The good news is I’m back with goodies. Yes, you read that correctly, Eurotrip 2.0, or more appropriately – Balkantrip. This time around, the route was Bucharest – Belgrade – Budva – Kotor – Dubrovnik – Split – Sarajevo – Ljubljana – Skocjan – Postojna – Bled – Budapest – Bucharest. In case you missed it and woefully regret it, you can take a peek at the original Eurotrip from last year. So without further ado, I’ll go ahead and start the series…

…with a 6 AM photo of Slovenian landscape, after an all night train ride. Talk about walking up at the right time.

In other joyous news, The World According To My Camera will hopefully resume its regular schedule as of right now. Cheers!

For an edifice of megalomania manifested in mall construction, I thought it had a pretty interesting glass roof.

In case anyone’s wondering, it’s Hungarian and it was written in a small notebook I found on one of my numerous recent antique expeditions. Seriously, antique fairs are just so beautiful!

Either way, this is the second installment in that Cinematography series I started ages ago and never got around to continuing…

What can I say, I love my city. At least it’ll hopefully look good after they’re done renovating it.

In other (joyous) news, ‘The World According To My Camera’ (not to mention the owner) is positively glowing with delight since Onexposure (which is probably the most awesome multi-artist online photography gallery around) published my first photo. Not only did this make that particular photo doubly significant to me, but I also couldn’t believe the feedback and warm welcome I got from both screeners and commentators alike. I definitely hope this to be only the first of several such events.
Cheers!

In case it’s not perfectly clear for everyone, that’s gingerbread… and oodles of it! Gosh, I can’t wait to dig into that Easter reserve…

Oh, and in other news – a change was in order. And I have one gingerbread bunny here for the first person to spot it. Let the games begin!

Luckily, it being light-contact, I didn’t get to witness any teeth flying about or anything along those lines, and I did get a few interesting photos. One of them was of this little guy, looking a bit nervous before his fight…

For the record, as I recall, he did win that one.
