A myriad of green
Sticking with hiking in the French Jura, we came across this abundance of lush, green vegetation. It reminded me of hiking in Canada or New Zealand. It looks similar, but feels different and most of all looks beautiful!
Introduction to the Jura
Last August I visited a friend in France. We don’t get to see eachother often, usually only during a charity event we both attend. I decided it was time to change that! Since she’d already visited me once a few years before, I decided it was my turn to visit her. So there I went,…
No Man’s Land
Hirst is an alcoholic upper-class litterateur who lives in a grand house presumed to be in Hampstead, with Foster and Briggs, respectively his purported amanuensis and man servant (or apparent bodyguard), who may be lovers.

Hello, hello! It’s been a little while since my last post. I’m so sorry about that. Don’t worry, I’m not going anywhere, nor am I going to apologise every time I post a bit later. 🙂 It’s just that this year was a bit of a roller coaster. In a good way, but a roller coaster…

Perfect irregularities
Here are some more photos from Castelo de São Jorge. I love all those gateways and huge walls. I especially love the old bricks and stones; when the lights hits them, you see all those perfect irregularities. So beautiful!
Poppy
One thing that I’m insipred by is photographing flowers. Especially colourful ones like poppies. I love how the red stands out like this!
And all that I can see is just a yellow lemon tree
First time for me to ever see a lemon tree in real life. It looks so vibrant with those bright yellow colours!
Fun with flags
For some reason I always try to get at least a few photos of the flag of the country I’m in when I travel. It took me a while to get a few good shots of this one. I mean, the wind helped and didn’t help 😛 I especially like the contrasts of colours: the bold…
