Just a bit lower of Washington, a minutes away by train is mythical city of Alexandria. Not the Egyptian Alexandria, but the USA version. Controversial as it is, maybe was named after this great egyptian city to restore the glory and power of new civilisations that came to USA after European religious expells in 16th and 17th century. An independent city, located along the western bank … Continue reading Alexandria, USA
Historic Philadelphia amazed me with fll leaves and its tranquility. The Founding Fathers of the United States gathered here to develop the Free Masonry and build the country. They signed the Declaration of Independence in 1776 and the Constitution in 1787. Philadelphia at the time of the American Revolution, it was the largest and most important city in America.

Early fall in 2015 I have spent in the East cost of USA, visiting New York, Washington and Philadelphia. Each of those cities impressed me in a different way as each ofg them holds the unique atmosphere. Washington for example is a grid with many wide avenues.

The summerhouses were peaceful and surrounded with nice grass and … Continue reading Veere and canals, Netherlands
So modern, so vivid! The featured image explains the entire concept of this city: historical statues vs. modern buildings and institutions vs. hispterish restaurants. But I adore it! Especially because of the restaurants and the atmosphere created there.

Visiting Versailles is inevitable when you are visiting Paris. I took the 45 min train and decided to go for a one day trip. It all started as a humble hunting lodge in 1624 by Louis XIII, and then when king Louis XIV decided to move the residence from the center of Paris to build the Palace of Versailles. The entrance looks pretty amaizing: the … Continue reading Versailles castle, France

In 2025 The area’s development is linked to the Austro-Hungarian rule, with the Provincial Government taking over the spa in 1885, contributing to its development. Meaning, as the Habsburgs arrived to Bosnia and Herzegovina, they brought the music and culture in the city. It was my second time visiting this place. The water is still there. Crystal clear and calm. With more built concrete, though. … Continue reading Vrelo Bosnia
In 2025 Looming that region in the last few years, brought me different perspectives. Appreciation for the cultural diversity but in the same time, where this sudden cultural diversity is common from? It hasn’t been there for centuries. It’s quite recent. Arrival was hard. There is almost no highway except for some kilometeres of the Corridor Vc, which is highly sponsored by EU and Russia … Continue reading Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegowina
At the end of the Second World War, it was clear that the Belgian system of canals and waterways needed to be standardised and suitable for 1,350 tonne barges – a step up from the traditional fleet of barges used on the canals, with a maximum capacity of only 300 tonnes. Additionally, the European Conference of Transport Ministers in 1957 recommended that the canals be … Continue reading The boat lift of Strépy-Thieu, Belgium
