The mighty #Arena of #Pula — where gladiators once clashed, emperors feigned interest, and locals today battle for the best selfie angle. Built by the Romans, preserved by time, and now occasionally hosting concerts and confused tourists in sandals.
Perched in quiet contemplation, this exquisite mandrill seems the very portrait of philosophical melancholy — as though pondering the futility of peeling yet another banana in a world so rarely appreciative of one’s splendidly coloured face.

A Dutch dawn so exquisitely painted by nature herself, one could almost hear the soft creak of the windmill offering its morning curtsy to the sun. Mist lingers like a bashful guest, unwilling to leave the splendour of such serene company. #photography #windmill #dawn #dutch #morning
Behold: a #medieval shortcut that doubled as a drainage system, lovers’ hideout, and occasional pigeon parliament. Note the elegant archwork: painstakingly designed to last centuries, only to be decorated by graffiti artists with questionable spelling skills.

#Grožnjan! Where every cobblestone whispers sonnets and even the shutters are more vibrant than your cousin’s Instagram filter. Once a medieval stronghold, now a bohemian haven where vines, art, and gossip all grow with wild abandon.

Ah, Rovinj! Like stumbling into a Mediterranean fairytale penned by an overenthusiastic Romantic. Cobblestones whisper history, shutters flirt with the sun, and even the sea seems to sigh in five languages. Quite unreasonably lovely, really.

Behold the mighty dragon of #Ljubljana, forever guarding the bridge and judging your selfie skills. Legend says if a virgin crosses, the dragon wags its tail. Locals say that's why it’s been suspiciously still since the 1800s.

In 2025, citizens re-enacted the ancient ritual of “Waiting for the Bus,” a solemn rite involving strategic foot shuffling, passive-aggressive glances at watches, and silent curses to public transport gods. Historians agree: patience peaked at 9:47 AM.

Caught this moment where light and structure come together just right. I love how the clean lines, textures, and angles play off each other—simple, intentional design that quietly connects with its surroundings.

Ah yes, behold Seattle’s Olive Way: where buildings try to outgrow each other, the monorail photobombs your skyline shot, and the street signs are our subtle way of saying “good luck navigating this urban Jenga set.”

Ah yes, the rare and elusive Reading Nookus Maximus—often found nesting between oversized letters and devouring chapter books like snacks. Clearly, literacy and lounge skills are at an all-time high!

Wandered into this quiet little spot on the Washington coast—looked like a hotel, felt like a Wes Anderson set. The sky was brooding, the water was calm, and the whole scene whispered, “Stay a while… or at least snap a photo.”

Indeed it is. A beautiful mansion with a fascinating history!
A Victorian mansion so gloriously overbuilt, it’s as if a castle and a gingerbread house eloped during the Industrial Revolution. A triumph of turrets, chimneys, and "because we can" architecture. Drafty? Absolutely. Fabulous? Indubitably.

Here we observe the elusive Homo sapiens' attempt at zen—surrounding themselves with koi, lanterns, and carefully curated chaos—proving once again that inner peace is best achieved with a leaf blower and a landscaping budget.

Meet the emperor of existential crises: the black #tamarin. Majestic, fluffy, and currently contemplating why bananas exist. Evolution didn’t prepare him for Mondays either.

Behold the architect’s crowning glory: a giant set of glowing chopsticks locked in eternal combat, right in the heart of downtown #Vancouver. Officially, it’s the Olympic Cauldron—but he swears it’s just a Transformer’s idea of a cozy bonfire.

Proof that the best urban planning includes a neon pink elephant, a bike lane, and a one-way to fabulous. Welcome to Seattle, where even your car wash has better branding than your startup.

The Met! Where New York's finest collection of ancient stone stares eternally into the middle distance, wondering why humans still wear Crocs. Corinthian columns, dramatic skylights, and enough marble to make Caesar blush—truly a temple of culture (and confused tourists).

Wauw, wat een plaatje!
The ancient dolmen of Drenthe—proof that even 5,000 years ago, people struggled with IKEA instructions and just stacked the stones instead. A prehistoric "open plan" tomb with excellent natural ventilation!
