It has been six months since I started taking part in Cardinal’s changing seasons photo challenge. This time of year Maksimir (the oldest and nicest park in Zagreb) receives the most visits from its citizens and tourists alike. If you have a look at previous posts about Maksimir, you’ll hardly recognise it, still there are two buildings that I tend to show each month…
Linked to the weekly photo challenge: on the way.
This Sunday you are invited to post a mirror image for Black and White photo challenge. I chose a landscape photo for this occasion, but you can do as my friend Lignum Draco did and post a photo of a human reflection, or landscape with a human figure in it, or you will, as I hope, come up with something entirely different. Whatever you have…
In the area of 49,000 square kilometres at the historic crossroads of cultures, religions and conquerors Slovakia boasts more than 300 old castles and ruins. The castle in the photo bears the name Hrad Beckov and stands proudly on the Beckov cliff on the road that runs from Bratislava to High Tatra mountains. Many legends are told about the place, but nobody really knows…

Leave me the links to your posts with entries for this challenge, please. Happy Thursday! NOTE for new visitors: This is a once a week photo challenge. For further details please visit Scheduled Challenges page and Thursday’s…

I could not resist posting another photo (that some of you could see in colour before) of Corsica, but this time in black and white. Do you have some black and white landscapes that you want…
Dusk is that magical part of the day when things you don’t want to see are hidden and the faint light in the sky makes you want to hold to it for ever. (click on the photo to zoom in, to see it in accurate colours and contrasts) Welcome to the first Thursday’s Special in 2015 with the theme “dusk”. As always you are allowed to…
For my last Thursday’s Special post in 2014 I chose the tune “Veloma” by Fabrizio Paterlini. Veloma in Malagasy means “goodbye”, but this is not really a goodbye; it is just one “see you next year”. The first Thursday’s Special post scheduled for January is on the 8th with the theme “Dusk”. More about themes and scheduled posts on Scheduled Challenges page. …
Just a few weeks ago I was passing by this majestic Ginkgo tree all dressed in gold on my way to work. It is bare now, and soon it will probably be covered in snow. Visit Stokesley with Restless Jo.
