place of Brussels one of the most beautiful squares in the world, on each side there are elegant buildings of great historical importance. In the first image they are in front of the majestic town, while in the second you can see the palace of the beer masters. I was there in both 2009 and 2012 and I liked the city very much!

#Mondaycoins. My appointment returns! The first coin, of 2009, issued by all states jointly, represents the 10th anniversary of the monetary economic union. The second, on the other hand, from Luxembourg, represents the 90th anniversary of the accession to the throne of Grand Duchess Charlotte.
In the bar where I go to have coffee and cocktails, a friend of mine made some very beautiful paintings / murals. The first is Freddy Mercury of Queen, the second Jim Morrison of the Doors. He is really good at drawing and deserves a lot of compliments!
A new #caturday !! Juary was a very beautiful cat, I liked his brindle hair very much. Unfortunately his life was short, but I still have many shots of him!
📸Street photo! Walking through Pashupatinah, the sacred city for the Nepalese, you have the chance to see many rituals including cremation. They are very different celebrations from my culture, but they are profound and very spiritual. Besides that there are many people with long hair and face decorations and many faces can be captured
A friend of mine had bought a couple of small parrots .. They have reproduced endlessly and now, in 2 large cages he has about 60 of them !! and he told me that they keep increasing in number 😀. They are truly gorgeous, all with different colored plumage! Good day to all my noiseFam
It's #Splashot day, yes !!! A happy hyppo with a bird on his back in Liwonde park in Malawi, where I was in 2017
The cherry tree in my garden is in full bloom today. I took the photo from my bedroom window, just in time, as I noticed that the first petals are falling. In a few days it will be all green, then pick it up many delicious cherries !!
2 images from my trip to Guatemala in 1998, in the wonderful Mayan site of Tikal, a city engulfed by the jungle and brought to light for the delight of every tourist. There are many temples that can be visited and many others still being restored, it seems that at their maximum splendor there were about 200 structures!
Easter in company! Today a nice lunch in the company of friends and this wonderful labrador puppy named Ziva!
Pepe was resting but I needed a shot for the #caturday .. He doesn't seem to have liked his expression !!
Skofja Loka is a small medieval gem in central Slovenia, a sleepy river runs through it creating an interesting backdrop. I visited this country last summer, on my first solo trip
SLOVENIA 2021
Good morning noise Fam. This morning at 06:25, as soon as I had finished the night shift, I noticed a plane in the sky that was drawing a nice diagonal .. Pink! The effect of the sunrise light in the wake created a wonderful effect!
#Splashot! Spring has also arrived in my garden, the cherry tree has begun to bloom and finally many bees are at work: there are dozens of them fluttering from one flower to another, filling with tasty pollen, it's a sight !!
Last Saturday I went to visit my uncles in Reggello, Tuscany. The view that appeared from his garden was exceptional: the charged clouds torn by 2 rays of sun! Is not it beautiful? Good day everyone
Here we are at #Mondaycoins. 2 splendid specimens from 2008..the first is from Portugal, coined in honor of the 60th year of human rights, represented by the stylized and colored Atlantic Ocean. The second is from France and clearly represents the European presidency.
