Christmas lights on the Sirmione castle's tower

"So this is Christmas
And what have you done
Another year over
And a new one just begun..."

 from "Happy Xmas" by John Lennon e Yoko Ono

 

These are the Christmas lights on the entrance tower of the Sirmione Castle.

Emotions for fireworks

When I think to fireworks I imagine them like this one: explosions, sparkling colors, the black sky, and nothing more than your emotions.

I shot this firework at Riva del Garda during this summer; it's a wonderful location for spending holidays :-)

This have been the best fireworks show I've ever seen: 40 minutes of fireworks on the Garda lake. I took 665 photos, what a night! :-)

The arch and the door

A door in a tiny town, near the Garda Lake, Italy.

Sparkling white frost on autumnal leaf

Yesterday morning the sky was clear, it was very cold, and wen I got out of home I saw the fence totally covered by hoarfrost.

I toke about 140 shot, the morning sun shining over hoarfrost is always a nice spectacle :-)

The Tree, and the colors of autumn on the hills

Three years ago I was hanging around with my reflex, hunting for some interesting subject.
Near Salsomaggiore there's a nice road on the hillside, and if you are lucky enough to go to there at the right time, you'll be able to see some very beautiful landscapes with the sun going down between the hills.
 

That day I was in the process of testing my Sigma 17-70mm F2.8-4.5 DC Macro lens, just returned from customer service. This was a perfect situation to see how it can cope with hard lighting situation.
I love this shot, in the full resolution image you can count the leaves of the tree :-)
This shot was one of my first RAW image, and shooting in RAW definitely payed back: it wouldn't has been possible to craft an image like that from a JPG photo.
