Continuing in another blog...

My dear friends and followers...

For many reasons I've decided to stop using blogspot and I've moved to another website where I'll continue posting my pictures...

Thank you for all your support and I hope the new website makes everything easier for both you and me.

Table

Tallinn, Estonia, 2013
Tallinn inspired me and I took a lot of good pictures there. I cannot share them all because I have other good pictures from different places and I want to share them as well. I have to choose only a few, and that doesn't mean they are the best, but I like them.

Weird

Lille, France, 2013
Weird, because that's how I felt when I took this picture, that everything that was going on was weird... a friend told me not to explain what's going on in the pictures, so I'm gonna follow her advice and I'm not going to explain. Figure it out for yourselves and it'll be more interesting.

Intrigue

Riga, Latvia, 2013
I just love everything about this picture! This woman was simply standing in between the doors in one of the entrances of the famous market in Riga. I noticed her and quickly took my camera and shot without even looking since I couldn't stop, and thankfully I got her!

Tallinn

Tallinn, Estonia, 2013
Maybe this is a typical picture from Tallinn, maybe not, but it doesn't really matter, and what really matters is that I like this picture and I wanted to share it with everyone, so, enjoy! By the way, it was a magnificent sunset.

Tunnel

Kaunas, Lithuania, 2013
On the entrance of this tunnel for people to walk through, this guy was begging for money. It's impressive how almost every city I've seen in my life has people begging for money/food/shelter.

Sky

Tallinn, Estonia, 2013
The morning when we were leaving Tallinn to go to Helsinki, the day welcomed us with this spectacular cloud formation while going to take the ferry.

Swan

Mikołajki, Poland
I was amazed by Poland, really, it is a beautiful country, and I know I've said it before, but it's the truth. While kayaking on a river in the Mazury Park, we ran into many swan families, like this one, that mixed with the background made the perfect scene for a picture.
To you, because of you...

Wall

Riga, Latvia, 2013
A wall, a simple wall in the streets, full of ads and flyers attached to it, some gratifies and some art. If you just look at it, it might not have anything special but when there's people around, just doing whatever, it adds something, it adds life.

Bridge

Kaunas, Lithuania, 2013


Sometimes we are lucky, sometimes we are less lucky and sometimes we don't even realize that we are lucky! I was measuring the values for this picture and it took me some seconds, and exactly at the moment I wanted to take the picture, a bird passed and appeared in it. I wasn't asking for this and when I realized it happened, I felt I was lucky :)

Caffè

Paris, France, 2013
In Paris, typical bar where you can stop and eat, have a drink, get a coffee or simply read the paper. This woman was doing exactly that, getting a coffee and reading the paper. She has no idea I took a picture of her and actually not many people realize when I take pictures of them, maybe because I don't even look at them when I take a picture.

Scuba

Tallinn, Estonia, 2013
Close to the maritime museum in Tallinn there's a dock where we were walking and letting time pass in a wonderful afternoon. Then while walking I spotted this very weird scuba diving suit hanging in a container. I don't know if it was abandoned or what, but for sure it was weird.

Façade

Lille, France, 2013
I went to the north of France, exactly Lille. I was used to see some other kind of things in Poland, but going to France and Belgium kinda took me out of everything, since things were very different. The architecture in Lille was French mixed with Flaming so it was quite unique. I really liked these buildings and how they looked all together one right next to the other on a random Lille corner.

Fun

Toruń, Poland, 2013
I've said this before, but here it is again, I love kids and taking pictures of them, especially in the street since they are so natural and they are not thinking what people is thinking about them. Children street photography is quite challenging and I'm no expert, but the little times I've tried to do it, has been always hard, since their parents almost all the times are around and you might get into trouble for just one picture.

Binari

Lębork, Poland, 2013
In many cities you can actually go on the railway tracks and just walk, but I guess I'm not used to do it, since I always feel that you might get a fine or that a policeman would come and chase you to get you out of there. In Poland I didn't feel the same so I've been walking in some railways freely, like here in Lębork, where I took this picture in a lovely afternoon.

Robot

Gniezno, Poland, 2013
While walking in Gniezno, claimed to be the first capital of Poland, I encountered many particular people on the streets. This woman for example caught my eye so fast, maybe I don't need to explain so much the reason of it, I mean, just look at her. She was like a small, sad and angry robot, hence the title of the picture...

Silence!

Toruń, Poland, 2013
On my EVS mid term training, we went to see a play for children in the famous theater on Torun. There were a lot of kids, some accompanied by their parents, like this child with his/her mom. When the show was about to start the mother was simply asking her child to shut it :)

Pier

Gdynia, Poland, 2013
I've realized how much my photography has changed in the last years, especially in the last months. In Poland I started taking more "street photography" pictures, but still, my eye sometimes gets caught not by people, but by architecture or nature. I loved how lonely this pier looked in a cold monday morning in Gdynia.

Poczta Polska

Lublin, Poland, 2013
 I feel I want to share a lot of pictures with everyone, but not always have the time to do it. I took this picture on February and I'm finally sharing it. Maybe there's nothing especial about it, but I just like it :)

Observe


Łódź, Poland, 2013
I believe that photographers have a different way to see the world, of course it depends on what type of photography are they into, but for sure they see it differently. I don't consider myself a photographer but I do see things differently. When I'm walking on the streets I'm observing situations, people, attractive and curious places, etc, like these girls, that were observing something, but unfortunately I don't know what was it.

Waiting

Lębork, Poland, 2013
Waiting, waiting for a train to come and take you to some different place. Sometimes I wonder where do people go and what do they do, I mean, aren't you curious to know about what other people is doing with their life? Well, I do, I always wonder, especially when I take pictures of them...

city sunset

Łódź, Poland, 2013
In the forgotten city of Łódź, right in the middle of Poland, while walking with a very good company, I couldn't miss the impressive sunset, the lights and colors that were being drawn by the clouds in the sky. I had to stop in the middle of the street to grasp some of the scenario, since the buildings were blocking my view. This is just an example of how men and nature mix and live together.

Mur

Kraków, Poland, 2013
One of the most famous places in Krakow, the old city walls in the north of the old town, now it's being used to sell paints of almost whatever you can imagine. With the right light, a vague scene can always look particular.

Malbork

Malbork, Poland, 2013
In the north of Poland there's a spectacular medieval castle built by the Teutonic Knights in the 15th century. The castle is actually three castles nested and it's said to be impossible to trespass (well I don't believe this, but ok, at least not nowadays). I had the luck to be there on a wonderful sunny day but with a lot of snow around and over it.

Poland

Słowiński Park Narodowy, Poland
In the north of Poland there's an incredible national park called Słowiński Park Narodowy, it's known for the dunes in front of the baltic sea. I had the chance to go there when the winter was ending so I could see something very unusual for me, which is the snow over the sand. I was lucky to be there with a sunny weather although it wasn't hot, so the sea and the sky where clear and visible from far away.

Lonely

Bydgoszcz, Poland, 2013
I just had an early morning to walk around Bydgoszcz and there was absolutely no one on the streets, except for this guy that was walking with a sad pace and very slowly. I think he might have been drunk for the way he was walking. It was a lonely walker on a cold sunday morning.

Out

Lębork, Poland, 2013
I was very busy lately so I couldn't publish a picture, but here it is. When I was in the north of Poland traveling, I had a couple of hours to spare in Lębork, so I went out and started taking pictures, and I found out that these little cities sometimes can be more interesting than big and known cities when talking about photography. Of course, it depends on what type of photography are you in to.

I caught this guy walking out of these building complex and although you cannot see it clearly, he looked like a homeless guy...

Bike

Poznan, Poland, 2013
It was still cold in Poland, but not so cold, and I was so surprised when I saw this bike. I guess you can understand why! I wonder why the back-wheel wasn't full of ice like the front-wheel...

Podgórze

Kraków, Poland, 2013
I had the chance to discover a forgotten district in Kraków... Podgórze. Known especially for what it was used to be in the war. Now it seems like any other district in any other city, but of course, you can always feel in the air the sadness of it. Podgórze was were the Jewish ghetto was placed by the Nazis back in the war.

Penguin

Gdansk, Poland, 2013
Sometimes you're just walking on the street and you see these very particular people dressing in different ways or just being different and they automatically catch your eyes. Well, this is totally that case.

Brown

Gdansk, Poland, 2013
The weather was so good when we got to Gdansk! and the sun was shining even though it was freaking cold. Some warm colors were forming on the walls of the buildings and on the streets. I just love the scene in this particular one.

Monsters

Gdansk, Poland, 2013
While in Gdansk, we wanted to visit something different other than the very attractive center, so we decided to visit the shipyard. It was full of this incredibly huge cranes for the containers. Something that I've seen before in other places, but I never got so close as in here... it was quite impressive.

Flying

Gdansk, Poland, 2013
While in Gdansk, I was surprised of how many pigeons were in one of the squares of the city. Some people were trying to feed them (as usual) and at a certain point they just got scared and started flying around the area, I was fast enough to catch them with the beautiful background of the city.

Gotcha

Lębork, Poland, 2013
While traveling around Poland, which by the way, it's such an incredible place to visit and see, I started taking more pictures to people on the street than ever. I don't know why but they inspire me, so I'm doing more street photography. This guy noticed I was taking him a picture although I wasn't even looking at him and my camera was close to my leg... gotcha!

Taxi driver

Lviv, Ukraine, 2013
I really enjoyed taking pictures in Lviv, the city is very different from what I'm used to see so it was fun and interesting at the same time. Taxis in Ukraine are very cheap, we had the chance to get in a taxi and payed like 5 euros and we stayed in it for almost one hour...

Blue

Łódz, Poland
Many people visit Łódz and they say is not pretty, and maybe they're even right. But this city has something especial, something you cannot find in another place. It seems to be forgotten, forgotten by everyone, but at the same time is full of energy... if you like alternative cities, go to Łódz.

Books

Lviv, Ukraine, 2013
There was a small market of soviet books and antiquities in a square. It was snowing a lot so all of the things were white and covered with snow... people just didn't care and acted normally, I guess they're simply used to it.

Frozen

Lviv, Ukraine, 2013
Lviv was incredible, I really enjoyed going to Ukraine, but the cold was killing me! One day it was like minus 20 degrees centigrades!! So we had to walk around the city in this cold weather without complaining and sometimes we found these frozen cars parked in the street, which was interesting and gave a strange feeling to it.

Crossing

Lviv, Ukraine, 2013
This elder woman was trying to cross the street in a very bad moment. The street was busy with a lot of cars and buses and the floor was slippery so she was going very very slow... it took her some time to manage to cross, but she did it.

Stairs

Wrocław
We stayed in Wroclaw at a friend's flat in a very old building close to the center... these were the stairs to go up to the apartment. It's not uncommon to see these type of buildings in Poland, I guess that they don't care or maybe they just don't have the money to make it look better.
My personal opinion, I think it's more interesting and attractive like this.

Wrocław

Wrocław, Polska, 2012
This is Wrocław, a fantastic city in central-west Poland. The city is quite beautiful and some say it's similar to Krakow, but I don't think the same. Both cities are unique and they leave you something after you go: the will to go back! 

Sunday, February 17, 2013

Bohaterów

Kraków, Poland, 2012
Plac Bohaterów Ghetta means Square of Ghetto's Heroes in Polish. The old ghetto was in this area in war times and all the jews departing to different concentration camps were gathered here before getting on the trains. The chairs represent the objects many of them had to leave before departing.

Akkordion

Berlin, Germany, 2012
It's believed the accordeon was created by a German guy. I don't know if that's true or not, but that's the reason the title is Akkordion, a German word.
This guy was playing the accordeon in the park in front of Paris Platz in Berlin. No one was paying attention to him actually, which made me feel a bit bad since you got to love music!

Thursday, February 7, 2013

Spree

Berlin, Germany, 2012
Finally I went to Berlin, and I really liked it! The city has many things to see and do and it's quite big... I guess this is not the typical photo from Berlin that one would expect so that's why I like it!
Spree is the name of the river that flows through the city.

Pigeons

Krakow,  Poland, 2013
This is Podgórze, an interesting district in Kraków where the old Jewish ghetto used to be in WWII.
The church is St. Joseph church and it's quite impressive. This day was pretty cold and the square in front of the church was full of pigeons, I managed to take a picture while they were flying away...

Mourning

Krakow, Poland
In Kazimierz (the Jewish neighborhood in Krakow), there's a cemetery and Jews are going to mourn their dead. Let the picture tell you the rest.

Wednesday, January 23, 2013

Factory

Warszawa, Poland, 2012
There's a neighborhood in Warsaw called Praga, which is one of the few parts of the city, if not the only one, that actually survived the war... so the old buildings from before the war can still be seen (of course some of them are on decay). This picture is from an old factory complex where now is all like bars and exposition rooms for artists... quite interesting!

Just relaxed

Munich, Germany, 2012
This was my third trip to Munich and it was the second on 2012. This couple was in a square heading to Marienplatz just relaxing. I think there's not much to say about this picture. Just enjoy!

Sunday, January 13, 2013

Passage

Salzburg, Austria, 2012
Salzburg is such a fantastic city! I just loved it, although I noticed it was full of tourists, I think it's so worth to go and visit it. The days we were there we had the luck to be with such a good weather, so the sun created many crazy shadows and this passage in particular was very interesting.

Autumn colors

Warsawa, Poland, 2012
On the top of the public library, there's some kind of a botanical garden, very nice and romantic I would say. Since I was there in autumn, the colors where quite spectacular and the atmosphere was great. This guy was just following his child while he was having fun with all the plants and colors.

Nature

Marguereis, Italy, 2012
So my first post of the year! I promised I would retake my blog, so I'll be more active. Also because I have a bunch of pictures I would like to publish.
This is Marguereis, a natural park in Italy in the border with France in the north west part. The day was so beautiful and allowed me to take pictures of some impressive places like this! I hope you like it!
