Famous Bordeaux Wines

Every time I write these I just want to start by “I had a great time in this wonderful city”. But this time I might just say it:) Some of my best memories are associated with this great city. A friend of mine lived in this city for years and has invited me along with few other friends for a little road trip along the west coast of France. And Bordeaux is in my mind one of its most beautiful cities. Of course you can’t mention Bordeaux without mentioning its world famous wines. This particular shop was very high end. The wines were very expensive and I tried my best not to accidentally tip a bottle or 2:) The first bottle could buy me an awesome lens!!

Lonely Piano

An original piece of decoration to put in the middle of the city centre plaza. I thought it was pretty cool. Sadly, as far as I remember, this wasn’t a real piano, so it was bound to remain lonely.

Someone’s Happy Day

Walking around european cities I’ve come across quite a few weddings. I never think much of them and am not too interested in taking a picture. This is one of the few I did take. This particular couple was very hard to miss as they walked around with a lot of people and cameras around them. So blending in was no trouble at all:)

Shipbuilding in Copenhagen

This picture didn’t quite turn out how I wanted it too. It’s very tempting to re-edit it and change and fix a few things but I decided to post it as it is. I still think it’s an ok pic. I don’t think I’ve ever seen shipbuilding with my own eyes before. The fact that it’s in the centre of Copenhagen in front of these colourful building makes it that much cooler.

Auschwitz

Auschwitz was originally built for political prisoners so it doesn’t look as depressing as Birkenau, another big camp close to it. But it still is a very sad place. There were a few people on the guided tour who couldn’t hold their tears and from what I’ve heard and seen it’s a common sight around these buildings. Some of my friends visited the camp in winter when it was full of snow and apparently it gives for even a more depressing environment. It’s hard to imagine how people were forced to live in dreadful conditions throughout harsh polish winters.
