Markus....keine worte, unglaublich....danke!!
looking the "union-map" ("the map") and watching panoramas spinning (the
nature's work, the history's work, the human work ...and our job, of course...)
I can realize, again but more than ever.... we all really belong to the
same earth.
grazie ancora
Giancarlo
