Hello again! We’re back in Florence today, for a look at the outer courtyard of one of the many museums in the city. We were unable to go inside the museums, being in the city for only a very brief time – but just check out these decorations! Here are a few more, to give you an idea of what the courtyard looked like and … Continue reading Finest in Florence
Hello all – another week has passed already! Hope everyone smashed some goals, fixed that leaky tap you needed to fix but kept putting off or just generally achieved whatever items you had on your to-do list for the week. All I have to say is: slow down year, I don’t want you to be over already! At least I have time to look through … Continue reading High Art
After yesterday’s post about the Petit Palais, here is one from a different bit of it to show you the multi-faceted wonder of the place (if you missed yesterday’s post – IT’S FREE TO GET IN HERE). The whole building was lovely, but one of my favourite features was this tiled walkway around the central garden. The colours were so soft and the patterns so … Continue reading Oasis du Palais
Well friends, it’s been a while. I’m the blogging equivalent of a long-distance acquiantance – not around much, but fun to catch up with…at least I hope that’s how you people reading feel! AAAAAAAAAnyhow, here’s a snap from (surprise surprise) MY TRIP TO EUROPE! A Parisian destination today, with much more to it than met the eye. This place is called the Petit Palais, and … Continue reading A Deceptive Name
Hello! It’s been a while. A loooong while – as always, my excuse is “Life is sooooo busy! GAAAAAAWD!” Now, for today’s pictures – bask in the wonders of a famed landmark in Florence, the beauty of the Duomo or Florence Cathedral… These buildings are always immense, and yet somehow remain completely obscured from view until the last moment. They pop up out of seemingly … Continue reading Hidden Majesty
Many of England’s churches are for good reason world-renowned as exemplary architectural feats. My family and I visited on one of our days exploring the surrounding countryside of Oxford the following gem of a place: Salisbury Cathedral was a fantastic structure with a serene feeling to it that you cannot capture in an image – however the clean lines of the gorgeous covered cloister were … Continue reading Magical Moods
Windsor in England was the very first place my travelling companions and I went on our long tour of Europe and it was full of utterly adorable and charming sights. The brightly coloured doors of many of the buildings caught my eye; these blue doors on the church were particularly pretty in the English sunshine. Apologies for not posting too much lately – I’ve been … Continue reading Blue Green White
It has been more than a week since I last posted here – I have since settled back into life in Perth, my hometown. That’s right, I have returned from the dreamy European adventure and gotten back into a (sort-of) regular routine! One thing that has really left me feeling a little disoriented though is the lack of hustle and bustle at home. The photo … Continue reading Goodbye City Lights!
On our European bus tour my family and I arrived in the city of Brussels in the late afternoon and made our way out for an evening walk around the central city. The famous Market Square (click here for a night image of that goodness) was incredible, but what got us was the bustle of all the surrounding side-streets. Warmly lit and vibrant, they really … Continue reading Late Evening Meals
Another shot from the recent day trip to Compiegne today – a fantastic relic of an ancient past sat smack-bang in the middle of the town. The town hall was a spectacular example of imposing medieval structure, with a bright Christmas fair going on right in front. If you ever get the chance, this day trip is so easy to make and so worth it! … Continue reading Tall Town Hall
