the world through my eyes

Summer begins inside us

Summer is not a season, is a state of mind!

In the four months that the Earth’s revolution gives us,the world reborns and the nature awakes from the numbness of the previous year.
Today is the first day of summer, every year this time reminds me how beautiful life is.

Summer Inside Us

I saw this really huge field of sunflowers a few days ago and today I decided to stop and take a few photos, especially with my fish eye!

I wait for summer nine months and it lasts only three!
With a time like this i’d like to do too so much but there’s too little time available!

Mirabilandia skydiving, water parks, an afternoon at the waterfalls!
Perhaps in september i’ll be back for skydiving with some friends,if you are curious to see how was first time i did it,here’s the link: http://www.facebook.com/#!/video/video.php?v=410208724397&comments&set=t.1544592105&type=1   (we jumped from 4500 mt)

yellow all over

On days like today I’d rather be playing on the beach by the sea or swimming instead of sweating around for Emilia Romagna, but I see so many beautiful places that I sometimes forget the fatigue, or heat .. There are so many little things in everyday life we take for granted just because they are part of a routine,and it is sad how modern life aliens us all, so much that we forget the wonder of every day.

Before I decided to go in Australia,I wanted to buy two lenses, a 24-70 mm for capture the world at the best of my capacities, and a powerful macro, to photograph the world inside the world, the microcosm hidden under the macrocosm.
As soon as I’ll be able to buy them,it will be one of the first purchases I will do!

 

disciples of a careless sovereign

 

I am a sunflower,the sunflower is the metaphor of the life of each one of us.
We follow for an entire life the soft warmth of something ephemeral,being satisfied with a little daily caress.
But real life is now,and now,and now.I would like people understand it more.

 

Happy Solstice to all, the first day of summer can only be beautiful!


And here it begins!

Every story has a beginning, actually the beginning of a story is always the hardest part to write, you must make sure that the first two lines strike the reader without boring him, otherwise it’s difficult he will read the rest.

This blog is born a few months before one of the most important periods of my life, indeed at the end of September I will leave to another city with my girlfriend, 17000 km far from home, and we’ll be away (at least) for a year, working and studying over there.

And three weeks before that  ,I am leaving with 4 friends for the USA!
The stages are New York, Niagara Falls, Washington, Miami and Los Angeles, total duration 21 days, then once I return I’ll stay home for three weeks,then I leave for Sydney,where is more or less always summer, where there are breathtaking places and animals unique in the world,far from Fiji about 4 hours and almost the same from French Polynesia,quite close to Thailand and other beautiful places, the sixth country in the world with the highest power of ‘purchase, but also the only continent where lethal species is larger than non-lethal ones.

Starting from this two trips onwards i’ll try to share all my emotions,my felling and my daily thoughts,with any friend or stranger that will follow this blog,in the best way i’ll able to,from my eyes to yours,
photography after all serves this purpose.

Till next time, I wish you the best, because in this period of my life I’ve got it.

P.s:Stay tuned!
