P. S. Just a sunny song for the day.

the happiest country in the world.

photo via Pinterest
Once again Denmark reported to be the happiest country in the world. One funny fact from the article:
A high employment rate of 73% and a low percentage of 1.92% of employees working long hours contribute to high satisfaction levels. But overall, it is hard to pin down why those Danes are so darn happy.
Well, seems like nobody knows their secret!
I really admire this country, I've even learned Danish for a year (you can not imagine how hard it was!) and I hope I will go there someday and check up what they are hiding there:).
My sister was in Copenhagen last year and she brought me the little mermaid statue copy that is now by my window reminding me how much I want to go there:).
Just look at this photography blog, it's so beautiful!

Inspiration Monday.

30 people. 1 question.
What makes you happy? 
Check out the answers of strangers and think for yourself:).
My answer would be: stars.
Don't ask, it's just the first thing I thought about!
Have a happy week!

autumn memories: Trakai.

As I didn't make some photos from our trip last weekend, I've searched my computer for some old ones and I have to say - I have tons of photos I haven't shared yet. 
Here's what I've found - some beautiful photos from the trip to one of the most wonderful towns in Lithuania, Trakai. I was there with my parents and my sister last September celebrating her birthday.
Take a tour!

Remember that cool photography idea - Feet First - I told you about? 
Now I've found one more brilliant idea!
Natsumi Hayashi is a girl, who lives in Tokyo and photographs levitating self-portraits, how cool is that, ha?
Visit her page to see more!

feet first.

Have you heard about Tom Robinson photography? He makes these wonderful photos with feet in the first place in the picture!
What a hilarious idea, I love it!

As the new year started I decided to start a new blog serie called today I feel like, where I will be posting some photos around the web reflecting the mood of that day.
I hope you'll enjoy it! And here's the first post!
Keep warm,

Bamberg & Bayreuth.


Last weekend we had a trip to two Bavarian cities - Bamberg and Bayreuth. The most photos are from Bamberg - it's an incredibly charming city - take a look!
And also it is very interesting that Bamberg is one of the few cities in Germany that wasn't destroyed by World War II bombings because of a nearby Artillery Factory that prevented planes from getting near!
I recommend you to visit it yourself - it's absolutely lovely!

travelling + fashion photography.

One day a wonderful idea for one of my dream jobs came up to my mind - to travel around the world and to make fashion photos in historical places or in breathtaking nature backgrounds.
I can only dream of that, but yeah, it would be wonderful :).

what makes a good photo great?

This article from Life.com is a very nice way to learn a bit about photography while analyzing great shots - have a look!
It has 8 galleries: lightning, portraits, the unseen eye, looking for heroes, great NFL pics, influences, composition, photographers at work and travel.
Influences is absolutely my favorite!

Enjoy!

Incredible shots by russian photographer Alexis Perevoschikov! (the last one looks like from the novel the old man and the sea :) )

a stars death.

Incredibly beautiful animations by Texas photographer Ignacio Torres from his series Stellar.  
This project began from the theory that humans are made of cosmic matter as a result of a stars death. [...] Their movement serves as a visual metaphor to the spatial link we share with stars as well as their separateness through time.
Check it out, my lovelies!
