Color Riche

I've taken a few shots of a tree in front of our house. It was a gift of a good friend and was planted many years ago. Nobody in my family knows how it's called and I don't recall seeing it anywhere else. I remember that a neighbour said it's probably from India and that if you fall asleep under it you will sleep forever. Well, I did not dare to try. It's definitely my favourite – now, in winter time, it reminds me of a Christmas tree.

Luck, Luck & Luck in 2012

Wish you all the best in 2012! Love, luck and lots of sunshine in and outside of your hearts. I know I'm a bit late, but as usually my year has started with a nasty cold ...

Since in Feng Shui the elephant is a symbol of strength, power, virility, longevity, fidelity, dignity, intelligence and wisdom, I hope it'll bring us all good fortune and closer to our wishes and the people we love.

Natural Silk

A treasure of silver and gold in the middle of nowhere. Stunning.

Just a Shadow

Treat me like a prisoner,

treat me like a fool.

Treat me like a looser,

use me as a tool,

waste me till I'm hungry,

lose me in the cold.

Treat me like a criminal ...

just a shadow on the wall.

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.
