This photo shows a sunset on the Adriatic sea, it was taken from a running train heading Trieste (in the North-East of Italy), and I love its hue homogeneity.

For publishing this picture I have before downloaded it from my digicamera, I have rotated the frame and I have cropped it. Nothing else graphics correction was applied to this photo.
And I love that too :D

In occasion of the asteroidal occultation of Rhodope over Regulus, on 19 Octorber 2005 (visible in a narrowed stripe along Europe), I shot this picture from Vibo Valentia (Calabria, Italy) of Lion costellation, with an exposure timing of 15 seconds:

Note that, although it was partially clouded, are visible all main Lion’s stars:

For a description of this astronomical event see “Occultazione asteroidale: Regulus vs. Rhodope” (in italian language), my article (with Costantino Sigismondi, in english) or the IOTA site.
