Golden Autumn

Currently nature is changing its colours. The mornings are becoming colder and crisp... it's also quite windy... welcome to Ireland! :) Golden colourful leaves chestnuts and berries are all signs of the not very liked season :) For me it's a perfect time to sit under several blankets (because one isn't enough) and drink a hot cup of tea or a rich indulgent hot chocolate, but also to enjoy the beautiful vibrant colours and here are just some examples of natures extraordinary changes at this time of year :)

Warsaw

I've recently visited Warsaw. It has been 13 years since I've last visited! A lot has changed, it has developed and it's chasing the biggest European cities in its standards. I love the contrast, when the new meets the old. It's an inspiring place with variety of architecture, portraying the history of Warsaw and Poland.                                              The Royal Castle in between the narrow streets                                                                          Old Town Market Place with the symbol of Warsaw - Mermaid Beautiful entrance to one of the restaurants in Old Town Market Place        Mały powstaniec - Little Inser...

Poppies

From my childhood memories the two symbols of summer are poppies and cornflowers. Their contrasting colours and shapes look incredible together.   The gorgeous sunsets also mark the hot season and highlight the beautiful landscape.  Nature is just amazing, have a look! :)  green on green... grasshopper  ladybird :)

Ojcowski Park

After visiting Wieliczka salt mine, we had a walk around Wieliczka town itself and then we went to Ojcowski Park. We had a long walk through the forest and walked around a little touristic area full of restaurants and adorable, wooden houses surrounded by natures beauty. Nature is amazing and it's time to begin appreciating and respecting it, because losing such a wonderful gift with spectacular views would be a crime.  Town of Wieliczka Ojcowski Park

Krakow

Krakow is an incredible city with astonishing architecture. The salt mine of Wieliczka was what I found most fascinating about this city. I've recently visited it and have few photos today of this stunning place where everything is sculpted out of salt with a touch of wooden elements! These are a few scenes sculpted and built to show how salt was mined hundreds of years ago in Wieliczka, as well as, many religious elements such as the incredible chapel of St. Kinga in which the amazing crystal chandeliers were captured :) Walls covered in salt all around the tourist routes Chandeliers from bottom perspective from St. Kinga chapel

June Fest

June Fest in my town is approaching so the local park has been "dressed up" in knitted decorations. The cooperation of the community, for a day for families to enjoy, is great :) Looking at the decorations we can see how much work was put in, particularly that I only captured a fraction of all the pieces. You must admit, they're cute and impressive ;)

Gorse

Gorse is a wildflower widely present in Ireland during spring and summer, making the landscape look magical. It covers whole cliffs beside Howth, from which views of the Irish Sea are inescapable. The vivid colour of the shrub was even more exposed by the sunny clear blue sky, resulting in the gorgeous perspective...
