From Elvira:
It isn't simple for me to choose my favourite photograph. I've got so many pictures, and everyone every/each one reminds me of different moments of my life. So, for this homework, I decided to select one of my last Summer travel holidays. This image was taken 2 months ago (in September 2014). It represents me with my friend Barbara. We are at the amazing island of Itaca, where - as the classical myth says - the Greek hero Ulisse  was born. We've just arrived at the port and we are going to visit the little town. You can see us in the foreground, a part of the ship behind us, and the landscape on the background. I like this picture because it describes our friendship, and it also communicates to me a real sense of freedom. Indeed, we are not in pose, we wear casual dresses, and above all we have a tender attitude. I love my friends and I'm keen on taking pictures with them! 


From Mauro:
I love this photo. It has been was taken three years ago in the desert of Marocco. I was there with around 20 friends for a yoga retreat. We spent three days in on a trip in the desert, with camels and some local guides.
On In the evening our guides prepared the tents and the dinner. That day I saw, sitting on the top of a dune, to an incredible sunset. Sky, clouds and wind, the red of the horizon, that changed in other colours moving the head to up. Orange, blue, dark blue where the stars started to bright... We spent two hours seeing watching that wonderful show of the nature, in silent silence. After that we had dinner and before sleeping I took some pictures around of: to the tent, to camels, to the night.
