This is a story from another planet, a story from a place so distant and different - it blows your mind off when you discover it exists. First it feels like you land on Mars (you obviously know that feeling ;)). Next thing you know you are taking a moon drive to the nearest city through those empty lava fields with sharp edged mountains right above the horizon being surrounded by the black and gray perfect emptiness with midnight sun as your companion. From time to time you come across patches of land covered with violet lupins - making the whole place look even more majestic and surreal.

This strange yet beautiful planet has so many things to discover - from rocks to fresh bright greenery, from glacier ice to boiling pools of water, geysers, bubbling mud pools, gorgeous empty black sandy beaches, chilly winds, volcanoes with ridiculously long names ;), huge glaciers, iceberg lakes, whales and arctic dolphins, dwarf trees, thermal streams, rainbow coloured mountains, amazing waterfalls, milky blue lagoons of purest warm water - I could go on...

The attractions will be different from usual - walking to a glacier and trying some 1000 year old water (this water is probably the purest in the world); taking a bath in turquoise steamy pools - this is my big favourite! :); coming eye-to-eye with sleek, spouting whales in the Northern Iceland; getting curious about Icelandic language and people.

I couldn't have enough of the cinematic weirdness of the Icelandic nature, and I couldn't stop but post this many pictures capturing this ever-changing volcanic laboratory.

Little Things

wick(end)ness

All things lavish and beautiful, all the torn notes and salty tears, all the rhythms of life and the rhymes, all the burning feelings, the ever impatient anticipations, the pains of pleasure, the charms of sopot nights, attention, the memory losses and cigarettes, easily distracted and frequently contradicted, the self destruction theories, mad to live, mad to talk, desirous of everything at the same time, all the conversations with strange people, the sunrise at the beach, the redbull insomnia, the naked and famous, the warmths of nights, the nights of warmths, the serious conversations.. and the 2nd first time...

!!!

This is exactly how I feel right now. They couldn't have said this better..!

Don't you think there's something lovely about growing up and still being friends with the people you knew in school - even better - watching your friends create beautiful things, get awesome jobs, make a name for themselves and succeed!
