It's a Kind of Magic

 One dream, one soul, one prize, 
one goal, one golden glance of what should be. 
It’s a kind of magic.
One flash of light that shows the way ...

Ptuj at Night

Ptuj is the oldest city in Slovenia. There is evidence that the area was settled in the Stone Age. In the Late Iron Age it was settled by Celts. By the 1st century BC, the settlement was controlled by Ancient Rome. In 69 AD, Vespasian was elected Roman Emperor by the Danubian legions in Ptuj, and the first written mention of the city of Ptuj is from the same year. The city of Poetovio was the base-camp of Legio XIII Gemina in Pannonia. The name originated in the times of Emperor Trajan, who granted the settlement city status and named it Colonia Ulpia Traiana Poetovio in 103.

It's Coffee Time!

Not so long ago I came across an interesting signboard 'Kavarna' in a nearby town and, since I'm a huge fan of coffee and 'kavarna' is the Slovene word for a café, I just couldn't resist to take a photo of it. The original colours were a bit harsh on the eyes, so a colleague has suggested to give it a try in the Pop Art Studio. As you can see it was fun!
