Continuing with my travelogue abut the Scottish Highlands. On the same day we tried (and failed) to photograph a glorious sunrise at Kilchurn Castle, we drove a long circle around the Western Highlands: from Kilchurn to Tyndrum, then up the A82 to Glen Coe and then back down along the coast of Loch Linnhe, towards Oban. We also took a …
by Massimiliano Cremascoli Greece is an outstanding array of more than three thousands islands. There are six major archipelagos: the Ionian Islands, the Argo-Saronic Islands, the Sporades, the North-East Aegean Islands, the Cyclades and the Dodecanese. Having travelled throughout most of them, I consider the latter two as the most appealing thanks to the harmony between landscape and architecture and …
On my latest trip to the Scottish Highlands, I had made a long list of locations I wanted to photograph. Amongst the unmissable ones I had placed Kilchurn Castle, an ancient ruined keep that lies on a peninsula jutting into Loch Awe.

Apulia (Puglia in Italian) is Italy’s southeasternmost region, corresponding to the heel of the boot that the Italian peninsula resembles, and it’s a region of amazing beauty and traditions. For some unfathomable reason, I had only been there as a teenager, then only in its capital city, Bari, in a couple occasions when I was traveling for work and I …
Matera might not be the first place that comes to mind when one thinks of Italy, but in my opinion it shouldn’t be overlooked when doing a tour of its southern part, because it is stunning and absolutely unique. To begin with, Matera is one of the oldest, continuously inhabited settlements in the world, having been called home by people …
Before visiting Singapore, I had this picture in my mind of a modern, very orderly and clean city, like a small Switzerland at the equator. I also came prepared to see and photograph some stunning futuristic architecture. Of course, Singapore is all of that but, as I discovered, it is also much more. For a start, it is home to …
