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!

And black and white, because I’m sick of it. Honestly, I’m beginning to think my hands are never going to be warm again, and never have I been this jaded at the mere thought of literally swimming through heaps of the damn thing.

In unrelated news, I have a new vintage camera for my collection. Yay! I might take some beauty shots of it sometime.

Also, while I was at it, I figured I’d start a new mini-series – movie-themed, as I eventually made up my mind.
But enough chit-chat. Without further ado… Cinematography – Episode 1:

Of course, then it all went to hell when it occurred to me that project I kept postponing is due on Monday. As a lovely webcomic once stated – “We’re not normal people. We’re grad students” (or something along those lines). Oh well… I’ll at least leave *you* people with the Zen…

This was taken at Balea Lac (Lake Balea) in the Fagaras Mountains. After all of my parents’ backpacking stories involving it, I was actually quite excited to finally see it.

In the meantime, I’ll leave you with a pretty butterfly…

That having been said, I must now run along and make a mess of the fine art of packing. Cheers!

I’m amazed at how much of a difference in state of mind just one week can make, if spent in complete R&R. Anyway, I’m also back with a few new goodies. Here’s this week’s, titled Railroad Blues:

Seeing how the arithmetic of one car, five people, and luggage amounting to the approximate volume of one small apartment resulted in *someone* drawing the short straw and taking the train (obviously, departing at 5 AM), one would be inclined to approve of the “Blues” bit in the title. Good thing I love trains, though. And at least I have a pretty sunrise to show for it.

So maybe this once, it’ll just be the photo:

Apparently I’m continuing the black and white streak with another oldie from Bulgaria, reminding me just how much I miss the sea. Hell, how much I miss being on holiday… anywhere. Either way – boats on a break:

In other news (wow, a lot of “other news” lately), I’m seriously considering a major make-over, along with moving to WordPress, since Blogger is becoming quite limiting, so if anyone has any wisdom to impart in that area, don’t hesitate to hit the comments button. Oh, and thanks a bunch to whomever took the time to vote for my entry in the Photo Friday Challenge!
