Magical Second Life
"Aruba, Jamaica, oh I want to take you to
Bermuda, Bahama, come on pretty mama
Key Largo, Montego, baby why don't we go
Oh I want to take you down to
Kokomo, we'll get there fast and then we'll take it slow
That's where we want to go, way down in Kokomo" - BeachBoys

Restored thatched cottage near Kilmuir on the Isle of Skye, Scotland. Part of the Museum of Island Life.
Beneath a vast Nordic sky, the rugged granite shores of Styrsö melt into the shimmering blue of Sweden's coastline. Crimson rooftops peek through emerald trees, their colors echoing the warmth of a summer village waking to the gentle hush of the archipelago. From the heights of Stora Rös, every glen reveals a tapestry of sea, stone, and serenity—a timeless Swedish landscape where land and water embrace in perfect harmony.
I truly appreciate every view, favorite, and thoughtful comment you share. Your support inspires me to continue exploring and capturing moments like this. Thank you for being an important part of my photography journey.
Punta Šilo, lighthouse for a safe harbour
At dusk, when the light fades into calm, the small lighthouse of Punta Šilo keeps silent watch over the sea — over stories of sailors, winds, and forgotten voyages.
Stone and salt, light and shadow — they meet here, on this quiet edge of the island.
Graffiti whisper of pirates and storms, yet the Adriatic breathes peace.
This lighthouse is more than a beacon for ships — it’s a symbol of homecoming, a guide for every soul seeking calm waters.
Punta Šilo, svjetionik za sigurnu luku
Na sumraku, kad se dan polako povlači prema tišini, laterna na Punti Šilo bdije nad morem — nad pričama pomoraca, ribara i vjetrova.
Kamen i sol, svjetlo i tama — sve se ovdje susreće.
Grafiti na kuli podsjećaju na gusare prošlih stoljeća, a more, vječno mirnije od svih naših nemira, zapljuskuje stijene kao da ih tješi.
Ova laterna nije samo orijentir za brodove — ona je poziv na povratak, svjetionik duše koji svima pokazuje put prema miru.
My gallery needed a bit of colour so while I was in a Thailand kinda mood thought I'd offer this sunset on the Andaman Sea after kayaking the ocean caves. It was such a peaceful time of day, especially after climbing back into your kayak and heading into a dark cave with your Krathong where the candles are lit, and the offering set afloat. It was a very zen moment. Have a fantastic week everyone !
Svitanja i zalasci u sigurnoj luci
Ako svaki gusar ima svoju sigurnu luku, onda je moja Šilo, na otoku Krku. Luka koja pruža zaklon od bure i juga, od svih vjetrova života. Luka u kojoj ljudi nose osmijeh kao najljepšu dobrodošlicu, i u kojoj svaki kamen pamti korake ribara i mornara.
Ova zelena laterna nije samo svjetlo – ona je znak prepoznavanja, simbol doma, tihog utočišta u kojem sam živio dio svoga života.
Šilo mi je dalo mirna jutra i zalaske koji su grijali dušu. Zato je ova fotografija mala zahvala i počast mjestu koje mi je bilo više od luke – bilo je dom.
Sunrises and sunsets in a safe harbor
If every sailor or pirate has a safe harbor, then mine would be Šilo, on the island of Krk. A harbor that shelters from the bora winds and the southern gales, from all storms of life. A harbor where people greet you with warmth, and where every stone remembers the steps of fishermen and seafarers.
This green lantern is more than light – it is a symbol of recognition, of home, of a quiet refuge where I once lived part of my life.
Šilo gave me serene mornings and sunsets that warmed my soul. This photograph is a small tribute to a place that was more than a harbor – it was home.
Ko Lipe is a Thai island in the Andaman Sea, near Malaysia's border. It's part of Tarutao National Marine Park, which is populated with small islands and known for its coral-rich waters.

INTO THE MYSTIC – VAN MORRISON
Happy Valentine's Day
You are the flame that lights up my heart
you are the warmth that holds me so I'm not alone in the dark
you are the reason I carry on every day
you are the sunshine that casts every sunrise my way
you are the one who lets me be me
you are the stars, the moon and the sea
you are the light shining bright in the night
you are the comfort that eases my plight
you are the one whose arms I want near me
you are the one whose charms still endear me
you are the one who inhabits my dreams
you are the one who stitches my seams
you are the one who keeps me from falling apart
you are the one who deserves all of my heart
Every day I swim; my life flows like a stream
every night I meet you in the land of my dreams
every life has a meaning and a means to go on
every heart may lay waiting for a love; for a song
I know what is real; I know what is not
but I'm happy to daydream; to feel; love a lot
in the blink of an eye we will fall into dust
but I carry you with me; in love I still trust
nothing detracts from a true loving heart
nothing subtracts though we are forever apart
I know I'm romantic; I know I'm a fool
let us be wrapped in my romance; let me give you my all
Happy Valentine's Day from my heart to yours
I will love you forever and forever be yours.
