Summer recap

Somehow, against many people's wishes, autumn is here again. But, not to be sad, summer has been good with us this year: sunny days - check, lots of swimming in the sea, near and far - check, traveling to new places or revisiting dear places, climbing hills, taking deep breaths, staring at the sun, lying in the grass, having drinks with friends, going hundreds meters underground or flying 8000 meters above it, getting as far away as possible from home and driving back to it, enjoying deserted Bucharest on crisp mornings and sometimes being lazy as a cat. All right summer, it's time to let go!

The view

Usually during summer, it is best to see this when you wake up from the afternoon nap. So now that I think about it, I cannot find a reason why this wouldn't work for me as well in the next days to come.

Glorious days...

...are coming. You can feel it in the air, as soon as small leaves pop like out of nowhere on those branches you look at every day.

Spiral

"My new Hypothesis: If we're built from Spirals while living in a giant Spiral, then is it possible that everything we put our hands to is infused with the Spiral?"

On walking in 2010

2009 meant traveling like there's no tomorrow, here and there and everywhere, but at the same time responsibly settling to a place i now call home. Shoes now carry happy memories being walked on so different places, and as blue was the new green in 2009, can't wait for my 2010 color obsessions. :-)

Things worth rushing home for...

...are these beauties, growing now on my balcony, catching the last rays of sun in the autumnal evenings. Who knows me might add I'm not a plant grower, because all my experiences so far have been more or less disastrous, but somehow these flowers managed to resist some very harsh conditions. :-) And sadly now, sun sets much too early in Bucharest's 25 degrees autumn, for me to enjoy them at the fullest.

The piano

What is there in life more to wish for? Some lovely moments when the surprise is being revealed, it hardly fits into a car, 80kg of it are carried on a spiral stairway, and then it's there, it's yours, in your room, in your face, like in your dreams, but this time you touch it and it's perfect. It's been 3 years precisely, but now it's real. Thank you D, for this incredible present on the rainiest day of May!

Remember 2008

Wow, 2008...that's what i call a year! Somewhere between crazy days, some let downs and great ups, new experiences and fresh starts, but hey, those are the reasons worth living for. I might just jump at a conclusion and say 2008 was the best year of it all. And my wishes for 2009...are just here, in those badly wrapped presents. :-)

Perfect individualism

What does it take to reveal every bit of difference one has in a group?


And what does one put up to when confronting "the others"?

About travelling

Stumbling upon a nice saying found out via Mazilique, Hemingway stated it's best to travel with people you love only. Thinking about it, i might say the ones you travel with become the ones you love. Because there's no great way to experience things than leaving your warm nest and life rythm for a while with friends or even people you have no acknowledge of. You just ask them to join you and your new adventure, and in between roads you fall in love with them, even with the ones that tend to annoy you on the way.
You'll never realise it sooner then thinking about it, long after the trip is over, and as my time to think about it came, i know i love all the people i've ever travelled with along my way, from long train trips to car sharing on the road to nowhere. Because they were there with me. I'm not a nomad though, should this be one explanation?

New Year's resolution

Hoping next year will be just as good as this one or even better, with nice surprises waiting around the corner, hoping to meeting new interesting people, but always keeping the old ones with me, hoping for dreams coming true and birth of new goals to achieve, and not least hoping for good concerts, new music, old music as food for the soul and visual playing on my blog.
But somehow, things happen, so here's me, just wishing for a new year.

Today is a special day

Due to the hot temperatures of today's summer day and the serious lack of photographing material (let's not mention dear Tori Amos and the much more rocking Rolling Stones that didn't allow me to make use of my camera lately), here is a note to self. Me, me, me!

Online now!

Hello! I've been very busy lately, so as not to say lazy and couldn't finish my photo website. So, this is my blog. Some works, pictures taken from my chaotic lifestyle between rush hours and long breaks. Not very urban, i hope.
