'OIA, handmade houses' by Frizztext

OIA, handmade houses, a photo by Frizztext on Flickr.

It's late and I don't really have time for blogging tonight but I just thought I'd visit my blog briefly to post this lovely photo. I love this sort of image of Greek buildings and as a follow on from my last post really makes me want to go on holiday. I have been to Greece once, a place called Lefkas, and I really loved it there. I hope one day to go back and explore a bit more of the country.

Anyway, must dash. Hope you like this photo as much as I do.

I watched the film Mamma Mia for the first time recently and I must admit I really enjoyed it. I wasn't sure if I would as I'm not particularly into musical films or the songs of Abba but it was a real feel good film that had me smiling lots. The best bit of it though had to be the Greek scenery. I've been to Greece once and loved it there. I'd really love to go again especially after watching the film and now after seeing this gorgeous photo. I automatically recognised this as being somewhere in Greece as the buildings are just so typical of the country. I think it would probably be quite hard to take a photo of this view that wasn't lovely but this one really is extra special. The colours are so fresh and also so calm and peaceful and the composition is just perfect. Yet again I've managed to find a picture that I would love to transported into.

Happy weekend everyone!

'San Francisco - Transamerica Pyramid' by GlobeTrotter 2000

San Francisco - Transamerica Pyramid, a photo by GlobeTrotter 2000 on Flickr.

San Francisco is one of the places in the world I really want to visit. It looks so vibrant and interesting there. This well observed picture was taken in San Francisco and I think it's really fascinating. I love the contrast of the two different types of architecture. Out of the two buildings I prefer the older one as it's far more gorgeous to look at. This photo is also rather clever as it makes the buildings look the same height. I am guess though that the pyramid one is much, much taller!

'Day 29: 20 Stops' by Steve Moraco

Day 29: 20 Stops, a photo by Steve Moraco on Flickr.

This image really demonstrates how photographs can be rather deceptive sometimes. When I saw this I actually gave a little sigh and thought what a lovely place to work. I'd love a space like that to be work and be creative in. The lighting in this is just so bright and airy. I love the flowers in front of the window and the pictures and books on the shelves. And what a lovely green view out of the window. But then I took a second look. Hang on, that's not exactly the beautiful view I thought I was looking at. It's actually a big apartment building covered in graffiti. And in front of that another not so pretty urban building of some kind. So perhaps the reality is that although room itself looks rather nice, this isn't such a relaxing and peaceful place to work. I still think this is a gorgeous photo though!

Hope you're all having a lovely weekend. Mine's been great so far. Fabulous night out with the girls on Friday night. Dinner, dancing and cocktails! More relaxed day yesterday though - mainly due to the after effects of one cocktail too many. Whoops!

I love this photo because of the light. It was taken in Iceland at almost midnight. I can't imagine what it must be like to not get totally dark at night. I still find it rather exciting in summer when the sun doesn't set until about 10pm! Iceland is definitely a place that's on my 'to visit' list. I actually have a friend who lives there. Maybe I should turn up on her doorstep one day!

Hope you've been doing lots of fun things this weekend.
