After days and days of rain and fog, the sun finally showed up this weekend.
I was surprised to see how everything has changed. Trees have turned gold and red and the leaves laying on the ground are painted in hundreds of different colors. Here are the pictures, I hope you enjoy them!

MOTO GP / Czech Republic

Moto GP 1The weekend we spent at Brno was one of a kind. This road trip turned out to be a really nice adventure between friends sharing the same love for sports and sporting events in general. The two days we spent on the Brno circuit filled me with one-of-a-kind energy that made me feel like I was one with all supporters right there. Imagine 120,000 people screaming and clapping every time a motorbike passes by, waving at all the racers no matter who they were. Surprisingly, unlike in many other sports, rivalry and hatred seemed nonexistent in MotoGP which appealed to me right away and made me love and respect that sport even more. But as a supporter and fan of the Doctor, Valentino Rossi seeing 95% of the public from all around Europe cheering for him and sporting either t-shirts, caps, umbrellas or flags from his own brand was definitely the highlight of the weekend. Looking back, I came to realize that no matter how good you are at what you do, or how talented you are your personality is what makes a difference. People love Valentino Rossi not only because he is the greatest racer of all times but also because he is a genuine person who keeps things simple and make us laugh.
No matter if he was practicing, qualifying or racing, at the end Valentino Rossi slowed down his bike and took the time to wave at us all which showed us that he was really appreciative of the warm support he was getting from his fans. No surprise though that I could count on the fingers of one hand how many Lorenzo fans were there.

Take a look at my first pictures as a sports photographer and simply enjoy. ^^

K O R N A T I | PART 1

It would have been a shame to leave Dalmatia without visiting the K O R N A T I , archipelago of Croatia which includes 140 islands. The trip was very pleasant due to the family atmosphere that reigned on the boat.  We left early in the morning and spent most of the day on the boat, cruising in between islets and reefs, snapping pictures and socializing with other passengers. During our first stop, we reached the highest point of the Kornati from where we enjoyed the mesmerizing view and also took some beautiful pictures, that will be revealed in part 2. There, we swam and dived for almost an hour and after we were on our way to a local restaurant. After eating lunch and visiting the surroundings, the boat stopped in the middle of the sea and we couldn’t resist jumping off the boat in the deep blue water. It was amazing!

SPRING IN PARIS | BONJOUR TOUR EIFFEL

SPRING IN PARIS TOUR EIFFELI never got tired of seeing and photographing la Tour Eiffel.
After we finished visiting Les Invalides and le Musée de l’Armée we decided to scroll through the small streets of Paris towards the Eiffel Tower to see what’s hiding in this part of Paris. We discovered tons of cute bistrots serving great Entrecotes but because of the crowded terraces we continued on our way and ended up eating Au Bureau on les Champs-Élysées. It is a very cozy place that reminds me of Irish pubs and their food is really good. I don’t have pictures of the place since I was impatiently waiting for my chicken to arrive and God knows that when I’m hungry I’m not in the mood to talk, smile and even less take pictures! Sorry ^^
Anyways, Paris looks awesome in Spring thanks to the amazing blossoming trees and the green color of the fresh grass. But don’t be fooled by the sunshine and blue sky, it wasn’t hot at all! It was windy and cold but luckily it started to rain the day after that so we have at least some nice pictures from that Parisian trip.
I’ve got to go now as I’m heading to an outside birthday party! Yay, grilled meat here I come!

Have a nice one folks,

SPRING IN PARIS | LES INVALIDES

SPRING IN PARIS 1I must tell you that it was a pleasure to be back behind the lens and shot Les Invalides both from inside and outside.  The twenty something pictures that I am sharing with you are revealing the beauty of this historical landmark where several France’s war heroes rest in peace. I photographed the tombs of Napoleon Bonaparte and his brother Joseph, since their burial sites are the most eye-catching.
In the pictures, the first tomb you see is Joseph Bonaparte’s which is actually situated on the left when you walk into the building. But let’s start from the beginning and go over the pictures one by one.
The very first picture shows Mansart’s dome that is shining like a diamond under the sun but you can’t see it on the picture as the clouds spoiled it all. You might have also noticed that a picture of the entire building is missing. The reason why I haven’t published it here is because my husband is on it and I respect his decision not to appear on my blog, but if you are curious you should check out the pictures of Les Invalides available on the internet, they are gorgeous!
Then follow pictures of me, jumping around like some kangaroo and don’t even ask how many time did I had to run and jump! The first pic is hilarious, doesn’t it look like I’m doing a long jump? Hahaha …
The picture with the tank is the last picture taken at the entrance of Les Invalides but the next ones have been taken back side of the building where the Eiffel Tower appears on the right side this time.
Then I appear in front of the gorgeous door where people were kind of waiting in line to snap it. The following pictures are from inside and as I have mentioned it before, Napoleon Bonaparte’s tomb is in the last picture that I couldn’t caught on camera from the top as an ugly ladder next to the tomb was ruining my pic.
By the way, ignore my look! I was in tourist mode and the wind was cold as hell that day. ^^

Hope you will like my post and come back tomorrow if you want to see a few pictures of the Eiffel Tower under the Sun.
