    Spotting a leopard is generally quite difficult du Spotting a leopard is generally quite difficult during a safari, since they are scared of humans and try to avoid them, and also because they hunt at night.
So finding one during the day is super challenging: in this case, we've spotted a beautiful male hiding up to a tree, trying to cool down from the hot of the day.
From the shot, you can easily see how their silhouette is mixed with the branches of the tree.
Shot in Queen Elizabeth National Park, Uganda.

    The impressive eruption of volcano Cumbre Vieja hi The impressive eruption of volcano Cumbre Vieja hit the island of La Palma at the end of 2021. For 3 months the lava river destroyed over 3000 buildings, 90 kilometers of roads and endless hectares of banana plantations, leaving more than 2000 people homeless. The landscape changed completely by a 15-meters layer of lava rock, and by thousands of tons of volcanic ash, that covers the land with a grey blanket. The houses that survived are often cut off from the rest of the island, leaving them isolated in a black smoking desert. 
A breathtaking and terrible show of strength of Mother Nature.

    This is definately my favorite wreck dive in Porto This is definately my favorite wreck dive in Porto Santo and Madeira: Corveta Pereira shipwreck is the same class of Alfonso Cerqueira in Madeira, but it was sunk in 2016, so nature had more years to “conquer” it with a vibrant marine life.
In this shot, fishes are in the foreground, while the menacing cannons of the ship emerges from the blue background.

    Gorilla Harmony On Earth there are left only over Gorilla Harmony

On Earth there are left only over a thousand mountain gorillas, a critically endangered species that barely survived extinction in the last century, found only in the mountains between Congo, Uganda and Rwanda. Great conservation efforts - led in the 80s by world-famous zoologist Diane Fossey - saved this great ape that shares 99% of DNA with humans.
Bwindi Impenetrable Forest in Uganda is one of the very few places where it is possible to meet one of these gentle giants, and as the name clearly suggests, it is not an easy feat.
Once you are assigned a specific family of gorilla, among the ones that are habituated to humans, the very early morning trekking with the rangers to find it starts. It is a matter of luck and strength and tt could take half an hour to find them in a nice clearing, where the group is eating and playing, or it can take 4 hours of hard trekking in steep slopes and thick jungle; once you find them you have only one hour to spend with them, before heading back to basecamp.
My experience was the latter, and we found our family hidden in the slopes of a dense part of the forest. I spotted this male mountain gorilla sitting quite peacefully behind a very thick layer of vegetation: I managed to find a tiny space where I could frame him through my tele lens, and waited patiently for a ray of sun to penetrate and light up his orange eyes… all lasted just a few minutes, before he moved away into the forest, disappearing again. A brief moment for capturing this shot, and imprinting an everlasting memory of our encounter.
