    I am very happy of my 2nd place in the prestigious I am very happy of my 2nd place in the prestigious Drone Photo Awards 2022 with my shot "Aftermath of La Palma’s Volcano Eruption", in Nature category. The whole project has been also "Commended" as a portfolio project. This shot is a testimony of the power of Nature, and how we, as humans, we need to accept it. Caption: "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." . . . . . . . . . . . #traveldeeper #travelstoke #tasteintravel #mytinyatlas #tlpicks #bbctravel #lonelyplanet #darlingescapes #doyoutravel #livetravelchannel #cntraveler #travelawesome #traveltheworld #traveladdict #postcardsfromtheworld #travelandlife #athomeintheworld #travelpics #travelblogger #travelblog #travelbug #passportready #travelphoto #condenasttraveller #letsgoeverywhere #travelstroke #igtravel #yourshotphotographer #dronephoto #dronephotography

    The recently opened MUSEUM OF THE FUTURE of Dubai The recently opened MUSEUM OF THE FUTURE of Dubai is one of the most beautiful building I've seen in the world, it is simply a wonder for the eye, especially at night, when the contrast with it's surroundings are even more clear. "The exterior façade of the building comprises windows that form an Arabic poem by Dubai's ruler about the emirate’s future. The words written on the Dubai Museum of the Future are 3 quotes from Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the United Arab Emirates are: ·      We won't live for hundreds of years, but we can create something that will last for hundreds of years. ·      The future will be for those who will be able to imagine, design and build it, the future does not wait, the future can be designed and built today. ·      The secret of the renewal of life, the development of civilization and the progress of humanity is in one word: innovation."

    I've first known about Easter Island when I was a I've first known about Easter Island when I was a kid, watching the 1994 movie "Rapa Nui". Even if the movie was not at all historically accurately, it is a representation of the failure of a society, that was unable to live in harmony with the same environment that was supporting it. This history is beautifully described in the book "Collapse" by Jared Diamond, that explain in details the rise and fall of this fascinating civilization. Only the mohai statues are left in the island to remind us of their tragic history. . . . . . . . . . . . #postcardsfromtheworld #optoutside #solotravel #goexplore #wonderfulplaces #travelbug #wanderlust #momentsofmine #travelstories #roamtheplanet #traveltheworld #instatravelling #mytravelgram #travelphotography #lovetravel #travelpics #travelwithfriends #travelinspiration #Travelgram #Travelholic #Travelbook #Traveller #Travel_Captures #Instatravel #SeeTheWorld #TravelTheWorld #TravelAddict #Travellingram #rapanui #easterisland

    "In the 12th century, AlUla Old Town became an ess "In the 12th century, AlUla Old Town became an essential settlement along the pilgrimage route from Damascus to Makkah. The city gradually replaced Qurh, to the south of AlUla, and is favourably mentioned by travellers from the 12th to the 20th centuries, when modern AlUla was constructed nearby. The houses were designed to be attached to one another, providing fortification, which hints to defence being a priority for the city's early inhabitants. At one point, the city was accessed by 14 gates, which were opened in the morning to welcome travellers, pilgrims and other visitors, and closed each evening. The ancient city’s recent occupation has enabled researchers to begin to gather oral histories, painting a picture of what life was like inside its walls" From Experience Al Ula Saudi Arabia . . . . . . . . . . . #traveldeeper #travelstoke #tasteintravel #mytinyatlas #tlpicks #bbctravel #lonelyplanet #darlingescapes #doyoutravel #livetravelchannel #cntraveler #travelawesome #traveltheworld #traveladdict #postcardsfromtheworld #travelandlife #athomeintheworld #travelpics #travelblogger #travelblog #travelbug #passportready #travelphoto #condenasttraveller #letsgoeverywhere #travelstroke #igtravel #yourshotphotographer #alula #saudiarabia

    The Sunken Crosses of Malpique is a unique diving The Sunken Crosses of Malpique is a unique diving site in the island of La Palma, at just 20meter of depth. This underwater cemetery was created in 2000 to commemorate the martyrdom of 40 monks killed in the XVI century, and that's an incredible story: "The story of the graveyard goes back more than 400 years, to 1570. The Canary Islands had been under Spanish control for over a century and were seen as a valuable trading colony. Unfortunately for the Spanish, this attracted a lot of pirates, who wanted to share in this newly acquired wealth. As such, the waters around the Canary Islands and Madeira were not a safe place. This, however, did not deter Portuguese missionary Inácio de Azevedo and his 39 Jesuit companions from their travel to La Palma. But luck was not on their side, and they were boarded by a crew of French pirates led by Jacques de Sores, who wanted the ship and cargo for himself. Though de Sores wanted the ship, he did not want the 40 men aboard it, so he decided to dispose of them in an exceptionally cruel way. He threw them into the sea and watched them slowly drown and sink to the bottom, all while they were just within reach of the island."

    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.

    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.
