WIDEANGLE CRAZY

Since I have my Canon 5D Mark II with full sensor format, I do love the fact that I can use my wideangle 17mm. So here some cool pictures taken in Bellinzona and Lugano in June this year.

LA DIVINA COMMEDIA as food!

In May this year, during my visit to my mother I was invited for a very special lunch at the Hotel Defanti in Lavorgo http://www.defanti.ch/ . The owner Sandra is a very special woman. She arranges food festivities around the year with a special theme. By the time I was there the gastronomic week was dedicated to Dante Alighieri's Divina Commedia.

The owner Sandra Defanti.

The food was prepared like the main parts of the Divina Commedia.

Inferno, Purgatorio, Paradiso. Here some of the marvellous dishes we got.

FFS - FERROVIE FEDERALI SVIZZERE

The good old swiss trains...reliable, in time, and for all the train lovers and collectors, who does not remember Märklin the famous brand of small trains.

But here we go, I got you a original SWISS train just for you and STOP don't touch it. We don't know how long we are going to see them before, what do I know, ufos, planes and other ultra modern stuff take over.

And if you never went with the train then you have to train it in Switzerland of course, up and down from the alps, enjoying the small villages and the cities passing by. It's really worth a try!
