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...

sunny storm

As it happens in Ireland everyday in Ireland, the weather can change within minutes. When I arrived to Howth it was gorgeous, within minutes a storm came with rain and wind. After 2 minutes it was warm, calm and sunny again - showing the beauty of the port, village and a rainbow far away in the sea :)

spring

Spring has finally arrived to Ireland, probably not for long. So yesterday I decided to spare an hour from my studying and went for a walk to the local park in this gorgeous, sunny weather. Everything is now green, colourful and alive :)                                                               sometimes the biggest beauty is in details... ;)
