In my preparations for the Tortour ultra cycling race in August, I decided to visit the Dolomites mountain range. They are without a doubt one of the greatest cycling areas in the Alps. Spectacular mountain passes and breathtaking valleys create dramatic ascents and descents. And the mighty mountains surrounding the passes are the perfect scenery for our […]
Days before the summer solstice are rumored to have something magical in them, so we decided to visit an enchanting medieval town of Grožnjan. It is located in Croatian Istria, just a stone’s throw away from the sea. Grožnjan or Grisignana is known as the town of artists. It’s full of small galleries and numerous festivals […]
I wanted to visit Tuscany for a few years now. I always try to combine cycling with breathtaking views of landscape and Tuscany is perfect for that, especially The Val d‘Orcia region. Endless photo opportunities are found in these villages and rolling hills. The Val d’Orcia, or Valdorcia, is a region of Tuscany, central Italy, which extends […]
The next day we went to see Vatican and tried to visit the Vatican Museum, but failed due to the longest line I have ever seen. So a very important tip, if you would like to visit Vatican Museum, you have to buy tickets online, because you skip the line. We decided to try our […]

Ojstrica is one of the most popular locations to take photographs of Bled and many postcards and posters were made on this exact spot. A dear friend of mine once showed me this location and I decided on the spot that I just have to […]
A few weeks ago, in the early morning, I just felt restless. I wanted to work, but I just had to get out of the house. It was a cold and foggy morning, but I decided to go for a long walk anyway. I called a friend to join me, packed up my camera and […]
In our country it’s not really a tradition to celebrate Halloween, however over the past 10 years it has become common to go to a Halloween inspired party, where we don’t usually dress up in costumes.

October is my favourite month and each year I am eagerly waiting for the first snowfall that usually happens in October. Well, at least in the mountains. My expectations were especially high this year, since I just got a brand new lens for my Nikon D7000. AF-S NIKKOR 14–24mm f/2.8G ED is an optical masterpiece and […]
