Today and till Monday I am going to post some of the photos of my last trip to Brunei. Traditional dresses for the pupils, laughing and smiling as soon as they saw me with my camera. Brunei does not have too many tourists, in fact we met less than 10 tourists in 3 days. There is not much advertisement about this country, however, →

Today and till Monday I am going to post some of the photos of my last trip to Brunei. The water village in the capital is an incredible place to wonder around. People have been living here for so many generations that they do not even know what is a car.

Today and till Monday I am going to post some of the photos of my last trip to Brunei. Lovely kids greeting us during the lunch break. We were on a water taxi around the water village. Take an hour trip and enjoy every single minute. Our taxi driver even took us to his house to meet his kids

Today and till Monday I am going to post some of the photos of my last trip to Brunei. No trams, no buses, no bicycles, just water taxis all around. This is the water village, right in the capital of Brunei, a place you should visit if you are in Brunei. You can easily spend a day walking here and there. →

Today and till Monday I am going to post some of the photos of my last trip to Brunei. Smiling pupils walking home after the school. Whenever the kids saw me with the camera they were rushing and running towards me to be sure to be in the next photo. I loved the spontaneity of them. Eastern long weekend - People of Brunei →


Melbourne Daily Photo – Fishing on a paint

Melbourne-Daily-Photo-Blog-Beach- Harbour- Port Melbourne-PortMelbourne_20121216_065_6_7-Edit-Edit-2

I wanted to give a sense of fairy tale to this photo, almost a paint. This is a magic place in Middle Park, where fishermen meet on sunset to spend few hours catching fish, or just having a chat, breathing the sea breeze.


Melbourne Daily Photo – Lonely pray in St Patrick’s Cathedral

Melbourne-Daily-Photo-Blog-Cathedral- cbd- Church- Saint Patrick-CBD_20130130_016

I like this photo because it gives a sense of loneliness but, at the same time, a sense of fullness with the light coming from the windows, and eventually from the sky, almost to create a link with something, or somebody, above all of us.

I have been attending the festival for many years but I have never seen such a crowd, all singing the Cat Empire lyrics, awesome. Unfortunately there was not much space left to even take the camera out of my bag and I decided to do a panorama photo with my mobile. The end result was quite good, much better than →

Daily Photo – Protesting and remembering Weekend – Kiev

Melbourne-Daily-Photo-Blog-Kiev- People- Portfolio- Ukraine-Kiev_43_20110704-2

I was impressed by the protests running in Kiev along my Ukrainian trip. Young police versus over 80s protesters. Golia vs. David, the power and the people ....and the power won again last week, in a far too predictable election

Melbourne-Daily-Photo-Blog-Kiev- People- Portfolio- Ukraine-Kiev_216_20110718

The Dnieper river in Kiev/Ukraine is most probably polluted, however this does not stop locals to have a stroll at the beach and have a swim in the summer months. Lovely area to spend a Sunday sun bathing This is another photo that I am adding to my portfolio, soon to be published. Stay tuned!!

I was in a Monastery in China and this monk was meditating on a chair, quite unusual, or maybe he was just contemplating about the life. It is the same? This is another photo that I am adding to my portfolio, soon to be published. Stay tuned!!

Melbourne-Daily-Photo-Blog--Docklands_20120910_041
