    Pilsen in morning light

    2017-03-09 /

    Weekend of open gardens – Part 1 – Luft’s Garden

    2015-06-18 /

    Some time ago I noticed a poster in a street inviting those passing by to visit a garden belonging to a Dominican monastery within an event called “Weekend of open gardens”. As I had never heard of such an event, that invitation caught my attention and I thought about finding more pieces of information on the Internet when I get…

    2013-07-25 /

    When I was in my twentieth, I had a pair of friends who used to organise evenings of reading in their flat for a bunch of young people.
