South Wales Project

I'm well-travelled, but - some time ago - I decided to promote two countires that I love: Poland and Wales. Here are some photos from one of them. All were taken with my mobile phone.
If you like quality, view them here (+ a few more):

Well...

My sister can't stand this photo. She asked me to delete it from Facebook and I acquiesced (not my standard reaction). She says her daughter looks like a child from a horror film. I love it, though, and my niece's stare. Also, I've got her (my sister's) permission to post it on here and on Instagram, so I'm not being naughty.

A Few Freckles on Her Beautiful Nose

Perhaps completely unrelated to what you can see here is that I've recently started watching Black Mirror (I'm only saying this now because I just feel like it). It made me think about all the times I said 'You're only human!' to make someone feel better. 

From Our Walk Yesterday

It was all about tree climbing, talking to the horse we met, running through the meadow we know from last year and singing to the grass...

Ella and the Colour Red

So here's the portrait of Ella that I really like and a few words from a fascinating book on colours. And, yes, I love red.

Happy Easter to You

I absolutely love this photograph of Olivia, so I'm posting it here to complement my wishes.
May this year's Easter bring you love, joy and a lot of peace. Try to see good and beauty in every situation, surround yourself with lovely sounds, words and views, breathe them all in, and live.

Published Today

This is the picture of the horse I met some time ago during one my evening walks.
You can view it here (or here) in higher resolution. Also, it got selected for 'best of', so have a look:   http://www.vogue.it/photovogue/Portfolio/Archive/BestOf/ if you have nothing better to do.


I've been rereading Krishnamurti's  Freedom from the Known (I read this book when I was 19 and I can recall frantically underlining almost every sentence in it). I still think that it's a wonderful book and that the way he distinguishes joy from pleasure is just mind-blowing. Read it.
