Introduction

My photo
Ragusa, Sicily, Italy
I was born in Deva, Romania, on 14 January 1978. In 2000 I graduated the Faculty of European Studies within "Babes-Bolyai" University in Cluj-Napoca, Romania. Since 2003 I started to work in tourism and had the chance to travel and live in Egypt and Arab Emirates for more than 6 years. Egypt will remain the dearest place to me, it's beauty is authentic and sacred, while the warmth of people has no match. At the end of 2010 I made it to Sicily and I just love the place. It is true, "without seeing Sicily, it is not possible to make a full idea of Italy. Sicily is the key to everything", as Goethe said in his Italian Journey, 1788. My passion for photography grew in time and now I find it the best way to express my emotions. Thank you for sparing some of your time to visit my blogs.

Hava Nagila



I just discovered Hava Nagila, the version of Iosef Kobzon, the Russian legend. The orchestration and the effect of the choir is fantastic!

Another very good version is the one of Rika Zarai, from 1966.



I just love this song! Maybe because it has some far influences from my romanian folklor. It is said that the motif of the song and the dance afferent to it originates in Bukovina, which was in the past part of the Great Romania. The rithm and the dance style is called "hora". Anyways, the joy transmited in this song is obvious, it is really lifting the spirit up. Enjoy it!

UFO picture was resized



I have managed to resize the picture with a good tool called Enlarger PRO. It is though a trial version. The UFO appears slightly clearer here, I invite you to have a look.

UFO on the highway Catania - Palermo

It was 23 November 2010. We were driving on the highway from Catania to Palermo. At a certain time, we have stopped at a benzine station to rest a little. I got down of the car and started to take photos around. I was very happy because in front of me there was a great mountain and the landscape was absolutely breathtaking. I took three consecutive photos of the mountain and then I changed direction an took three photos of the suroundings, then went back to the mountain and took the final three consecutive shots. All in all, it took around 2/3 minutes, I calculated a maximum of 20 seconds for each photo. Normally I take my photos very fast.

Nothing appeared strange to me in those moments. I didn't see absolutely anything on the sky, it was clear. The big surprise came after two days, when I downloaded the photos. In the third photo taken at the begining, I saw a spot. I thought "how come, I didn't see anything on the sky when I took the photo". I zoomed in and to my surprise it was clear that it was not a spot, but a flying object. I opened the foto with Microsoft Office Picture Manager and I croped a little the photo to focus it on the object, then I increased the contrast at a maximum and decreased the midtones to a minimum. The result was astounding.


As you can see, it is visible, very visible and does not look anything similar to an airplane, or baloon... it rather looks like a cap!



I let you guys judge what on Earth is that (or maybe it is not from Earth at all!)

Anyways, I was very intrigued, so I contacted MUFON, the international organization who investigates such cases. My case can be found at this link below: http://www.mufon.com/mufonreports.html
