The tragedy in the lives of most of us

… is that we go through life walking down a high-walled lane with people of our own kind, the same economic situation, the same national background and education and religious outlook. And beyond those walls, all humanity lies, unknown and unseen, and untouched by our restricted and impoverished lives. — Florence Luscomb

Two days ago it was the third anniversary of my registration at WordPress. And during this time, I gained 1,501 followers.

I would like to thank everyone who follows me on my blog.

And only 12 more days to Lake Garda 🙂 I can’t wait anymore!

A ship in harbor is safe

but that is not what ships are built for. — John A. Shedd

Finally … June 14th I’m going to the Lake Garda. It will not be a holiday but more a trip but I’m already looking forward. A lot of water has gone under the bridge since I was on the Lake Garda and I strongly miss the Italian coffee. It’s still the best!

I live my life

… in widening circles that reach out across the world. I may not complete this last one but I will try. — Rainer Maria Rilke

Recently I’ve been changing my style of photography a little bit and this is because of Shutterstock. Unfortunately, the street photography is not sold on Shutterstock or you need too many permissions. The Candid Street photography is my favorite genre of street photography and it’s always interesting to shoot. The Candid Street Portrait must be a genuine photograph of the person’s expression that isn’t aware that is being observed.

The quality of life

… is in proportion, always, to the capacity for delight. The capacity for delight is the gift of paying attention. — Julia Cameron

The next holiday is already reserved … Paris Fashion Week in September. In all this time, I have never visited Paris during the Fashion Week. I hope I manage to photograph some fashion on the street 😀
Although Paris will no longer be the same. During my trip in Warsaw, Paris changed … the roof of the Cathedral of Notre-Dame de Paris was burned. Notre-Dame de Paris is one of my favorite spot in Paris especially during Blossom Season. I just hope they will soon restore it.

So logically follow photos of Paris 😉

Stuff your eyes with wonder

…he said, live as if you’d drop dead in ten seconds. See the world. It’s more fantastic than any dream made or paid for in factories. — Ray Bradbury

So I’m back from Warsaw. It was unique. This time I saw also the other part of the river Vistula Praga Północ. Praga Północ is definitely an unbelievable destination to check out. I definitely recommend it! Praga Północ is located in the central part of the city, is one of the oldest districts.
The area is full of old buildings, streets, graffiti. My main reason to visit was to take photos of street art and was not disappointed and was surprised with the architecture of the old buildings. A lot of history standing right in front of you definitely worth a visit even better if you love photography.
Almost since its beginnings, Praga Północ has been thought of as a not entirely safe district, full of alcoholics and an ideal place for illegal trade. But a district is safe that there is no need for police patrols 😉

More coming soon 😉

I want to stay as close to the edge

… as I can without going over. Out on the edge you see all kinds of things you can’t see from the center. — Kurt Vonnegut, Jr.

I’m already looking forward to Warsaw… only 10 more days. This time I won’t be staying in a hotel, but I booked an apartment on Airbnb.

This time I have only one goal … try Zupa ogórkowa. We don’t know Zupa ogórkowa in Slovenia, at least I wouldn’t know. The acquaintance told me that I would probably find it in Bar Mleczny. And I’m always open to new suggestions 😉

See you at the end of April 😀

You are never too old

to set another goal or to dream a new dream. — C.S. Lewis

Traveling

it gives you home in thousand strange places, then leaves you a stranger in your own land. – Ibn Battuta

Now it’s official. I’m returning to Warsaw on April 10th. This time I booked an apartment near Charlotte Menora. So I’ll have the best breakfast near. This time I need to see the other side of the Vistula River – Stara Praga and Praga-Północ. I’m so happy to see Warsaw again 😀
