    Flight patterns over North America

    It’s been years that I was looking again for images I found and used on September 11, 2001.

    Vasile Botnaru, journalist and artist

    Basil, as he’s better known among his friends, is a journalist from Chisinau, Moldova. While his activities in this field are quite notable, Vasile Botnaru is also an artist I have been appreciating deeply for several years. I thought it was time to give his work some additional light.
