Valerio Minato's photo that won the Astronomy Picture of the Day Contest by NASA on December 25th, 2023.

In the picture: the moon, the Monviso Mount and the Basilica of Superga (on the Superga hill) outside Turin are all aligned. it took him 6 years to take this shot (and I take it as an example to never give up on your dreams).

Are you looking for interesting and less crowded places to visit? Here are a few lesser-known travel destinations that you might want to consider visiting before they become mainstream:

1. Faroe Islands: A stunning archipelago known for its dramatic landscapes, rugged coastlines, and unique Nordic culture.

2. Bhutan: A remote Himalayan kingdom with breathtaking scenery, vibrant festivals, and a focus on Gross National Happiness.

3. Azores, Portugal: A group of lush volcanic islands in the Atlantic, offering beautiful hikes, hot springs, and untouched beauty.

4. Svalbard, Norway: A remote Arctic destination known for its polar bear sightings, stunning glaciers, and northern lights.

5. Matera, Italy: An ancient city famous for its cave dwellings and historical architecture, often referred to as "the second Bethlehem."

6. Palau: A Pacific island nation with crystal-clear waters, diverse marine life, and some of the world's best diving spots.

7. Gobi Desert, Mongolia: A vast desert offering unique landscapes, dinosaur fossils, and the chance to experience traditional nomadic culture.

Remember that even these hidden gems may become popular over time, so it's always a good idea to plan your visit sooner rather than later if you want to experience them before they gain widespread attention.

This photo was taken a while ago probably on my 2nd trip to Italy. When I was in the backseat of a car driving off the coast of Calabria, Italy. I looked out the window and thought to myself, “I've gotta take a pic.” Unfortunately, I have not had the pleasure of getting up close and personal with the Torre Crawford Tower in Calabria, Italy, but it’s the first thing I plan on doing on my next trip to Italy. This tower was originally built for coastal defense and is named after the writer Francis Marion Crawford who once owned the place and lived there to get away from the modernity of the 19th century and focus on his writing. However, before he settled down at this tower described by his sister as “inconveniently isolated,” Francis was a world traveler and learned several languages.

The Stabian Baths in the ancient city of Pompeii

The thermae were constructed around 125 BC. Hundred years later, the baths were connected to Pompeii's aquaduct. They were damaged in the earthquake of 62 AD.
