Como lake and villas

Here are some more pics from Como lake. Actually, it's enough to buy a ticket for a slow ferry and just enjoy the views from there. Villas vith gardens, pools (even in the lake), hills.. Breathtaking views all the way :)

This one is Villa del Balbianello, it appeared in number of films, including Star Wars: Episode II Attack of the Clones, and Casino Royale.

Como lake

After spending one evening in Bergamo we decided to go somewhere else and explore a part of Italy. One of options was Milano, second one and more attractive - Como lake.
Early in the morning we took a bus and after 2 hours got to Como city at Como lake.
This is quiet big one, with shops, banks, cafes.

After having a walk and second breakfast (italian food is so tasty and people are so nice) we took a ferry (the fast on, 15 Eur per person) and went to Bellagio, small town, situated right in the middle of the lake where 3 parts of it meet (lake has Y-shape).
   

Water in the lake is pure like cristal! You can even see fishes.  

All around are hills, this looks so calm and gorgeous!
 

Bellagio was really nice.

And all over the lake you can find famous villas. Some of them you can see in movies, in some of them there are hotels now, like in this one:

More villas and landscapes next time! :)

Bergamo

When searching for the flight to Valencia I realized, that we can´t find a direct flight there.  So we decided not only to switch planes in Italy, but also to stay there for two nights. First evening we spent in Bergamo, this is pretty medieval town, not tiny, not big, just enough to discover in a short trip. Unfortunately I have only night pics from Bergamo, but still this was a nice walk around :)

Be inspired!

Hi, everyone. One September evening me and my friend Dasha (who lives in UK for a while) were sitting in the kitchen and talking about friendship on a distance. No matter how strong your friendship is, you can't go to the cinema or exhibition together, if you want to see each other the only way is video-call, but it's not the best alternative to real meetings. So, suddenly an idea of doing something together came to my mind. While discussing it with Dasha it transformed in certain photo-crocheting project. Dasha is keen on crocheting, knitting and other DIY. So now we are starting an inspirational project.


Once in three weeks I'll publish inspirational photograph and Dasha in next three weeks has to crochet 20x20 cm square using my picture as an inspiration. After some time Dasha will make a blanket from this squares. She has made some blankets already and that ones are beautyfull. You can check on your own here, for example http://crochetomania.blogspot.com/2012/08/ta-dah-green-fields-blanket-finished.html


So, lets start, the first one inspirational pic is quiet standard, but it's just for start, next ones are going to be more tricky!


If you wanna join us in any way (knitting, crocheting, drawing, etc), don't be shy, you are welcome to publish your works in the comments here or in Dasha's blog.


Stay inspired!

   

Best flight ever. Riga-Bergamo

This was the best flight ever. Never seen such beauty so close. Sky and pics from the plane are my fetish :)

Dream on

What do you imagine when hear about dreaming? Sky, that's what comes to my mind.
Today is an evening of plan writing and also dreaming. Dream on and you'll be already half way there. But don't forget to act after :)  

Estonian Trip 2

Some more pics from Estonian Trip 2012. Sooma National park is a beautiful place, with silent woods and bogs. Such and empty lonely bog and so much space. Inspiring!
