    Heart-related

    2018-02-14 /

    Valentine’s Day is a feast imported to the Czech Republic especially based on commercial reasons and is not celebrated by many. At least I don’t know anyone in my circle of family, friends, acquaintances and colleagues who would celebrate it… There is no local tradition connected with it and also, romance doesn’t seem to be a popular word here, rather…

    Captured in three different ways

    2017-12-30 /

    December will end tomorrow so here I am with the final photos that I’ve taken and selected to represent the theme A THING OR SCENE CAPTURED IN THREE DIFFERENT WAYS assigned to this month in my 12-month photo project. The aim of this theme was to look at the objects and scenes that we photograph from different angles, perspective or distance to realise…

    Once you hear it

    2016-03-15 /

    A word, a phrase, a sentence Once you hear it, it captures more than your attention It whispers, it cries, it shouts, asking you: Come and absorb me, come and transform me, come and make me your part You can do nothing to change it, there is no way to ignore it, and there is no way to go back…

    This and that in Klenová

    2014-10-21 /

    A few years ago we stopped in Klenová for a while and visited an old church there, a small church hidden among trees. I just remembered there was also a gallery we didn’t want to visit at that time and having taken a few photos in front of the church and having spent several minutes there, we left for home.…

    Pilgrimage to Kladruby

    2013-05-26 /

    In September I posted a few photos from our brief stop at the premises of the Benedictine monastery at Kladruby. About three weeks ago a diocesan pilgrimage took place there and I decided to go, together with my younger son. He wanted to go and I thought it was a good opportunity both for him and me to spend a…

    Lilac genre scenery

    2012-05-18 /

    When we were approaching our car at the end of our outing to Žinkovy, I spotted out of the corner of my eye violet lilac bushes. I asked my husband to take care of our tired children and wait for me for a few minutes and went to explore the place. We were parking by an old church and when…
