    Hermitage of Santa Caterina del Sasso, on Lake Mag Hermitage of Santa Caterina del Sasso, on Lake Maggiore, Italy. This place has a captivating story, since the Middle Ages: "It is here that Alberto's legendary story is born: belonging to the wealthy Besozzi house (of Arolo or Monvalle), rich and greedy merchant, husband of an equally rich girl, he leads a carefree life. Returning from the "Vergante" market, a sudden storm, with rain and strong wind, surprises and overturns his small boat; floating clinging to a piece of wood, frightened by possible and near death, Albert invokes the holy martyr Catherine of Alexandria in Egypt, vowing to change his lifestyle and devote himself solely to penance and prayer. Fortunately managed to run aground just below the Sasso Bàllaro or Rupe Bàllara, he retreats to a natural cave, eating herbs and roots. When, many years later, a terrible plague strikes the territory along the shores of the lake, the inhabitants of the neighboring villages ask the hermit for prayers and he, in exchange, has a small chapel built in honor of Saint Catherine, similar to the sepulcher of the martyr on Mount Sinai: it is from this ancient heart, now hidden in the back of the church, that everything that we can admire today is born: buildings, frescoes, the wonder of nature seen from this man-tamed rock balcony. The place becomes a pilgrimage destination, although built in a place that is difficult to reach and despite the curious fact that, not only has there never been news of Albert's beatification but that, indeed, there is not even confirmation of its actual existence."

    Last weekend I went in Slovenia for brown bear pho Last weekend I went in Slovenia for brown bear photography, something I planned to do for a long time. I spent over 6 hours closed in a wooden photohide, just waiting to snap a shot of a beautiful bear, or of a bear with cubs... And this is the result! 😂 No bears at all, just these beautiful mice! Wildlife photography is not how Instagram tells you, because... well... That's nature!!! If you are just looking for the safe shot better visiting a zoo! Of course a lot of disappointment, but I will try again at the end of summer, maybe when the weather is slightly cooler. Overall an amazing experience in the nature. . . . . . . . . . . . #animalphotos #animalphotography #animalsofinstagram #animalsultans  #discovertheworld #exclusive_animals #explore_wildlife #featured_wildlife #ignature #igscwildlife #live_love_wildlife  #marvelshots #marvelouz_animals #naturephotography #naturfotografie #natureisbeautiful #natureshooters #nature_hub #nature_perfection #naturepic #ourplanet #wildlife_inspired #wildlife_seekers #wildlife_shots #wildlifeperfection #wildlifephotos #wildlifephotography #mice #mouse

But you have to know where to look, and requires quite a technique, which I am still learning.

    Scuba diver in training! First I thought astrophot Scuba diver in training! First I thought astrophotography was difficult. Then it came macro photography. And now the biggest challenge of all, underwater photography! It is not just a matter of equipment (which by the way makes a significant difference), but mostly about being able to spot the target, level with it and take the shot. All things I still have to learn, a lot. This shot of a moray eel has been taken yesterday in Liguria, Italy, during one of the many dives I'll do this summer. My guide spotted the moray eel, in the rocks below us. But I struggled to get in position without moving too much sand ( as you can see in the shot), and I totally under exposed here. A rookie mistake, but all is about learning!!!
