The Old Town with its Stradun, its shops, churches, museums and restaurants is surely enjoyable, but I believe the tiny stairways are the true beauty of this part of the city, which are actually some sort of street.
These streets are very long and steep and they surely are breathtaking, both literally and not.
Did I mention they are really long? Mmmh, perhaps I did… Maybe I am just complaining because to get to my apartment it takes a lot of steps. Continue Reading
Yesterday, here in Dubrovnik, started the Dubrovnik Summer Festival: “a world famous annual event held in Dubrovnik. A rich program consisting of classical music, theatre performances and dance is performed at more than 70 open-air venues from 10th of July until 25th of August.” (source)
Due to the very high amount of people I didn’t manage to see most of the initial ceremony, started at 21.00, in square Pred lužom. Continue Reading
As promised here is an update with, finally, some pictures.
With today I would like to start posting pictures everyday; I know it could be a hard job, but who said it would be easy?
In each post I will also add a description, just to give the picture a clearer context. It is supposed to be some sort of photo-documentary of the places I go.
The posts will be shorter, but more frequent; hopefully my Internet connection will allow me to do so.
I start this project with my visit to the Ploče Gate (Vrata od Ploča), the Eastern entrance to the Old Town (Grad). It is very close to where I live and it is one of the two main entrances to the Grad.
In the past, the draw bridge was used to be pulled up at night to prevent the passage of ‘uninvited’ visitors. Continue Reading
Hello everyone,
as the title says, I’m in Dubrovnik. If you are wondering where it is, it is located in the deep south of Croatia; and if you are wondering where Croatia is, then I have bad news for you.
I arrived yesterday, after a very long trip by bus (approx. 15 hours), which passed through several cities (I will soon update this post with their names; UPDATE: The bus departed from Trieste and went through Rijeka, Zadar, Šibenik, Split, Makarska, Ploče and then Dubrovnik).
Dubrovnik is truly amazing and I’ve already found several good places for taking pictures. I’m also lucky I’ve found a very nice apartment right in the main area of the town, the Old Town. A very suggestive and busy place.
Right now I’m looking at an extremely blue sea, with a cloudless sky and light breeze. Kids` laughters, a mix of languages, the waves and my iPod creates a very improbable yet nice soundtrack for this moment.
Due to connectivity issues, I am not able to upload pictures as per now, but I’ll try my best tomorrow.
UPDATE2: even today I won’t be able to upload any picture, but today or tomorrow I will cut out some time to take some other pictures and post them here!
Bye for now.
I’ll update you as soon as possible.
Nesh
Hello everyone!
Last month I had the chance to visit Copenhagen (Denmark), a city I liked, even though I kind of expected something more from it; it could have just been the bad weather, I don’t know.
Streets of Copenhagen
Hejhej!
How is it going over there? Here, as you can see from the enlightening title, it is cloudy today; not really a big deal, but I am probably out of imagination, so lets keep it in that way.
It has been quite a long time I don’t stop by and write something here. I could invent stories on how I was so busy and I couldn’t update it, but I believe the main reason is that this blog goes parallel with my photography and since in these last months, due mainly to the almost permanent presence of ice on the streets of Gothenburg, I did not carry my camera around, I did not take picture either.
I will try to have it with me more often from now on.
Anyway, about me.
Life is going fine, went through many happy and sad moments but life goes on, and so do I.
I finally got a job and even though that occupies quite a lot of my former-spare time, I like the job and it gives me more stability, money-wise.
University proceeds normally, still nothing very interesting so far.
The project, a picture everyday, is almost at its 2nd year, and I am considering about making a video or something out of it.
The main issue is that during these 2 years I have changed camera and also changed version of LightRoom. It would not be a problem if I had planned a little bit more carefully.
Now I find myself ordering the first year of pictures = not funny. But I will do it, and probably today! {Update: done, it was not THAT bad at the end}
Anyway here are some pictures, yes I have taken few pictures during these months, of Gothenburg. Nothing special, but still better than nothing.
Hello,
I’m back and finally I found the chance to put myself here to update the blog a little.
This week has been quite not interesting, due to the weather and to the fact that my team and I took a week of vacation from the school project, I have not done much.
In fact lately here in Göteborg it has been raining and, sometimes, snowing quite a lot. With the omnipresent wind helping out, going out, even to just catch a bus, is a though adventure.
About me: I am quite good physically, even if emotionally is a whole another story.
Last week I finally started searching for information about a trip I’ve longed to plan and, of course, to do: go to see the Northern Lights (For whom who are not aware of them, or simply do not know what they are: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aurora_(astronomy)). They are also called Aurora, and since we are in the northern hemisphere they are called ‘Aurora Borealis’ (from Greek).

Hello guys,
yes yes, I know.. butterflies have nothing to do with burgers and even less if they are monster burgers.
But I wanted to put together these two different subjects and post them into the same post (repetition).
I will start with the Butterflies, way healthier than the monster burgers.
Yesterday I have been amazed by a gorgeous butterfly flying around my small, but still, awesome garden:

Hey guys,
so? Did you try this thing out? If so, how did it go?
I tried it, and I really enjoyed it. It was like ‘Bring your camera at work day’, instead of a child. Yes, because I had to work that day. I was planning to go somewhere really awesome and special, and then I ended doing overtime on saturday.. Really bad. But at least I really filmed what I usually do during my normal days, here in Canada.
I will upload my videos soon, maybe tomorrow, today it seems to be really crowded and slow the upload page.

Hello,
how are you guys?
This is going to be a long post, since I had less time than expected I am going to fill various articles all together.
As I announced in a previous post, yesterday I went to Mt.Tremblant (Quebec – Canada). I went there with some friends; we’ve kayaked on the Lac-Monroe and then went to the International Blues Festival in Mt. Tremblant Village.
Where we went kayaking was simply awesome; it really reminded me some places in World of Warcraft (I played that game soo much, that now every place reminds me a zone in that game).
Obviously I did not take any pictures while kayaking, I did not want to risk to ruin my brand-new camera.
Here is some shots of the area:
[Amazing landscape, we have kayaked on this lake. Imagine the feeling you have while being there, alone with you, a very close friend and water.]
