Vintage Art: Havana

Today, I have something with guys wearing suit and faceless :-). This one just reminds me of that film The Tailor of Panama. There was a scene with Pierce Brosnan that exactly looks like this. It's been a long time so I could be wrong. Miss watching movies. Everyone's talking about these 3d films that I can't watch here. Hopefully, I'll be lucky with the upcoming Tim Burton's Alice.

Vintage Art: Tahiti

On my list to visit. It's for sure some place I would love to spend some relaxing days. Looking at this print, forget about the girl, I'm going for the fruits haha! Miss tropical fruits. I do get them here too but I love it when they're always accessible. Just googled some Tahiti photos, wah gorgeous place. Wanna go!

Vintage Art: Antibes Cote d'Azur

I want to be on a beach real soon. The thought of it makes me so excited. I don't care if it's with palms or rocks or peebles or fine sand as long as the water stays on the shore and doesn't or wouldn't retreat. That tsunami scare is still fresh you know. Hopefully, nothing like that anymore. It's terrible to think of the beach as a scary place to be.

Vintage Art: Trouville

I guess there are a lot more to see in France than just Paris. I've been always curious with southern France, places like Nice or Cannes. It should be warm there. But for those who are interested with a colder coastal climate then Trouville might be a good choice.

Vintage Art: Hinde-Rywielen

This must be tulip fields. I haven't seen it in person but it must be a very lovely sight. I think I've seen an eareal photo somewhere and it was gorgeous. I love countryside especially colorful ones. At my hubby's place, they have really nice countryside. The plains look yellowish to orange-ish and they have these hills that look purple at a particular time of the day. Very nice!

Photography: Mediterranean Beach in Cinque Terre, Liguria, Italy

I really love umbrellas. Most likely because of the shape and the colors. I carry one always in my bag but that's because it could rain here anytime :-). This photo reminds me of our trip to Italy when we were searching for a nice beach close to Pisa. We stopped by one and it was so crowded. Umbrellas were lined up like this and they were all occupied. So we decided to look for another one and ended up in a more deserted and wider beach.

Vintage Art: Over Paris

Hubby and me are crazy over another drama. Something about lovers in Paris :-). This addiction is killing me. Don't want to sleep anymore but just watch, watch and watch. I'm so looking forward to tonight's episode already. But before that got lots of stuff to take care of. Have a great Tuesday everyone!

Photography: Wooden Canoes Laden with Goods for Sale at Floating Market, Damnoen Saduak, Thailand

I love the colors and I love going to markets getting fresh fruits and veggies. I love the thought that there are plenty to eat afterwards when I get home. Somehow it's not the same if someone is doing the shopping for me because when I buy something, I'm already imagining how it would taste like. Food has to be enjoyed from the moment you buy them.

Vintage Art: French Railway Travel, Rome Express

I miss Rome! Went through our Italian photos last week and I got to reminisce some great memories during that tour. It was summer when we visited Rome so it's hard to not to remember how hot was that at that time. Really hot, sunburn and everything! Will love to be back though. I really enjoyed those ruins; felt like in the times Caesar.

Photography: Aitutaki Lagoon, Cook Islands

I want to be in a warm place right now... for real! Weather is killing me. So cold and wet, makes my toes swell wahhh! I can always rely on the internet to provide me such beautiful image to ease me a little :-) and yeah a warm cup of tea helps too.

Photography: Table Mountain

Was always wondering why it's called Table Mountain. Looking at this photo, now I know why ;-). I love the effect of long exposure shots on water. It creates this foamy, cloud-like, dreamy effect. Very nice! I still have to try this kind of shot myself. As long as my cam body is back from being fixed. Miss my baby!

Decorative Art: Paris Park, Winter

Like here probably, Paris must be also freezing cold right now but places like this stays beautiful even in the coldest days. Well, that merely depends on how warm you are. Being warm makes you see and enjoy things properly. And yeah, they've got lots of cafes to warm you up just in case you're really visiting in winter.

Photography: Berner Oberland Ski

The world is still frozen and is probably going to stay like this for some more days, brrr. Washed and hung my christmas table runner, it froze. It's that cold! For ski people, it must be heaven for them. Basing on the photo below, it looks like so much fun! I gotta say, enjoy guys!

Vintage Art: Grand Roue de Paris

Hm, I can't remember seeing this wheel. I was probably overwhelmed by a lot of sites In Paris. You know it was my first time and my first European city I visited aside from a few in Germany (but they don't count because I live here). I took photos like crazy. It was still a non-digital age so everything got printed, bad and good ones alike :-).

Photography: London - Red Bus

I guess London is the original to have these double-decker buses for tours. Other famous cities like San Francisco, Paris or even here in Cologne have these buses too. The so called hop-on, hop-off tours. Remembering our tour in London, it wasn't such a good idea to ride one actually. We got stuck in traffic jams! It was terrible! There were just too many of them that they could barely move. Better learn to get acquainted with their tube, faster way to go somwhere.

Vintage Art: Aarau

Got to look it up first. So this is a town in Switzerland. It's beautiful, it looks like old towns in Germany too. I love old towns! The shapes, designs and colors of old buildings are wonderful. We have one here in Cologne, the city's old city. It's normally crowded with tourists especially now because of Christmas markets. Would have love to explore more and take photographs. Let's see when hubby's getting better.

Vintage Art: Juan Les Pins

Isn't it nice to just wear what she's wearing and not these usual thick pullovers and heavy winter coats. Long winter is not just for me. It's squeeshing all your warmth out and leave you cold. Well at least it's not raining currently, we actually have sun :-) but no way to wear some 2 piece outside brrrr. Leave it to the people in the tropics or the Aussies who are having summer now.

Vintage Art: St. Raphael

I really miss swimming. I took the chance when I was in a warmer place, meaning at around 37 degrees temperature, at 9am when the sun is about to get burning hot. I was amazed I didn't get sunburnt especially not being exposed to sun for a long time. Swam or float away from the shore, I really enjoyed it!

Vintage Art: Lavandou

Great colors! Of course no ocean is purple or leaves black but great colors nevertheless. It's very eye catching, an eye candy. Enjoyable and sweet to those sparkling eyes :-). As a kid I used to color fruits wrong like a yellow eggplant or a purple banana. It might be wrong but they were pretty, surely not the usual.

Lavandou


Photography: Cafe de France

I guess the most famous place for cafes and not to mention baguettes and croissants. I love being in a cafe, enjoying the smell of delicious pastries and of course freshly brewed coffee. A bite and a sip won't harm I guess. I really enjoy the atmosphere, everyone seems to be relaxed. No wonder Starbucks got so successful :-).
