a venezia : venice - the old grande dame of european cities. morbid, sinister, but equally noble and colourful. life in a lagoon is different, where buses are suddenly boats, and you need to go upstairs and downstairs all the time.

Nepal 2008/2009 : Pictures from my visits to Nepal in 2008 and 2009, all taken with a Nikon D50 with 18-200 lens or Tokina 12-24.
In 2008 I visited the Kathmandu valley, with Kathmandu, Patan and Bhaktapur. From there I went to Pokhara and did a 4 day trekking, not knowing what to expect. Well it was great and made me go back in 2009 for a longer 8 day trekking that also took me higher, up to 4000 meters. It is no luxury , instead rather primitive to western standards but the reward is stunning landscapes and meeting people from all over the world that have that same experience.

crete : crete: southernmost island in europe, and closest point between greece and egypt, which only lies a lybian sea apart. 
there is no island like crete elsewhere on the planet: rough but tender, welcoming but hard to access, with pleasing landscapes, ranging from lush green valleys and arid sunbaked coastlines to cold snowy mountains. 
european culture was born here, so was the egyptian one, allegedly. culture is alive, as is the will to embrace everything new. crete has withstood wars and earthquakes, raised fierce warriors and brave kings, and invented mysterious legends like the minotaurus and ariadne's thread. 
knossos, home to king minos and to one of the world's greatest high cultures, was destroyed some three thousand years ago, with the birth of the volcano that today is called santorin island, and which at that time sent a tsunami of nondescript force all across the aegean sea.
today, life is less mysterious, save for church life, and people are down-to-earth and long-living. most of the greek population older than 100 lives on crete, and claims its good health to excellent olive oil and healthy food, while midday siestas certainly play an important role as well. endemic plants and herbs can be found galore, and exist nowhere else on this planet, and in spring, when the island is suddenly all green and blossoming, scientists will come running from everywhere else in the hope to discover something new and exciting.
