People are not perfect. Or at least I never met anyone perfect, either man or woman. I obviously include myself as well.

People are not perfect, but even so each person has a set of qualities. Some of them fade in time, e.g. physical beauty, while other remain or even improve during lifetime.

An interesting human quality is honesty. I’m not talking about the kind of honesty that restrains you from robbing a bank. That helps of course, but it’s not the one I mean.

The honesty I’m talking about (maybe it’s not the best choice of word in English) involves truthfullness and fairness, especially when relating to other persons. It’s about telling what you think and what you feel. About not pretending to be someone else or any better that you really are. About being, not appearing.

Truthfullness is the single quality I appreciate most in people, especially in a woman.

Sadly, this quality seems to be the scarcest on Earth. Yes, sadly. Definitely sadly.

After putting online a few (!!) pictures of the Iceland trip I received several comments from friends. The single picture that so far stirred most of the amazement is the following one, so I’m going to tell you more about the place, keep reading beneath it

First of all, thanks for telling me it’s a well taken shot… but in fact I didn’t take it We were a group of four, and this specific picture has been taken by a friend.

The place itself is the Námaskarð geothermal site, near Myvatn lake. There are several interesting sites around in the area lake, but today let me focus on Námaskarð. This hot spring areas features steaming jets and boiling sulphur pits. It has very active solfataras (sulphurous mud springs) and fumaroles (steam springs). Your nose will tell you that as soon as you approach the area. No vegetation whatsoever grows in this high temperature and acidic ground.

To give you a better idea, here are a few clips I’ve taken (yes, it’s been me this time! )
