I’m not exactly what they call knowledgable when it comes to wine. But one doesn’t need to be to enjoy the contents of these dark inviting bottles. I really like wine shops. I think I might have posted a pic of this particular one in Bordeaux, full of the city’s world famous wines. I don’t think I did a particularly a great job focusing and making sure my camera is set right for this shot but I still do like the composition. I mean look at all the wine:P
So here’s my attempt at posting more often than my usual twice a week, on Tuesday and Friday. These days Vancouver has been generous enough to indulge us with a number of sunny days. It’s not beach sunny but still is a nice break before the winter comes knocking, with months of rain it always carries. But it’s not here yet so in the spirit of good weather here’s a warm little picture.
With all the protests going on around the world about economic and social inequality, and one to start soon here in Vancouver, my thoughts today were primarily taken up by this topic. So naturally, as I surfed through virtual folders to choose a pic to post I seemed to be mainly stopping by the pics of homeless or lets say less economically fortunate people.
This guy “occupied” the stairs leading up to the church, in Ljubljana, his disinterested expression and his fixed, almost glued together, frame suggests that he might have been sitting there for a while. I imagine slightly different mood will take place when people “occupy” Vancouver tomorrow.
The title is a little deceptive as it is nearly impossible to get lost in Bratislava’s tiny city centre. But if you do get lost this isn’t a bad spot to do so!
Selecting a picture to upload is becoming more challenging as I do want to share my new stuff but there’s just too much of the old pics I’ve never gotten a chance to share. Going at a rate of 2 pics/week is just too damn slow. So I’ll try to post more often but the upcoming exams might have a different view on this matter.
It was a hot day in Prague and what better way to cool down than jump into a nice cool swimming pool …….. which as you’ve guessed wasn’t an option, so I opted out for the next best thing: hideout in the shade accompanied by live music. Not too bad either:D
It’s funny how when one spends some time in one place it could become easy to lose some of the original fascination brought by the introduction. These canals in Bruges are amazing and it’s an absolute pleasure to walk along them or take a boat ride in. But after a significant time into a long walk the initial reaction of heartwarming astonishment and amazement could slowly turn into a “oh look it’s another canal”.
Looking at it in retrospect seems to always bring back the original awe. I guess it takes stepping away from something to regain the appreciation, be that physically or maybe mentally right there on the spot.
