Some time ago I went mountain hiking with my friends. We left Friday afternoon and left on Sunday so it was short, but intense. Snow had just fallen making the nature pure and beautiful - heaven for a man with his camera. Once again - thanks mates for taking me away from my computer and running me ragged over the hills.
See what I’ve seen here.

We’ve just got back from our honey moon. We went to see a beautiful city of Barcelona. Choosing cheap flight it possible for us to see a much smaller Girona as well. Generally we enjoyed our one-week trip but my feelings about Barcelona are a little contradictory.
The city is beautiful, with lots of architectural marvels and beautiful details looking at you from like every corner, every lamp post. And I don’t mean here only the famous Gaudi or Miró, but also a lot of secession (might be more than in Prague) that was untouched by wars. Unfortunately while being so breath-taking the city is also dirty, stinking and frightening. Dirt and stink are most likely the result of rubbish being thrown away right on the sidewalks (on the majority of the old town’s too-narrow streets there are no dust bins). Also the water stinks so much that we abandoned tea - it was unbearable without a glass of rum.
Also, the least pleasant was the amount of “imported Spaniards” that were up to no good during the day, not to mention the night… Don’t get me wrong. I am truly against racism but I just couldn’t help the impression (and they were not helping as well).
Girona on the other hand was only slightly less charming than Barcelona, but I felt much more confident there. Maybe it was because there were at least some people that speak English there (in BarÇa even in the hostel there was problem with it), maybe because it’s a smaller city, maybe because it was clean and water didn’t have a taste. Anyway I recommend spending some time in this city. It was enjoyable despite the rain (which Gosia was really not happy about - see picutres)…
Enjoy the galleries,

We’ve spent the New Year’s eve in the mountains with friends. Finally I had some time to take some pictures and I am proud of the results (esp. portraits). Unfortunately some of them were lost due to the broken PQI SD card (not the first one btw). Aaagghh! Remember never to buy one!
Have a look,
Jan
