H e a d in the clouds, feet in the w a t e r

Air and water walk with me.

First loooong mindfull walk of this fall. North Sea I missed you!

This weekend we finally went to Limburg (South of the Netherlands] to see Basquiat’s exhibition at SCHUNCK. “SCHUNCK” situated in Heerlen at the heart of the Euroegion, is a new multidisciplinary institute devoted to contemporary visual art, architecture, music, literature and film. Which contains all imaginable crossovers between the disciplines. Manifested by means of presentations, collections and educational projects”.

Perfect place for this exhibition but… it was so boring. The person who’s designed it didn’t do much. I was so disappointed. The designer could go for anything here to show Basquiat’s works in unique way but ended up making just as normal presentation as possible and situated few “window holes” in the walls to show some pictures of NYC [Time Square Exhibition].[Besides Basquiat’s works you can see collective works of other artists of NYC’s scene]. You can check it yourself until June 2nd. I’m curious your opinion.

Heerlen is also famous for its graffiti/murals placed around the city. We had a nice walk follow some instructions from https://streetartheerlen.nl/ you can also check it out while waiting for a rain. Next stop was Maastricht and its unique vibe and craft beer cafe’s and one small micro brewery which we had a chance to visit.

no sleep till Brooklyn D1, Uncategorized

no s l e e p till Brooklyn D1

I’ve been busy recently with the big update here since I wasn’t posting for months here… This story is from November last year.

NYC trip was one of the top from my bucket list. This first time in NYC was very special for me. I visited my partner’s family for Thanksgiving celebration. And again going to this city as a photographer might be overwhelming. Mostly in places like this, I’m more paralyzed and literally don’t wanna photograph anything that was photographed before. But this thing you, who is visiting this blog regularly do know.

Today, day 1.

My flight with SwissAir was very pleasant. This was my first long flight with a layover in Zurich. I’m not the biggest fan of flying. If I could I would choose a train or any other transportation than this. I was super surprised how comfortable flight was with good vegetarian meals and unlimited wine on the board. I don’t need to tell you how the last one made me feel happy, right? I had nine hours to read the newest novel of my favorite writer Haruki Murakami, watch some stupid movies and do my best to not fall asleep to avoid jetlag [which I have to tell u I pretty well succeed]. Being a little bit bored i’ve made a calculation that my airplane I moving with the speed of 666km per hour, hilarious!

New York City welcomed me with the snow storm… We’ve made circles above the city for about an hour. Not a pleasant experience. But landing on snow was something I will never forget about.

Below you will see the footage from my favorite part of flying – soaking in the clouds. Enjoy!

When i t snows (Polish version)

When I t snows (Polish version)

We can’t deny the climate change. The winter in Poland was always a proper winter with lots of snow especially in the mountains. I remember being a kid or teen spending most of the winter time outside.

This year heading back for Christmas to Poland was hoping for some snow. We went to our favorite and closest place, Szklarska Poreba, hoping to hike or snowboard for this couple of days. All the weather forecast were saying “there will be a snow for Christmas Eve” but when we came to, there was nothing but rain and 5 degrees (on plus).

We were lucky to have snow for 3 days, having unexpected surprise at the Christmas’s morning. U can see on the first picture our outside fridge for craft beers!

There is not some many photographs form this trip since I was busy to remember everything with my own eyes 🙂

Btw on our way back we stopped by the biggest statue of Jesus in the world in Swiebodzin. I called it Rio de Swiebodzineiro 😉 but now seriously… this is the state of the mind which I will never get.

When I t snows (Dutch version)

Its has been looong time when I’ve been here for the last time.

Social media overwhelmed me recently, but there is never enough for photography. Especially I’ve so many things to share here with you. Photo diary should play its role. Will do my best to be here more often.

Thank you all of you for visiting my Woman World! I really appreciate it!

I don’t know if you guys know but The Netherlands is sometimes quite bizarre country. We have here rain for more than 200 days per year, but when it comes to snow, this country is paralyzed, gigantic traffics, trains being cancelled, no public transportation. But this always has a bright side, a walk! Today I was visiting Delft. I took few pictures before my phone died.
