Lens-Artists PC: My 2018 in photos

Leya is asking us for the year 2018 in review and following my blog change I wish to reflect on my last year’s blog and choose some of my favourite moments, because what else are photos if not captured moments for (relative) eternity?

I had fun going through my previous blog to select some of the posts and photos that I’d like you to see (again), but when I got around setting up this post, I got frustrated with technicalities. I don’t like this new editor and my new theme has much fewer options than I’m used to.

So if my regular visitor is not familiar with any of the photos or a newcomer finds it interesting and wishes to see more, you can find the links in the two lists below with descriptions of the photos. (ADD-IT: Before the links were in dark green in captions but they were almost invisible so I deleted them.)

Another thing, peculiar to this theme, is that captions are only visible if you look at the post normally but if you open a photo in the gallery, they disappear. And this doesn’t make me happy at all.

My laziness is legendary and if I choose to break it, then at least my work should be worth it and visible. 😀

By pure chance (really) the first half of the photos is from Slovenia where I lived for 40+ years, and the second from Italy where I live now.

Slovenian moments include:

• the blank screen in the woods which everyone of us should fill as we please,
• flooded Podpeč Lake near Ljubljana in December,
• pensive bunny on the windowsill above my parents’ garden,
• a fully atypical basketball action scene (they had a trampoline),
• angels spotted at the concert of Brina up on the Ljubljana Castle,
• Savica waterfall,
• happy female dog wishing to play with our bestia,
• grapes from my other parents’ garden in Piran on the coast,
• a pastel sea scene,
• and the last one in the first half, a peculiar Celje castle scene featuring man, woman, view and snack.

The ten Italian scenes are as follows:

• ibis in the Maremma field,
• chard on the first snow in five years,
• all the colours,
• my seven book favourites,
• certain Honey above Orvieto,
• a door in San Galgano Abbey (with the link leading to my selection of 2018 Thursday Doors),
• an arch in Rome,
• pretty Massa Marittima,
• a boat on land by the lake,
• and finally, my bestia on TV, a photo from the last movie post on my old blog with flash reviews of almost 70 films and series.

These twenty glimpses are good representatives of my life. I dare say it’s colourful, abundant and peaceful. Let it stay this way. Always welcome to share it with me.
