2018. And now? Next!

Whomp, there it is, 2018, or “awesome-nice” as the number 18 in Slovenian sounds like (osemnajst). With the new year and my adorned heart that I wear on the windowsill comes the end on this blog. This one lasted only a bit over one year and a half, I guess those 20 photos per post…

Final Ljubljana report

This is how I spent the second part of my Slovenia vacations. I’ve showed you how day 1 was won, some doors, windows and wall scribbles from day 2, how I spent the first week with family and friends waiting for the sun, and all doors of one Saturday. Here are the last few days as…

Thursday Doors 2017

Even though this and next week there are no official Thursday Doors, right now I shall put together a gallery of door favourites from this year. The idea came from Judith at Beyond the Window Box as it did once before, for my Calendar. Even though this time I promised her only one post, I…

WPC: Calendar of favourites 2016

Even though I’m aware that I should be posting my favourites from the year that is ending, I shall use this opportunity and this post to complete my Calendar 2016 project. Throughout the year I have been posting selections of twelve (or more) photos for each separate month in 2016. You can find all posts…

Celebrating Supermarco

Must be tough to have your birthday on Christmas. Everybody keeps talking about that other guy. Yesterday, as you were driving me from my old Slovenia into my not-so-new-any-more Italy and the ride extended to almost 12 hours due to intense traffic between Florence and Rome, I said that the VIP Pearl Jam ticket is…

Thursday Doors, December 21 2017

All doors in a day. The day was this Saturday and the location Ljubljana marshes and surroundings. But first a little door story from yesterday. I found a huge shop selling only windows and doors. I entered it happily in the hope of finding some interesting ones. Immediately I saw that it was a mistake….

Merrily into winter

No matter how I’m more than ready for it to end, on Thursday the winter only just begins. Try not to think about that. The best thing one can do when it’s raining is to let it rain. – Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (reblogged from Nes Felicio Photography) Mal di Maremma is real. (As is mal d’Africa,…

Thursday Doors, December 14 2017

Not only doors today, also windows and walls, but freshly baked. LJ woman reports. Apart from the last door, which you saw in my previous post yet, all of these were taken yesterday after my dentist’s appointment which cost me one tooth, with my mouth numb, wrangling my umbrella, wiping snowflakes off the lens and…

Day won

Day one of days won over here. Only took eight photos today and posting five of them already. I like this percentage. I wonder if it will hold. Photo: © signature mmm

Home-hopping

Hail hail all who have homes, and countries, to hop between. Rolling over into Slovenia of origin tomorrow. Below are the three places in Slovenia that I can call home. Snow is supposed to greet us but it should warm up again. And then back to Rome for Christmas and home to Tuscany for New…

Thursday Doors, December 7 2017

To set the scene: It’s a hot July day in Rome, you take a shortcut to a newly discovered gelato place and they just keep coming. The place is my usual location when in Rome, Monteverde. I posted several shutters from around here already, but they seem to be never-ending. And when I took a…

December

Now that December has arrived, here is a look at the last month of the past year for the final part of my 2016 Calendar. Actually no, the very last act will come later this month as a finale of this blog when I shall choose only one photo from each month in order to…

Thursday Doors, November 30 2017

Today we return to Piran in Slovenia to have a look at some doors that may or may not come with people attached. First, one image with no people. Not yet. Imagine all the various doors in these tight little streets. And now a slow progression through pairs of doors with and without human company…

Horizontal basketball

Here is a proof that if you omit the verse, poetry ceases to exist. Or even better, everything is poetry already. You just need to write this way. I always find it funny when people say they don’t like poetry. What’s the matter, all that unused blank space bothering you? Yesterday I posted a poem…

To begin, begin.

A quick post to mark the date when I submitted my first anything to anything. To begin, begin. — William Wordsworth It has been on my mind for a while, to research all the millions of competitions, contests and the like, be it word or image-related. I’ve been saving links too. But I never did…
