St. Patrick’s day parade in Cork 2012
The weather was remarkably good this morning. The sun was shining, loads of people went out on the streets dressed in green, there were children eveywhere waving Irish flags, farmer’s market was up and running on Grand parade. I just love St.Patrick’s day! [...]-
Evening view over Paris from the Eiffel Tower
The timing was pretty extreme, we decided to climb the Eiffel tower the same day we arrived to Paris, and of course we didn’t buy the tickets in advance, so we almost missed a very beautiful sunset. But we made it! [...] -
Halloween in Cork: street fashion
Last night I took my camera for a walk to take pictures of the Halloween costumes and people partying around. There were so many crazy awesome costumes and wild makeups! I never realized that on Halloween streets of Cork turn into one huge party. [...] -
Germany – Czech Republic car trip 2011
That was an incredible road trip. We got a car in Munich, went to Prague for 2 days, returned to Germany and drove round for 4 days, stayed in small hotels and tried local food on the way. We ended up in Prien am Chiemsee in the end. Read more for all posts and photos from that trip. [...] -
Prague from the Petřín Lookout Tower
Petřín Tower is very compact, and it’s pretty easy to take the stairs to the top and back . If the weather is clear you can see the whole Prague underneath. And the view is definitely worth it. Petřín Tower is famous for it’s resemblance with the Eiffel Tower, but it definitely has it's own character. [...] -
Aran Islands
This time we spent 3 days on Inis Mór in Kilmurvey b&b, had the best Irish stew every day. Also walked to Dún Aonghasa in the evening and caught a beautiful sunset. There was no one on the cliffs in that time, the wind was strong and the waves were high as never. [...] -
Abandoned Cork
If you go up the Barrack street in direction of the Bandon road you will find yourself in the area of empty shops, closed bars, abandoned takeaways. You can see, that some time ago this area was full of life. [...] -
Immigration paperwork in Ireland
Since I'm a Russian citizen I need a whole bunch of documents to stay and work in Ireland. I have to renew some of them every year, and I just finished that interesting process for this year, so I am ready to describe it. [...] Subscribe to blog updates!

Strange day, strange post
I’m having a tough day and I wanna think of something good. Of vacations, of taking a bus or a plane to some other town or country, of seeing something new, of doing something new. Or eating something new ) This picture I took during the tour through the Burren, it was a walking tour and we climbed all the way to the hill to look down the valley. I wish I were there now… P.S. Right now my condition can be described with this image:
Torc Waterfall, Ring of Kerry
I enjoy taking pictures of the water. You can leave me with a camera and a tripod near any kind of running water for hours and I won’t even notice how the time passes by. I love everything about it – how the water looks like on the photos with low exposure, how the splatters shine in the sun, how the water avoids rocks and trees on it’s way – everything. Too bad I rarely have an occasion to find myself full equipped near the waterfall. Those I took on the Torc waterfall, people had to drag me away all … Continue reading
DIngle peninsula, 2010
Dingle peninsula is known to be one of the tourist attractions in Ireland, though it’s not crowded at all. There is a lonely road along the coast, we were there in late summer and we could rarely see the other car there. Connor pass is the one that leads to this road through the mountains, and once you are there, you will find yourself in a very beautiful and very quiet place.
Fota Botanical garden, 2010
If you go through the Fota wildlife park to the end, you will find yourself in the Botanical garden. It’s located on the same Fota island, it’s pretty big and very well maintained. It’s a quiet place, looks like kids are more interested in zebras and parrots in the wildlife park than in herbs and trees. Well, it might be for the best) It’s very nice to walk there in summer when flowers are blooming, too bad I didn’t really have a lot of time for it, usually I got there by the end of the day when it was … Continue reading
Youghal, 2010
Suddenly found few pictures from one of our trips to Youghal in 2010. That time we took rubber boots (which we bought especially for this occasion) and walked along the shore in the water. Sounds a bit crazy, but it was actually really cool. I cant wait for the winter when the dawn is late so I could go there again when it’s dark and take pictures of the rising sun.
