Shot less serious!

"He may look like an idiot and talk like an idiot but don't let that fool you. He really is an idiot." This sentence from the great Groucho Marx describes me quite well. My name is Giulio, i was born in 1987 and i'm the greatest genius known to the mankind. Or a complete idiot... who knows!! I have a "Bachelor's degree" (i've just discovered the meaning of the world Bachelor!! yuppy! In Italy we call it "Short degree") in Viticulture and Oenology, and at the moment i'm working for a wine making estate near Siena, Tuscany. I have a great passion for photography, science (Carl Sagan is my personal hero), history, motorbikes, nature and of course wine! The passion for photography is quite a new one, developed with my childhood friend Duccio (http://ducciofiorini.tumblr.com/). I Studied on websites and books, especially those from National Geographic. I'm a real beginner, or NOOB, but i love taking shot and, most important, having fun doing it. That's the reason for the "less serious"... My priority is FUN! In this blog i will going to post not only my shots, but everything that goes through my mind.. (the credit for my actual profile shot goes to Duccio and his girlfriend Chiara)

The crew of the ISS snapped this shot of Atlantis re-entering the atmosphere this morning. 

(via Space.com)

Amazing shot. It's so sad to think that the shuttle will never fly again. Humanity must not give up, space program and the ISS is the perfect example of what we can achieve with COOPERATION.

Enemies on earth are friends in space. Space exploration gives us hope (and produce adanced and amazing technology too :D !).

As Carl Sagan said: "WE ARE ONE PLANET!"
