Nemos Garden
a few detailed photos I took June 2022 at Nemo's Garden, an experimental underwater farming project in Noli, Italy. The project was founded in 2012 by Sergio Gamberini and his team to develop a sustainable and innovative way of growing crops. Air-filled biospheres are placed underwater, where plants are grown using hydroponic techniques. These biospheres are anchored to the seafloor and powered by solar energy, which runs the pumps and sensors necessary for the plants to thrive. Nemo's Garden has successfully grown various crops, including basil, lettuce, and strawberries, and has attracted attention for its potential to address food shortages and climate change. The project has always fascinated me, and as always also grateful for the opportunity to meet exciting people like Emilio Mancuso who take care of the garden on site.

Patris
The Patris was a paddle steamer that operated between the Greek islands, carrying passengers and goods. At the time of its construction, it was considered one of the most advanced and modern ships of its time. However, on February 23, 1868, tragedy struck when the Patris ran aground near Kea Island while en route from Piraeus to the island of Syros. Despite efforts to save the ship, it eventually sank, claiming the lives of hundreds of people.
The sinking of the Patris was a significant event in Greek maritime history and drew attention to the importance of safety measures in sea travel. The wreckage of the ship still remains on the seabed and serves as a reminder of the dangers of maritime transportation.
