This is Manarola, my favorite of all the Cinque Terre (5 lands) in Italy. I'm studying in Florence for four months. Missing the summer and ocean, I took a train and spent one day walking among the most beautiful landscapes with my girlfriend. Via del amore (path of love) and a beautiful sunset made this a magical place. One of my favorites on Earth.

This is a sunset photograph I took in September, 2011 on the Apache Trail on the outskirts of Phoenix, Arizona. It was one of those spontaneous moments where you see something beautiful and must capture it so that the beauty may live on forever.

The David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust is located in Nairobi, Kenya. This place is currently the home of Soilo, a female rhino that was orphaned due to poaching. This amazing creature shows how much she likes visitors by leaning against the wooden poles of her cage to let kids pat her on the sides. She is only locked for one hour a day for tourist visits.
