Colours of Andalucia

Andalucia is the second largest, in terms of land area, of the seventeen autonomous communities of the Kingdom of Spain. It is located in the south of the Iberian Peninsula. This region is mainly well known for flamenco, white villages located in the mountains, arabic remains and great tapas. My vision of Andalucia consist mostly of colours which were really well exposed especially in small white-wall villages. Here below some pics from this amazingly colourful travel.

The photo that I really like

The photo of René Magritte, pretending to choke his wife Georgette is one of my favourite one. I just like its  comic way of depicting this famous belgian surrealist painter.

World Cup emotions

I love watching people's emotions that relfect on their faces. That's why I took my camera to one of Warsaw's pub where there was match between Germany and Spain. Fantastic german team-play failed this time with spanish determination to win. Here below some pics from this exciting event.

Eggman project

During workshops with Tomek Sikora, well known for art and advertising photography, I was asked to participate in "Eggman project". The idea was to take a photo of Eggman against the interior of the building that the workshops took place in. Here below my photo-proposition which apparently was close to idea of Rene Magritte, belgian surrealist artist.

Postcards from Sicily

Sicily is an amazing italian island although sicilian residents want to be called first Sicilians, then Italians.As the island was ruled through ages by Asians, Africans and Europeans, Sicily has this multicultural vibe. Depending which part of this land you are in, history seems to look at you from each corner of the street. But no matter where you stay, the great food and the sun is always with you. Here below some pics from my trip around Sicily.

Dutch Windmills

The Netherlands is so closely associated with windmills, that it's often the first fact people recall about the country. The Dutch built windmills for many centuries.To some extent, the windmills built the country itself, since without them much of the land drainage (like 40%) could not have occured. It's about 1150 remaining windmills in the Netherlands.Here below some pics depicting this amazing home-construction:

The Belgian Comic Strip Center

During my last visit in Brussels I went to the Belgian Comic Strip Center in order to get back to one of best known belgian comic strip character - Tintin. But this kingdom of  the imagination is well know also for other Belgium's comic stripe heros:  Spirou, Bob and Bobette, the Smurfs, Lucky Luke, Asterix and many more. Here below some photographs from this trip:

Finbarr O’Reilly, chairman of this year edition, says that this photo depicts hope in the world full of  despair nowadays.

Spring time at countryside

Going at countryside made me thinking about presenting spring time through my camera. I'm not very keen in taking photos of nature but this time I found another life in the grass. Please have a look at this "jungle's life".
