Fake Shark Attack Wetsuit
Have you ever thought that all the wetsuit looks the same?
Well Diddo, a dutch artist and designer has definitely put the word end to this lack of originality...
With custom inks and unique printing techniques, he has been able to map textures onto the suits to create original designs. Lookin his masterpiece, the "chewed-looking wetsuit", that simulate you've been attacked by an angry shark I must admit he has been really imaginative....
Try to imagine the panic spreading over a beach if a surfer with a wetsuit like this would rise slowly from the water walking toward the people...
There are other great designs, a rusted iron diving suit, the anatomic musculature suit and finally a whale shark patterned suit, my favourite one.

A storm with whirlwinds strikes Isola d'elba.

I was in Isola d'Elba for the wedding of my sister (finally a weekend not taking pictures of boats.. I thought) when during the night between saturday and sunday a really strong storm has stricken the Island. For less than an hour winds up to 100km/h, whirlwinds and heavy rain has unleashed their power: many boats sank and many other were scattered over the beaches. Sadly a skipper is still missing. On the following morning I went for a walk on the beach and this is what I saw: One big boat hurled against the rocks in front of a house, another one, even bigger, grounded some meters further. On the beach there were rubber dinghies everywhere, pieces of the boats and dead seabirds
UPDATE: after 36 hours in the rough seas the skipper has been found still alive at 23 nautical miles (42 km) from the point where he fell into the sea... that's surviving spirit!
