If you decide to take a road trip through rural Pennsylvania you will discover many small, charming towns. Clearfield is one of them. Clean, small, beautiful streets. Not much traffic, people. Very quiet. If you would start wondering around, you will find pieces of art, located here is there. Usually, there are river or creek.
I have not been in Toronto for quite a while. Did not find that attractive to visit. Good what I came. City changed. Changed for better. Still same CN Tower. Still very tall. Just around is so nice! Many places where you can hang out, have a drink. Eat a nice meal. Like this converted
Personally, I do not like this name, prefer original Tapan Zee Bridge. Anyway – it is nicely designed but badly executed. NY Transport authority even sued construction company for all defects. Nevertheless, it is pretty, actually very pretty especially at night.
It is located near one of the busiest intersections of New Jersey – I-80 & I-287. On northers outskirts of Morristwon. Unusually quiet place. It is not big but have enough room for slow walk. Place, where you can enjoy simple beauty Small things which bring a joy to our life It is well structured
Yes, I intentionally put “New Jersey” into title because otherwise it would be hard to believe it is in USA. New Jersey has a large Hindu community there are a few big Hindu Temples in NJ but nothing comparable to this one. It is created by 12 thousand volunteers, and it took them 10 years
Just a 5-minute drive north of High Bridge, NJ you may find a little lake. Lake Solitude. It was small but so charming. Small dam just adds a flavor to it. It is especially lovely during Autumn, when all tries in peak of colors. On other side, there are a Columbia Trail but you cannot
Clinton is a small town near I-78 on your way to Pennsylvania. It is famous for picturesque Red Mill, which you can see above. If you will end up there, it worth to take a short stroll along Main Street. You may find few eateries and couple pretty good coffee shops. There are a small
Once it was a railroad. It became abandoned and there was a push convert it to trail, accessible by public. David S. Ammerman was a man who championed this idea. It runs between Clearfield and Grampian so it was its original name but in 2011 it was renamed. Because it is built on top of
Central Pennsylvania, Small towns, Autumn Fairs – So nice, so charming. Just few streets closed for traffic and local vendors selling they goods. People come from all towns and villages nearby. Food is absolutely delicious. All homemade. And of course, antique cars … We saw some on other shows But different light, different settings …
Right on the border of New Jersey and New York you may find a little gem – Skyland Minor. Sometimes it is called NJ Botanical Gardens. In reality it is a small but well-maintained estate which is used as Wedding Venue. Personally, I think it is a beautiful place to have Wedding. I have been
It is small museum, just 3-4 rooms (depending how you count 🙂 ) but it has interesting pieces. Thinker. Of course, you can see it but in reality, it is just enlarged figure from “Gates of Hell” which you can see by the entrance. There are few works dedicated to hands. Most of them just
I love this park. It has so much to offer. Two lakes. Miles and miles of trails. Trail to Castle Point would be a best option if you are first time here. Just make sure you visit second like – Lake Awosting. For this visit, we picked trail to Gertruda’s Nose and Millbrook Mountains. So,
Our neighborhood told us – there will be a Car show at Clearfield’s Walmart parking lot. Hmm. It was sounding interesting. At Walmart lot? Our curiosity would not allow us to skip this event. So, we came … and indeed we found a small, about 40 car of various ages There were some impressive cars,
I have to admit, for quite long time I was thinking Philadelphia is State Capital Pennsylvania. Oh! I were so wrong. In reality, State Capital of Pennsylvania was moved few times, even Lancaster used to be a capital from 1799 to 1812. So, we decided to pay a short visit to it. You have too,
Costa Rac. Pura Vida. It is more than Pure Life. “Pura Vida” is a mindset that values simplicity, happiness, gratitude, and connection. You can see it, feel as soon as you land in CR. CR is a place, where you can enjoy food at pretty nice places, which can be very sophisticated. Or you can
Such a nice city! Really, really nice city. Frankly speaking, I did not expect it. This city is full of history and traditions. Even crowds of tourist cannot spoil feeling of them. Amazing food and coffee shops. Of course – Guinness. Even if you do not like beer, you have to try it out. Art
If you would travel south, just little bit over hour by train from London you will find Eastbourne. Which is located few miles east from more famous brother Brighton. I personally, prefer Eastbourne. I love it during off season. When it is not so crowded by beachgoers and other vacationers. When weather is little bit
Even I have been in G4S multiple number of times, I never visited it Spring, when all flowers and trees are in full blosom. Magnolias are still in full swing All these colors create amazing backdrop for art pieces. Each of them benefits in its own, special way. Even the ones, which are not affected
Gooseneck State Park may not be a famous as Horseshoe bend near Page AZ but it is not less beautiful and breathtaking. San Juan River did a pretty impressive job by carving its path through layered rocks. Try to come here for sunset and wait. Colors will be changing every minute. Looks like Mother Nature
If you are visiting Monument Valley in Arizona do yourself a favor and lookup Natural Bridges National Monument on map. There are several ways how you can get there. Most impressive route will lay through Valley of Gods but you should have 4×4 to see it. Especially at Moki Dugway. If you have normal car
March. New jersey. Atlantic Ocean. Brrrr …. Cold … Windy … Really windy. Sand fly low like snow. Trying to get in any opening in your outfit. Floks of little birds running away from waves At the same time it so charming. Nobody is on beach. Really – NOBODY, may be few other crazy folks.
March. Very strange month. Even in NJ weather is totally unpredictable. You can be freezing one day and next day you will be looking for shorts. At the same time it is beautiful month to visit Princeton campus. If you do closer to end of the month, first thing what you will see is a
Montreal. Just few hours of driving from NYC and you are in Europe 🙂 Not really but close. Very close. Food. People. Quebec is something special. Still Canada but different. What’s truly amazing, you can find a good taste of Asian culture here. Botanical Gardens , which are next to Olympic stadium hides a true
Philadelphia. City of brotherly love. So much of history. So many sides. It has everything. From Kensington poisoned by drugs to superb fine restaurants like Devon and Parc. Navy yards is one of very special places. Yes. It is real military base. It is restricted. But you can get there. No paperwork is required 🙂
Deindustrialization. It is very scary word. Usually it is result of war, disaster but not here, not in USA. It is all man made, self-inflicted wound. Plant, which produced steel for almost all famous bridges in US such as Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge in New York City, the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco. Chrysler Building, the
Newburgh, NY, just an hour drive from NYC. It may look like a strange place. A very strange place. Slowdown, take deep breath, look around and you will find some amazing places there. Motorcyclopedia is one of them. Museum of motorcycles. Largest collection of Indian Chies. And of course plenty of Harleys. Custom bikes In
Visiting Iceland in winter is kind of strange idea. Anyway, it was easy. There are a small airport which in Newburgh, NY. It is very small, 4 gates. 5 flights per day. One of them is going to Reykjavik by Play Air. 30 minutes of drive from home, zero waiting time, 5 hours by plane
South of Madrid, Somewhere in La Mancha, small town – Consuegra. Do even think to miss it Just behind city, on the hills, you will find old fortress and series of wind mills So charming. So peaceful Just take a sweet time and slowly walk along them and enjoy the view
Toledo. When you want to walk through the history this is a place for you. Just come early, I mean really early. Drive to Mirador de Los Cigarrales and wait for sunrise. Watch how city wakes up And when you ready, drive into center and strat walking Just remember, you are walking though time, every
Yes. Yes. I know – “God’s waiting room” but I do really like Florida. And – Yes, Beaches are gorgeous. Especially on Gulf side but I am not big fan of the spending time laying on sand. I love to Move, to Explore, to See Nature and Florida has all of it. Swamps which are
It is hard to describe it. All what I know – This is most Beautiful Place what I ever saw on this plant so far. It is absolutely stunning All what you have is to wake up early and drive! And you will be rewarded I have been there several times and each time was
I like Montreal. It is calm city. Even it is a big city it still feels more like a town. Busy but not over. I like its streets in old part. Little bit quirky sometimes Some strange, in good sense, doorways and alleys At the same time my favorite place is Botanical gardens. I love
NJ is a quirky state, you never know what you may find there. Waterloo Village is one of such unexpected places. If it would be in Pennsylvania or Connecticuit I would understand but Exit 25 on I-80?! There are even signs on interstate, so take exit 25 and follow them. Few extra minutes and you
Another volume is completed. You will find there, little bit of Niagara Falls … Some flowers … Well hidden NJ gems, like Red Mill at Clinton … And of course tons of autumn colors …
3:30 Alarm is screaming – Wakeup! Wakeup! Backpack with camera gear is ready and waiting. 4:00 After mixing absolutely terrible coffee I jump into car. 2 hrs drive. Freeway is really FREE. No cars what’s so ever. 6:10 Arriving to starting point. It is absolutely dark. Warning sign says – Be aware of Bears and

After been confined in Hong Kong for year, finally we were able to fly somewhere and have a short vacation. Nothing special. Lots of drinks. And sunrises by the beach …
Coming back to country after 4 years living abroad its a strange experience. You can see all changes very well. People who live here for all this time may not see them because they taking place gradually for you, coming back, all changes are clear and magnified. Unfortunately not many good changes but we expected
We came to city just for 2 years and end up living here 4. Hong Kong – Amazing. Vibrant. Unique. So unusual. It will be always in my heart. I started missing it as soon as walk to the plane.
Hong Kong is truly amazing place. It has everything. City blocks with unbelievable density of people living there. And areas which could be mistaken for remote nation park at some country …
Hong Kong is full of beautiful street art, just walk and watch for it. Some are in tiny, dark streets, some are part of shop decor like this one .. At evening, city transforms into something amazing. It looks like giant movie set with you as main character living in it…
At evening on Victoria Peak. Due to travel restrictions – practically no outside visitors, just Hongkongers who are enjoying views of they magnificent cites. One of hidden Hong Kong’s gems – Wun Chuen Sin Koon Temple, which is not far from Fanling MTR station.
December is over and my new album is finished. You would find some street shots there… Big boats … And small ones … Black and white … And of course tons of nature shots from hikes …
Sharp Peak is located in the far east corner of Sai Kung East Park. It is not easy to get to. Not easy to hike there. Some people think it is the most dangerous mountain for hiking in HK and this does has some merit. You can start from Park Tam Au and a round
Morning. 4am … Eyes wide shut … Direct injection of coffee … Camera bag … Taxi … 1 hour vertical hike …Sunrise … It was unexpectedly cold and super windy. At least I had a nice windbreaker and it saved me. I think Kowloon peak is one of the easiest places to see best sunrises
Another month – another album. Here you will find hidden alleys of Mong Kok. Streets of Wan Chai and Yau Ma Tei. A little bit of flowers. And a lot of B&W shots.
Take MTR to Tung Chung station. Then take bus 11 to Tai O and get off at Kwun Yam Temple. I don’t think it is open for public though. Walk along the road and after 50-70 meters turn left to another road that is closed for cars but has a gate. Keep walking along catch
Friday I took a day off. Had a quick breakfast at Fairwood. It was simple but absolutely decent one. Took an early train to Tung Chung, then Bus 11 to Tai O. Got of at Fat Hwa Yuen. A hidden road will be on you right. According to the map, it would lead to a
Early Saturday morning. My mission, that I chose to accept, was traveling from Jordan, Kowloon to Wan Chai, Hong Kong. Starting from Xiqu … Walking down Canton road … Passing by 1881 Heritage … Arriving to the historic Clock Tower … As usual, the promenade was full of morning runners … Hopped on Wan Chai
I live at the intersection of Jordan and Canton roads, so taking an MTR is a more logical choice for me but …Today I decided to take my favorite Star Ferry, so I grabbed my Panasonic GX9 with Leica 15/1.7, plugged in Sony Walkman into my ears with Joe Hasaishi and stepped out of the
I had a plan. A little bit crazy but still a plan. On Friday, after looking at clear skies I decided to load cameras, my windbreaker and some snacks into my backpack and went to Sai Kung. There I took a cab to High Island Reservoir East Dam, btw a driver wasn’t surprised! Right after
On your way to Sai Kung via Hiram’s Highway you may find Lions Nature Educational Center. As soon as you arrive there, right next to parking lot you will be greeted by small Arboretum. Truly magical place. If you come early in morning, you can witness how sun rays strike through trees and light them
Album is completed. Just one month from last one. May be I am taking too many photos? I do not care … I like it … Here are some …
Tsuen Wan is 25 min by MTR from Central. Exit B1. Walk 5 min and you will find Minibus 81. Take it and ride till its final stop. There you will find Yuen Yuen Institute which is part of a huge cluster of Buddhist temples. It is not that big but an interesting place with
Hong Kong Hotels … The Hotels … Real Five Star Hotels … They are not like in the rest of the world. The Murray is a perfect example. Located just behind Champion Tower and not that visible from tourists routes. Impeccable service? Yes, you can’t find it somewhere else. Exceptional food? Not a problem. There
I work in the office … I like to work there, people, atmosphere … I like going there … During my very first day, I almost lost my breath from astonishing views. Any window is like a view in a museum of modern art. Lippo Centre building above was designed by Paul Rudolph in Brutalism
No, I did not plan it. I did not want it. All what I was looking for was a simple 3 hours hike at Lam Tsuen with beautiful views of Shenzhen in a distance. Instead, I have gotten something else. When I just started, I noticed some smoke and smell of fire. As soon I
Skies are tricky in Hong Kong. Weather, clouds, everything changes so quickly. It is impossible to predict. Most of the times you can not even see sunsets, sunrises because everything is covered by dense clouds. But there is always a room for miracles. Today was a day. I saw something beautiful was coming. I grabbed
Sometimes I see Hong Kong as sort of “Swiss cheese” city. It has so many routes, paths, back alleys. You never know what is waiting for you up there. It may be charming huge murals. It may be unusual art pieces. Or you will see a restaurant employee taking a break. All I know it
B&W photos. Sometimes it is hard, sometimes it is easy. Colors? No Colors? I do not have an opinion. It depends. Depends on a subject. Situation. Light. On my mood, how I do see what is in front of me at this moment. I know only one thing – before I decide to make it
Coffee shops. All around world. Places where people do meet. Breakup. Having fun. Crying sometimes. These are wonderful places. %Arabica, small chain in Hong Kong. This one is located just across PMQ exceptional artistic place. I decided to grab cup of hand dripping liquid gold. It takes about 10 minutes to make. Waiting outside I
Just 30 min from center of one of the most fascinating megapolis on this planet. You can find absolute serenity. Beach. Promenade. Small but decent restaurants. Including German one with great beer and sausages. Just stroll over promenade and you will end up on ferry pier which will take you to Central in matter of
If you take MTR to Tsing Yi station and after bus NR330 (Exit C) and get off at very first stop. You will end up by entrance to Park Island estate. Actually big but beautiful and very quiet residence. Near will be a Ma Wan Tung Wan Beach. In just a 5 min walk, you
Yau Ma Tei, in end of 19 center it was just a small village name can be translated as “Oil-sesame field”. Now it is one of my favorite districts on Kowloon. Typical, true Hong Kong, full of charm and flavors. Where you can find practically anything Even chop blocks are for sale I can spend
Yes. Everybody who comes to HK goes there. It is a tourists place. No denying. But I love it. I do. Not at during day or evenings when it full of people. I love it at 6am. When early risers are doing their routine. When the rest of city is still asleep. So you can
It is interesting place. I never would imagine something like that in Hong Kong. You take MTR to Yuen Long and walk north. Away, from high rises and civilization. In 10 minutes you will arrive to small wooden pier, which seems like it was there for last hundred years. This tiny boat will take you
Not far from MTR University you can find Science Park. A place which is a little gem. It is a sort of a techno park for startups and alike. At the same time it has amazing architecture. Like Charles K. Kao Auditorium. Also you can find incredible Art pieces of modern art there. And then
Yes, in my mind, Old Georgetown is a capital of Graffiti. Not just some signs or gibberish patches of paint. I mean – Real, True Art. It is so deeply integrated in charm of city. Creating atmosphere that is impossible to find anywhere else. It is home of art work by incredible artists like Julia
Jane had a business trip to KL, I decided to join her so we can spend the weekend together. Did not had much time to do a photowalk but I managed some. I love Malaysia, it is an incredible country with deep and interesting history. So multi cultured, so complex and so simple. All at
This is my first visit in Angkor Wat. I wasn’t prepared. I did not know what to shoot. When to shoot. Agree, a lame excuse but it is true. I was just a tourist with a camera who is capable to wake up early. In order to see how billions of mosquitos are trying to
