One day | Lyon, France
Slavka’s Over-arching: West Coast Love | California and Oregon, USA
My lovely and inspiring friend Slavka is not only my constant and gracious host in Barcelona but she’s also a great teller of stories and – I’m happy to say, she’s become a kind of regular contributor to this blog.
Her latest installment of photos is from her trip around the West Coast of the US this summer and it’s a true feast for the senses, if I ever saw one. Thank you, Slavi! :)

Good morning, San Francisco!: white fire escape flirting in white nightgown. Marie’s apartment building.

1920’s San Francisco: Madame Marie plasters her name all over a property that she was denied legal ownership of, out of fear it’ll turn into a brothel.

Wordless Wednesday: Movember | Montpellier, France
***Note: I think Movember is a very cool initiative and I’m as committed to the cause of men’s health as anybody, but this… this just seems like a bit much.***

Like mother, like daughter | Kuwait, Kuwait
I love these two photos that my mom recently sent me from Kuwait:
The first, because of how surreal the image looks of her feet standing over a map of the city and the Gulf …
…and the second, because of the nicely captured correspondence of shapes and colors and the reflections on the car’s hood.

Happy Sofia Day! | Sofia, Bulgaria
Today is the day of my beloved city of Sofia!
Here’s a longer and more detailed post about it. I’ve written about Sofia’s yellow cobblestones before – here and here, or you can check out this more recent and thoroughly-researched story about them (in Bulgarian).
