Summer sunset in Åland
The last stage of our summer trip last July has been a ferryboat ride from Stockholm to Helsinki. We left Sweden at about 4pm and by sunset we arrived at the Åland islands. Not a single cloud. The colours were incredible. Dedicated to my Zia Antonietta.
32 snapshots from a trip by train across Europe
Today is my birthday and I wanted to make a present to myself by publishing 32 snapshots I took during the Inter Rail tip I did last July with my family. It is not true that Inter Rail can be done only when you are in your twenties Travelling by train again after a long time spent in Southeast Asia has been a bit like going back in time and re-discover how diverse, interesting, and full of surprises Europe is. Catching trains, booking […]
People in motion in the tube in Singapore
The tube in Singapore transports ca. 744 million passengers per year. That is about 2 million per day. I like sitting in the tube stations with my camera and watch the people walking in and out the trains, up and down with the escalators, pushing a pram, running to catch a train, pulling luggages and shopping bags. There is energy in the tube stations in Singapore.

‘All is Lost’ and its sense of purity
‘All is Lost’ is a brave movie.

I saw the poster of the movie in the London underground last December. Robert Redford battling rough sea and bad weather on a sailing boat. I thought that it may be one of those end of career […]
Quanti abitanti ha Jakarta?
Quanti abitanti ha Jakarta? C’è chi dice 10.000.000, forse 12.000.000. Altri dicono che se si considera la periferia che si estende a ovest, sud e ad est si arriva a 25.000.000. Ogni weekend 4 o 5.000.000 di abitanti lasciano la città per il weekend e raggiungono le zone di collina, dove la temperatura è un po’ più mite. La verità è che nessuno sa quante persone abitano qui. Molti arrivano ogni anno per trovare un […]
Amazing Gilis
On the north west tip to Lombok there are three tiny islands. Their name Gili, means ‘island’ in the local language. To distinguish them they have been called: Gili Air, Gili Meno, and Gili Trawangan. They are tiny. The largest island, Trawangan, has a circumference of just 7,5 km. There are no cars on the islands but small horse carts. There are many tourists and they put considerable pressure on them. I went for some […]
