Hey dear friends: welcome to my last post of 2020!
Last night I went out around four o'clock with the intention of photographing the last full moon of 2020.
I thought: with so much light emitting from the full moon, it will be easy to get a sharp photo.... but what?
I tried every setting imaginable, but there was no way I could get a clear picture of the moon... and yet I could see it so well with the naked eye!
The photo looks like a strange flag of some terrorist group or satanic cult, doesn't it? 😂😂😂
There are two cases: either I'm a dweeb (unable to exploit the potential of my SLR) or my lens and/or CCD sensor are not working properly... what do you think, ? 🙄
Well, I made up for it by photographing the reflected lights on the Entella river... even if the photo is largely blurred, I like it... and that's what counts!

Well, after several useless attempts, I came back home to rest a bit, but I didn't get any sleep.
So at 6 a.m. I reached Sestri Levante (this time by car, to be quicker) with the intention of taking pictures in twilight.
I must say that, compared to the moon, even with reduced brightness the landscapes were quite successful... thanks also to the application of filters in post production! 😋
A few weeks ago I was struck by 's challenge to photograph narrow alleys...
... well, I haven't measured it and it's probably not as narrow as the alley she photographed in Altea, but it's still a nice alley overlooking the Mediterranean Sea, isn't it?
Leaving the Baia del Silenzio area, I took also some photos of the wider beach of Sestri Levante, facing the Tigullio Gulf...
Well, satisfied with the shots taken, and after having bought a cheese focaccia in the only bakery (and restaurant) open in the village, I decided to take a walk in the mountains, precisely near the village of Leivi, which is above Chiavari.
I was struck by this colourful little church... unfortunately it was closed and barred, so I could only admire it from the outside.
Who said that without sunlight photographs do not come out well?
I was enraptured by this view, so much so that I stopped the car in the middle of the road and took this photo on the fly using my mobile phone: not bad, right?
These low clouds filling the valleys reminded me of the sights I often admired during airline flights... could it be the desire to travel again? 😁
Finally, this splendid view of Chiavari from the hinterland: Liguria is really a marvellous region, which offers sea and mountains within walking distance... in the past I have come to Leivi several times while running!
And now we come to the recent challenge launched by Gabriella aka ...
's challenge...
Who will be this man in the middle of the sea, challenging the waves and the low temperatures of the morning?
He's a bit green... is he the incredible Hulk? 😂
No, come on... it's a statue in the middle of the Baia del Silenzio in Sestri Levante... pretty, isn't it?
The fact remains that I accepted the challenge to (at least) wet my feet in our wonderful Mediterranean Sea... do you want to do the same?
Look at the video "Proof Of Wet Feet..." 😁
Thank you for your time!
Any feedback from you is always very welcome!
If you glad, see you tomorrow? 🙏
A huge hug! 🤗
