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

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.
Golden hour magic on Tebajima Island , the sun dips behind the hills painting the harbor in warm picks , orange and gold while the fishing boats rest quietly on the rippling water , a peaceful end to the day in this charming , car free corner of Shikoku Tebajima .
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.

“That we find a crystal or a poppy beautiful means that we are less alone, that we are more deeply inserted into existence than the course of a single life would lead us to believe.”
- John Berger

THESE ARE THE DAYS – VAN MORRISON
The fragility of roses, aconites and poppies too
the fragrance so delicate as memories of you
the perfume wafts through the warm Summer air
and settles in the palm of my hand
another gentle breeze and it is on it's way
maybe to the Pacific, who knows; who can say
to the waters as blue as a Himalayan poppy
to the land where tranquil emerald waterfalls flow
I listen to the silent notes
that exist between your hearts and mine
to the melody that runs through me;
to the tunes that I know
those precious echoes through time and space
no distance can dim their warm and gentle beat
or eradicate the sweet aroma you leave behind
that fills my nostrils with it's heady scent
I crush the petals beneath my bare feet
those velvet-coated ones that fell down
they will return to the soft furrows of this earth
enriching it and waiting for another such precious moment in time
when the seasons change and a chill may be felt
still my memories will keep me warm and icy days will gently melt
and pictures in the log fire will incite my imagination
making vivid all those good times that we had
and all those moments we've still yet to come
Our journey takes us far and wide
the boat docks at many a distant shore
where friends we loved became our Family
and deeper than a blood-tie we are bound together
sailing to the warm Pacific
to the Eastern land of all our dreams
where we will take cups of tea on camomile lawns
where a little rabbit plays happily with many cats
the sharp edges of reality once keenly felt
now softened by the fresh painted sweeps of an apricot dawn
and walk along the shores of a tranquil turquoise sea
with honey-combed rocks and distant mountain peaks
sweet cakes of all kinds and endless cups of tea
where all dreams come true and we no longer need seek
I will sing to you sweet lullabies that will lull you to sleep
and when you awake in the morning
the flowers will smell as sweet as all of our memories
and keepsakes will be tied with silk and velvet ribbons
sprinkled with rose water and wrapped within faded pages of lemon
and brought out when spirits need reviving
so that always when you sip your sweet cups of tea
you will keep me safe in your hearts my friends … my Family
and I will keep you in mine for all of eternity.
