100

 

Včerajšni sončni zahod // Yesterday's sunset

 

Pišem že stoto objavo mojega bloga in spodobi se, da jo posvetim Radovljici (mogoče sem delala poudarek samo na naravnih lepotah našega mesteca, ampak tudi stavbe so čudovite). Zgoraj je nekaj fotografij stavb, se bom pa v prihodnje posvetila še našemu Linhartovem trgu, ki je krasen. Ko smo že pri Radovljici, Radol'ci kot ji pravimo domačini, si oglejte tule kaj vse se bo dogajalo čez december. 

Pa je res že december! Ravnokar bodo zažarele božične lučke in z njimi bo zažarel tudi otroški del mene :). Tole pesem sem sigurno že objavila pa jo bom še vseeno še enkrat :).

I'm writing my 100th post of my blog, and I think it's properthat I dedicate it to my hometown Radovljica (I've always made a big fuss around the natural beuties of the town, but the buildings are also amazing). There are some photos above of those buildings, but I will make a post later on about our Linhart square, that it's just incredible. Speaking about Radovljica (we call it Radol'ca), you should check out all the events that are going to happen in December.

December really is already here! Christams lights are going to be turned on any day now, and with them child in me will also shine :). Listen to this!

Dežuje ... pa spet ne // It's raining ...and then it stops

Tole vreme je idealno za šolsko delo, ampak moram še vseeno na kakšen sprehod pa čeprav samo do knjižnice in knjigarne. Toliko, da se namoči dežnik, če slučajno pada toliko, da ga je vredno odpreti :).

This weather is just prefect for some school work, but I still have to go for a walk from time to time, even if just to the library and  bookshop. Just so that my umbrella gets wet, if it rains, by any chance, hard enough to open it :).

Grafični bienale// Biennale of graphic design

Letos sem obiskala grafični bienale, ki poteka v Ljubljani. (še do 24. je) Tja sva se odpravile s prijateljico in seveda ogled v takem primeru nikoli ne razočara, kar se tiče družabnosti, vendar moram priznati, da me ni kaj prida pritegnil letošnji bienale. Ne vem. Mislim, da se teme ves čas vrtijo okrog političnih zadev, naravnih katastrof in podobnih stvari. Mogoče je čas, da se v umetnosti spet pojavi malo nežnosti, malo naturalizma, malo optimizma, če ne se nima človek kam zatečt. Vsaj tako se mi zdi. Res je, da si ne smemo zatiskati oči pred kruto realnostjo, ampak res mislim, da je treba človeku kdaj pobegnit v en tak lep svet. Ali pa smo taki samo mi, umetniki.

Biennale of graphic design is still running in Ljubljana. Go and check it out! :)

Turist// Tourist

Včeraj sem se odpravila na kratek sprehod po centru. Okrog vratu mi je visel fotoaparat, za nahrbtnikom je bil zataknjen papir za risanje. Bilo mi je nadvse zabavno, ko so me mimoidoči gledali z nasmeškom na obrazu, ker so mislili, da sem turist. Meni so kotički ustnic, kar sami lezli navzgor. Malo zaradi tega, ker mi je to prijalo, malo pa tudi zato, ker vem, da se motijo in ker se mi zdi, da bi prijazne poglede tudi Slovenec v lastni državi sprejel z veliko mero hvaležnosti :).

I went for a short walk yesterday. My camera was hanging around my neck, and a paper for drawing was jammed behind my rucksack. It was very funny when people who passed me by smiled at me, because they thought I'm a tourist. I couldn't help myself, I was smiling all the time. Partly because I enjoyed it, and partly because I knew how wrong they were and because I think that a Slovenian wouldn't mind to see those smiling faces in his own country. :)

Sonce, kostanj, vikend // Sun, chestnuts, the weekend

 

Zjutraj je treba samo hitro vsat iz postelje, prepričat družinske člane, da gremo na sprehod pa vsi dobimo svojo dozo jesenskega vitamina D in kostanja :).

In the morning you just have to quickly get up from bed, persuade your family to go for a walk, and then we all get our autumnish dose of vitamin D and chestnuts :).

Potepanje po centru, tokrat v dvoje // Wandering around the center, this time in pair

 

Čeprav sem pristaš samotnih raziskovanj okolice, v katero me zanese, kdaj pa kdaj spoznam še kakšnega "turista", ki je slučajno moja sošolka, s katero se odpravim na fotografski obhod. V četrtek zjutraj sva torej pograbili svoje fotoaparate, se pred faksom odpravile na dolgi sprehod in bili posledično cel dan utrujeni zaradi tega, ker mraz in hoja pač naredita svoje, še posebej, če se potem usedeš v topel prostor :). Taki dnevi so pač lepi in dragoceni. 

Pa še pesem, ne gre mi iz glave. 

Even though I love to wander around by myself, I sometimes encounter another "tourist" that happens to be my schoolfriend , with whom I went on a phototrip around the center with her this thursday. We grabbed our cameras and went for a walk before the school, and we were quite tired afterwards, because of the cold and walking, especially when we got inside :). Days like that are beautifull and priceless.

This song is stuck in my head.

Deževni dnevi// Rainy days

Jesen je dokončno pokazala svoj pravi obraz in nas zasipa, ne samo z listjem, ampak tudi z dežjem in meglenimi oblaki. Vsaj tako je bilo cel teden v Ljubljani, z izjemo torkovega popoldneva, ko je le posijalo nekaj sončnih žarkov. Saj je bil še kakšen dan tak, ampak sem bila, jah, na faksu in nisem mogla s fotoaparatom kar odvihrati ven sredi risanja :). 
 V Radovljici je bil pa baje kdaj pa kdaj tudi lep dan in včeraj, ko sem prišla domov, so me pozdravile zaplate jasnega neba. Bila sem presrečna in nekaj pogledov sem tudi dokumentirala. 
 Danes je pa spet deževen dan, ampak vseeno sem šla na en kratek sprehod, z rumenim dežnikom, da sem imela vsaj zaščito pred kapljami sončno.
Pa še pesem, ki je nekakšna himna tekočega tedna.

Autumn showed her real face, and it bombards us with not only leafs but also rain and foggy clouds. At least it was like that in Ljubljana this week, except for Tuesday, when the sun finnaly broke through the clouds.
 But in Radovljica, there were some lovely days, and yesterday I was more than happy to see some parts of fresh sky, and I had to take photos of that. 

Today the sky is grey again, but I went for a walk anyway, with my yellow umbrella, too get some sunny color in my life :).
This is the hymn of this week.

Sončni žarki// Sunshines

Kakšna sivina je kar naenkrat prišla v naše kraje in moram priznati, da je svoje temačne odtenke naselila tudi vame. Na srečo pa so oblake za kratek čas premagali pogumni sončni žarki, ki so razsvetlili Ljubljano in tudi mojo glavo. Dodajmo temu še kakšnega prijatelja ali dva, nasmešek in dan je takoj lepši. Vsaj za nekaj ur :). Pa še pesem.

What grey clouds have came over our country and I must admit that those dark shades also affected me. Luckily, today some brave sunshines has defetead those clouds, which enligjhtened Ljubljana and also my mind. Let's add to this a good friend or two, a smile and a day becomes better at once. Well, at least for a few hours :).
Let's conclude with a song. 

Spomini// Memories

 

Prvi november zadnja leta doživljam s takšnim sladko-grenkim občutkom.Na plano privre toliko spominov povezanih s starima staršema, lučke sveč pa vsemu skupaj dodajo tako lepo čarobnost, da se v tebe v hipu naseli otroško občudovanje drobnih plamenčkov.
  Vsekakor pa je danes en čudovit dan, kar se za prvi november redko zgodi. Ponavadi cela gruča ljudi roma na pokopališče z dežnikom in so oblečeni v tople bunde. Letos se je pa iz meglenega jutra naredil prekrasen dan, idealen za poslikanje velikega platna, ki sem ga kupila ta teden :). 
 Fotografija pa je iz katedrale v Malagi. Res bi šla spet malo potovat. No, pa saj bo že še čas. 
Pa še za konec, pesem. :)

First of November is kind of bittersweet for me for the last few years. I just remember all those moments connected  with my grandparents. And those lights of candels makes everything so magicall, so that you get that child-like look, when you're observing little flames.
 But certainly, today was a beautiful day, which is not so common for the first of November. Usually a bunch of people walks to the cemetary with umbrellas and they are dressed in warm jackets. But this year day turned from foggy to sunny, and it's just great for painting a vast canvas I bought this week :).
 Photography above was taken in Malaga. I would really like to travel right now. But honestly, there will be plenty time for that, I believe.
I'll conclude with a song :).
