Isola Di Ponza! - According to local legends, Ponza was named after Roman governor Pontius Pilate, the man who tried Jesus for heresy. So Max…I do not like the name of this island!On the other hand Jacques Cousteau and his son, Philippe Cousteau filmed several documentaries in this area. So as a former scuba diver and underwater photographer I would like to invite Courtenay for a diving trip to this island! Court do you hear????
…And finally my friend Max, you’ve done an exceptional job in capturing the beauty and the wonderful colors of this island! Fantastic composition and effects my friend!
