Dear Friends
on 16-17th July the Moon with a spectacular, Germany visible, partial Eclipse (see the images) celebrated the 50th anniversary of the 20th July 1969 human landing of Apollo 11. I remember perfectly that evening, 50 years ago. After dinner, unaware of the incoming event, a neighbor invited my mother and me to spend some hours of the warm July evening at the fresh nearby Porta Vescovo side gardens in my Verona. I was there by bycicle and while the two ladies sitting on a bench dialogated, I ran around the fountain with my bycicle so fast to be reprimanded by the people for my excessive velocity. Although I have forgotted the event, I ran back home fastly, arriving just in time to assist to the landing final phases. Few minutes more and I would have missed the event.

Dear Friends
black stone among thausends of grays. Moving ? Then, certainly not a stone. Black, yellow and white bands! Thus, Bombus terrestris. Not alone and in love as confirmed a close vision (see the images). A brief moment for fixing the meeting and leave to not perturbate them.

Dear Friends
it is longtime from my last presentations of sundials (see in this blog: Chiemsee, Augsburg, Moulay Ismail). This is because often they mask themselves in the the landscape and don't always want to be recognized. This was exactly the situation, yesterday, in Humboldtstrasse here in München, in waiting for a bus. But, strangely, the sundial jumped out from the landscape directly in my eyes. Configured as classic, its Sun, smiling but frowning, indicates the light as source of each day and its motion as source of time. Comments from your side are welcomed.
