    Arctic Heart The Arctic is vital to the health of Arctic Heart

The Arctic is vital to the health of our planet, and right now this icy heart is rapidly melting, threatening not only our polar regions, but our global ecosystem.

This iceberg heart found in Greenland, one of the places most affected by global warming, wants to be a symbol of this ecological disaster happening to our Planet Earth.

Thanks to the very low umidity of the air, the clarity was impressive, and this video has been shot from around 4.5 kilometers away.
The glacier looked so close, and it was impressive to see the loud roar of a calving several seconds after it happened, which made quite difficult to catch the right moment!
A show that I could have watched for days!!!

    An iceberg floating at sunset in Ilulissat, Greenl An iceberg floating at sunset in Ilulissat, Greenland. The most popular touristic destination in Greenland, Ilulissat actually means "Icebergs" (no surprises here).
Close to the Ilulissat Icefjord, an UNESCO World Heritage, it is truly a spectacular wonder of the Arctic.
This shot has been taken while kayaking nearby the Icefjord.

He was waiting for his son in a beautiful Lada Riva car, wearing an Ak-kalpak, the traditional felt hat, reputed to evoke the snow-capped peaks of this country of Central Asia.

    Carved from volcanic stones, the towns of Sorano a Carved from volcanic stones, the towns of Sorano and Pitigliano are ancient settlements in Maremma, the southern part of Tuscany.
They are called "borghi del tufo", since they have been built from a volcanic stone called "tuff".
Pitigliano, in particular, is also called Little Jerusalem. With small houses made of tuff and narrow alleys, it got its name from the jewish community that lived peacefully here in the past centuries.
The music is an homage to this Jewish heritage and it is "MIQEDEM - Psalm 23 (Live in Studio) תהילים כ״ג", all rights to the rightful owners.

    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."

    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."
(From Wikipedia)

    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.
