Haha, I meant to post this as private. Oh well, here I am as Han Solo with my friends, Maleficent and Minnie Mouse. Enjoy! :D

Thought it was so cool that the tips of the matchsticks were green.
Aren't they usually red?
Three of the statues of the east pediment of the Parthenon of Athens, now in the British Museum.
The New Acropolis Museum is now open and is time for all the removed parts of the Parthenon to be united, to be returned to their birthplace. There are no more excuses for the British government and the British Museum which holds most of the Acropolis violently-removed parts.
Today, the new Acropolis Museum has a total area of 25,000 square meters, with exhibition space of over 14,000 square meters, ten times more than that of the old museum on the Hill of the Acropolis. The new Museum offers all the amenities expected in an international museum of the 21st century.
The Greek Minister's of Culture message for the museum follows:
.....................................................................................................................................................................
Welcome to the new Acropolis Museum. 188 years since the declaration of the Greek Independence, 33 years since Constantinos Karamanlis took the far-sighted decision to built it in this particular site, and 27 years since the campaign of Melina Merkouri, a duty is fulfilled and a dream is realized:
A whole nation’s duty to its own cultural heritage; the new Acropolis Museum. The paramount monument of Ancient Classical Times now has its own Museum – at last. In difficult times people need symbols to hold tight and stand straight. The Grand Opening of the new Acropolis Museum may be such a symbolic event. Where the Aesthetics of Logic, the Ethics of Freedom and the Rationality of Beauty, are all fused together and carved in stone for eternity. Acropolis hasn’t stayed intact over the centuries. Yet it is still radiating its Beauty and its Truth.
This unique embodiment of ideas, ideals, moral standards and aesthetic values is needed now, more than ever. And we enjoy these, for the first time in a Modern Museum deserving to the historical Monument. Take a tour in it. Appreciate its atmosphere and its exhibits. Be inspired by its transcending message. It is Greek because it is Ecumenical. It is ours only to share it with the rest of the World. And please, remember: What you will discover is not just a part of our History. It is also a part of our soul, of who we are…
There are strong, sacred bonds, connecting us with every single item, from the humblest archaeological fragment to the most ornate figure. All of the artifacts are parts of our soul… Mostly the ones missing! With the anticipation that eventually – better sooner than later – they will be re-united in their birth place and in the integral form they were meant to be.
Antonis C. Samaras
Minister of Culture

In the spring last year, myself and a few creative souls gathered at Castle Ashby Gardens to create some magic together and now I’m so excited to be able to share this shoot as it’s finally been published in beauNU Magazine.
Ella Sadika (an incredible watercolour artist and photographer), Bella Kotak (a wonderful photographer and floral queen!) and Yinsey Wang (a beautiful fantasy model and lawyer) wore dresses by designers This Modern Love Bridal and Audrey Ashley Couture in a ‘Three Graces’ inspired shoot. Makeup and hair wizardry was done by Minaz Mawjee and Victoria Leanne. We also had help from the insanely talented Pratik Naik.
I’m so lucky I got to shoot with people who inspire me daily. Thank you Yinsey for bringing us all together! ♥️
I filmed the day so will be posting a behind the scenes video in the next couple of weeks! 😊
in the serene silence of a cloudy morning, the boats rest calmly at the old port of saint-tropez. their reflections ripple gently across the still waters, creating a harmonious blend of man-made precision and natural beauty. the sleek designs of these modern vessels contrast with the timeless tranquility of the harbor, encapsulating a moment where luxury meets peace. this scene captures the essence of saint-tropez’s maritime allure, where each boat tells a story of adventure and elegance.

The Three Sisters are volcanic peaks that form a complex volcano in the U.S. state of Oregon. They are part of the Cascade Volcanic Arc, a segment of the Cascade Range in western North America extending from southern British Columbia through Washington and Oregon to Northern California. Each more than 10,000 feet (3,000 m) in elevation, they are the third-, fourth- and fifth-highest peaks in Oregon. Located in the Three Sisters Wilderness at the boundary of Lane and Deschutes counties and the Willamette and Deschutes national forests, they are about 10 miles (16 km) south of the nearest town, Sisters. Diverse species of flora and fauna inhabit the area, which is subject to frequent snowfall, occasional rain, and extreme temperature variation between seasons. The mountains, particularly South Sister, are popular destinations for climbing and scrambling.
Although they are often grouped together as one unit, the three mountains have their own individual geology and eruptive history. Neither North Sister nor Middle Sister has erupted in the last 14,000 years. South Sister last erupted about 2,000 years ago and might erupt in the future, threatening life within the region. After satellite imagery detected tectonic uplift near South Sister in 2000, the United States Geological Survey improved monitoring in the immediate area.
