Weekly Photo Challenge: Surprise
My contribution to this week's WordPress Weekly Photo Challenge. The theme this week "surprise". This photo appeared in my last regular post. Sometimes beauty can surprise us.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Reflections
Reflections. Is what we see in the mirror real? Or is the world on the other side of the mirror real, the one looking back at us and wondering?

My contribution to this week's Weekly … Continue reading Weekly Photo Challenge: Reflections

Weekly Photo Challenge: Renewal
Renewal requires us all to take a step forward. Place one foot in front of the other. Don't look back. Don't regret. Don't worry about what might have been. Nothing will change unless we have the courage to move forward, to cross the street.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Geometry
The interior of the Museum of Aviation on belgradestreets is both geometric and at the same time almost organic. From afar the building dominates the landscape with its toroidal shape and criss crossing windows.
