  • Mountains beetween Montenegro and Serbia. There are several arguments about the derivation of the name  "Montenegro", one of these relates to dark and deep forests  that once covered the Dinaric Alps, as it was possible to see them from the sea. <br />
Mostly mountainous with 672180 habitants on an area of 13812 Km², with a population density of  48 habitants/Km². <br />
It borders with Bosnia, Serbia, Croatia, Kosovo and Albania but  Montenegro has always been alien to the bloody political events that characterized Eastern Europe in recent decades. <br />
From 3 June 2006, breaking away from Serbia, Montenegro became an independent state. <br />
In the balance between economy devoted to sheep farming and a shy tourist, mostly coming from Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro looks to Europe with a largely unspoiled natural beauty. <br />
Several cities in Montenegro, as well as the park Durmitor, considered World Heritage by UNESCO but not yet officially because Montenegro has yet to ratify the World Heritage Convention of UNESCO.

  • Small towns like Majastre are isolated up in the mountains.  With no running water and no electricity, these towns live in greater poverty.  Honduras is considered the third poorest country in the Western Hemisphere (Haiti, Nicaragua). With over 50% of the population living below the poverty line and 28% unemployed, Hondurans frequently turn to illegal immigration as a solution to their desperate situation. The Department of Homeland Security has noted an 95% increase in illegal immigrants coming from Honduras between 2000 and 2009, the largest increase of any country.

  • DUR DURIS<br />
<br />
That day, the youngest of three brothers was the last to wake up. It was called Douro and awoke with a start, from a sleep that only do the rivers and, to date, only legends could witness. While the brothers Tejo and Guadiana, could quietly stream down the mountain, choosing softer land and plains, the Douro had to face the hard way, through the rocky canyons of northern Portugal.<br />
Today, these images take the same stony path, perhaps to prevent that the river falls asleep. The construction of large dams tamed the course of the Douro, but in the riverbanks, the legend continues to endure with the eternal confrontation and dialogue that carved the rock, the mountain and the man.<br />
Distant from the route of the river cruises where the water is just one more road, flat, between floodgates. I preferred to embark on a counter-current journey along the Douro and its tributaries (Támega, and Corgo).<br />
<br />
 Still life or artificial construction that with time became simple artifice. A journey in search of the humans transformed by the rock and a landscape petrified by the absence of local people.<br />
The course of the river is the only thread of this route without a guide, where the mirror-like waters may be merely a reflection of its inhabitants. Waking up late but waking up on time to track down this river that carved rocks and dilutes people in hard (Duris in Latin) water (Dur in Celtic). <br />

That day, the youngest of three brothers was the last to wake up. It was called Douro and awoke with a start, from a sleep that only do the rivers and, to date, only legends could witness. While the brothers Tejo and Guadiana, could quietly stream down the mountain, choosing softer land and plains, the Douro had to face the hard way, through the rocky canyons of northern Portugal.<br />
Today, these images take the same stony path, perhaps to prevent that the river falls asleep. The construction of large dams tamed the course of the Douro, but in the riverbanks, the legend continues to endure with the eternal confrontation and dialogue that carved the rock, the mountain and the man.<br />
Distant from the route of the river cruises where the water is just one more road, flat, between floodgates. I preferred to embark on a counter-current journey along the Douro and its tributaries (Támega, and Corgo).<br />
<br />
 Still life or artificial construction that with time became simple artifice. A journey in search of the humans transformed by the rock and a landscape petrified by the absence of local people.<br />
The course of the river is the only thread of this route without a guide, where the mirror-like waters may be merely a reflection of its inhabitants. Waking up late but waking up on time to track down this river that carved rocks and dilutes people in hard (Duris in Latin) water (Dur in Celtic). <br />

The Sultanate of Oman is a country in Southwest Asia. It borders the United Arab Emirates in the northwest, Saudi Arabia in the west, and Yemen in the southwest.<br />
The oil discovery, in the 60's, started to transform this asleep country. Today, Oman is  torn by modern roads, industrialized and rich ( Omanization ). The tradition still dominates life of the 2,5 million inhabitants: strong religion ( muslim ), traces of tribal loyalties and a very characteristic culture.

The event brings all of the villagers to mass conducted in the only school house on the mountain.  Honduras is considered the third poorest country in the Western Hemisphere (Haiti, Nicaragua). With over 50% of the population living below the poverty line and 28% unemployed, Hondurans frequently turn to illegal immigration as a solution to their desperate situation. The Department of Homeland Security has noted an 95% increase in illegal immigrants coming from Honduras between 2000 and 2009, the largest increase of any country.
