In the spirit of drawing things to a close on this blog, here is the final selection of images for my Calendar 2017. Okay, two. As you could see and take a peek at my new blog yesterday, with the new year this one is about … Continue reading Complete Calendar 2017

October 2017

· 26 Comments ·

Before this month is done, here is last year’s October in twenty images. Greetings from Rome where we had a bit of Armageddon last night, with a hail storm, flash floods and general chaos. Luckily we stayed home and didn’t know about any of that, … Continue reading October 2017

Let’s start with two photos from the Okarina Festival in Bled.
We went to two concerts. These are from the night with Vieux Farka Touré from Mali.
This is what I call well-lit. The National and University Library in Ljubljana.
Piran is constantly well-lit at dusk with competing colours.
Our garden in Ljubljana happy in the rain after a drought. The autumn was coming.
The colours of Ljubljana centre: the Ljubljanica river and the pink church.
I’ve posted this Ljubljana building already but it’s a favourite. Vurnik House, Miklošičeva St.
Two Ljubljana window beauties.
I love this burst of colour.
Lokev Primary School.
A friend in the assortment of oranges.
I often wonder if Piran households get laundry hanging colour code instructions.
Mom’s gifted cousin gifted us (and painted) this painting
The sea in Piran is not always such colour. I think it was after a cooling-down since almost nobody was swimming.
And this was after a downpour. Mom and Piran wear matching outfits.
Socerb Castle, father and cheerful vehicles.
August: Muha Restaurant in Lokev, Slovenia.
Colourful Lokev church that the priest (on the left) opened for us to view.
August: The colours of the past: Fabiani Museum Shop in Lokev with curator Miro.
The return to the Italian colour palette: Porto Ercole. Soon.

Another August is going with the wind and with it my last chance to post last year’s August photos for my 2017 Calendar.  My blog is full of colours at any given time. That’s why I was happy when I saw the theme of this … Continue reading Lens-Artists PC: Colours of August 2017

Let’s see what all can get twisted. In some cases it’s more literal, such as here. A school bus that walks in Rome.
Some vegetables are more twisted than others.
A twisted Porto Ercole harbour scene.
This scene looks like a twister was here.
Man makes it straight, nature makes it twisted.
Man can make it twisted too, or better, rounded. What are those figures up to? (San Bruzio monastery ruins)
Why are these naked children or angels carrying so much?
A twisted tailed women fountain in Tuscania.
She doesn’t seem all that happy.
This one is more relaxed, even though her spine is twisted.
May: Another Tuscania twisted statue. Is it an egret?
Bestia is a twisted bundle of joy.
Tongue and tail twister.
I might consufe “rounded” and “twisted”. Tuscania.
To Orvieto now. St Patrick’s Well first on a photo…
…and then for real. A double helix staircase leads down and up.
The small well next to the big well: Twist his nose and drink.
The view of Orvieto Scalo from the well: One track twists to allow for the trains to stop, while the fast trains can rush by on the other.
On the last day of last May: It’s twisted how yellow it was already! This year is completely different, nice and green.
May: A proper bowl twister: amore making carbonara.

WPC: Simple twists of May 2017

In a simple twist of fate, the WordPress Weekly Photo Challenge is coming to an end. The last theme will be posted this Wednesday. In another, I felt an emptiness inside to which I just could not relate. Not only have I been an (almost) … Continue reading WPC: Simple twists of May 2017

February: Amazed every time I visit it. Giardino dei tarocchi by Niki de Saint Phalle, southern Tuscany.
Niki’s presentation of The Strength tarot card.
Four squirting women and every pillar is different.
Bottom line is love.
From the garden to the sea.
A dove. I hope it’s not mourning.
February: Two friends who never get to meet. Capalbio Scalo.
Better this way.
The pots were rearranged soon after and now I wish to show them how it was better.
Still trying to decipher this tree. I love its balls!
Cocktail sunset.
I look at my little point-and-shoot and this photo and it doesn’t compute. Not good enough for flamingos but good enough for this?

Now that February is here, let’s look at last year’s, as is my habit. I have only four photo folders for this month. February is short and it’s not yet as comfortable to stroll around due to cold winds. All photos were taken in my … Continue reading February 2017

January 2017

The quintessential moment. An existential crisis. I’m going straight to hell. No, not because I’ve chosen twelve apostles – 12 photos – to represent January 2017 in my new calendar, and forsaken all the remaining images dear to my heart that by now must be … Continue reading January 2017
