I'm back from my summer holidays. In ten days we wandered around the south of Corsica in search of secluded beaches, some famous some less. Every day there were no clouds in the sky and temperature of the sea was really comfy. The village of Bonifacio really impress me with its white limestone walls, the rest of the holiday was a full immersion of sea&sun! ;-)

bandana above his eyes.

This Sunday I'll leave for my summer holidays with my love and a couple of friends. Destination: Corsica. Approximately ten days looking for sun, sea and wandering around the various villages of the Île de Beauté. We hope to relax, have fun, eat some good food and make lots of photos. Happy Holidays to you all...if you are planning to leave! See you by the end of August!

Although the mountain trip lasted only a weekend, my dog Jasper did not lose the opportunity to roam free on the trails, enjoy some fresh weather and...dive into the first pool of water he has found...You could read the smile in his eyes! :-)

[...] He walked in with a salty sway
Lookin' like Blackbeard in his day
A brother in arms just like me
I was born a son of the sea
I can't be still, I can't be tied
The only time I feel alive is

When the wind fills my sail
Riding on a lifelong swell
Let my heart take me where it wants to go
That's the soul of a sailor, the soul of a sailor [...]

While dreaming about the sound of the sea and listening to this song,
take a look to the new photo of the month on my website. Enjoy!

Summer is definitely the season for open-air concerts, I really enjoy to attend many of them, especially because of their many photographic opportunities. This evening....hats off to the unique, inimitable, original Emilian Rocker, Ladies and Gentlemen, Mr. LITTLE TAVER, the most crazy criss-cross between Elvis, John Belushi and Little Tony, never appeared on the planet earth!

When I was little child I remember I had an illustrated book depicting the four very different seasons; on that book there was a picture for summer section that reminds me very much this photo I took few weeks ago during the harvest near my home. I think that this picture represents also very well this hot summer season. I would really like to find that book .... but, unfortunately, you are child only once...
