Home is ... That way ...!!!

Far, far away from home... This 'monument' made by the Portuguese military in Pristina shows the appreciation of the Portuguese people for their homeland. Each arrow names a city and the distance from their location in Pristina to the home-town back in Portugal. Loved the originality. The Portuguese heart is all about Saudade!

Sweet Temptation

Somewhere along the streets of Venice, around New Year's time, there it was: The Sweet Temptation! A chocolate fountain! A dream come true. A sweet, very sweet dream. Yuuummmie!!!

On the road to

All alone the little duck, coming from somewhere, heading to wherever his roam is, makes his way ahead full of resilience. As the little duck moves forward a track stays behind him, marking his path, effort and life. He steadily and strongly swims through the water and focuses on the way ahead. Not looking back, only looking ahead. The past and the path recently tracked no longer belong to him - though they will always be a part of him -, but what comes ahead is his to conquer. Many tides he will find, other ducks will get in his way, many problems he will face. I could not help but admiring his posture and courage. I wondered what was his purpose and what would become of him. While observing this little duck I thought to myself: that might as well be me walking errands as a little duck in this big world. With a smile on my face I wished him luck and watched him continuing his way. Then I turned the other way and continued my own path.

Freedom of Expression

Political freedom of expression in Amsterdam!

Any place is a good place to express your opinion. In this case, the back of a car parked somewhere in the centre of great Amsterdam city. "Bush is a terrorist... YY" ?!

A name is just... a name...?

Ever feel like we are all just names and numbers? That you get lost in a crowd of names and individuals? The important is to find yourself within that magnitude of Characters ;) Me found myself :)

Trapped

Trapped ... unable to reach the outside world ... that world where I so desperately want to have a place ...

Trying to get out of this confinement where I am locked in ... trying to come out of myself ...
A double prison: the cage and myself.
On the opposite side of the window a net covers the sky. Still I manage to see the sun....
Trapped...
