Man does not simply exist

but always decides what his existence will be, what he will become in the next moment. — Viktor Frankl

Learn to detach

Don’t cling to things, because everything is impermanent . . . But detachment doesn’t mean you don’t let the experience penetrate you. On the contrary, you let it penetrate fully. — Mitch Albom

A lot of people

Today, a little differently … studio portraits from a photographic show in Ljubljana. The models are Barbara and Kaja.

The secret to change

… is to focus all of your energy, not on fighting the old, but on building the new. — Socrates

I’m finally back from the Guard Lake. It was nice to visit Italy again. I’ll definitely be back for a long time. These are the first photos from my phone.

When all’s said and done

From November to July … it’s so hot here. These are the latest photos from Ljubljana. And just to cheer me on… Lake Garda D-5 and Paris D-110 😀

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!

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 😉
