With a little bit delay and just to create some Christmas atmosphere, the shot above is the new photo of the month on my website, the last for 2009! It was taken at the recently visited Christmas market in Augsburg, Germany. Enjoy!

I'm back from my winter trip to Germany and Austria. It has been a journey traveling along famous Romantic Road, days were very busy, cinnamon, mulled wine and other species filled the air and I could really feel the Christmas atmosphere typical of those places.

Next Saturday I'll leave for a car trip to Austria and Germany with a couple of friends. We'll visit a part of the Romantic Road with its famous Christmas Markets and we'll reach the medieval town of Rothenburg. On the way back home I plan to stop somewhere in the Austrian mountains. Hope to have fun, make lots of shots and see some snow!

These gray days make me lazy and dull, what's better than a few macro shots in the garden? Every time I remain amazed at how much beauty we have under our eyes and we can see only a small part of it. Here you can find some new autumn snaps.

Autumn always had a special attraction for me. Everywhere you look you can see yellow, brown and orange colors and the many hues in between. All enhanced by the fog that where I live is always present. "Autumn abstract" is the new photo of the month on my website.

Since I was already teased a lot with the previous version, now Olympus has introduced the new EP2 and I'm so serious about the purchase. It's a minor but important upgrade with the addition of a port for a new high resolution electronic viewfinder, all that I felt as a lack in the previous version. Two new art filter and a new i-Enhance 'colour boosting' function complete what looks like a professional compact carry-around camera. Hope that January 2010 come soon! :-)
