Look

It was a bay window around a corner of a building in Ljubljana. The climate was nice and dry, so they have very clean streets and buildings. The decoration on building was astonishing. Lots of harmonic details. They would not miss any details. I chose this view because the sculpted stone head was looking down on me. I had a good time by meeting some good old friends from Brazil.

The Patio

This lovely apartment patio, I guessed, was taken from the street during the sunset. A peaceful city as it is, and there are lots of historical buildings and landscapes. The red wine was amazingly sweet, and I had a big bottle of wine. The city's tempo was slow and easy. Most of people rushes to the limited beach line during the weekends. All stuffs are imported, so the expense is high.

Ljubljana

Section Ljubljana, Slovenia

I traveled from Venice, Italy to Ljubljana, Slovenia for a two-week of Summer School in 1995. This was a shot of iron spiral stair case in a castel of Ljubljana. I just stick my camera between bars and took the shot, and it turned out to be good. Slovenia was part of Yogosloavia before, and it has different architecture style.

St. Marco Plaza

It was an early morning with misty vision. Hounds of people were there to observe a ceremony. Tourists grouped around the tour-guide for introductions. The air was filled with joys. I was excited to capture images into my camera.

Venice Street

They are saying: "As a tourist, you have right and previlige of getting lost in Venice." I enjoyed walking around without worrying to be lost forever, because you'll always be able to find yourself in a different part of islands, and it felt good to be lost. The whole city is decorated with love and hospitality. I prefer Chicagoan Pizza, compared with original Itlian Pizza. I was spoiled, I guess. On the train entering Venice, a mid-aged lady (from Central America) said to me, "I was here with my parents 20 years ago, and it (Venice) changes not a bit." I forgot to tell her, "I will come visit Venice in 20 years too."

Cathedral

This is the famous Cathedral in Milano. I was ther for my Summer School, so I did not plan my trip well, and sometimes I learned the history on during the nights in Youth Hostel. I probably missed several famous sites too. That did not matter, since I still got some nice photos from this two-week trip in Italy. Hope you enjoy what you see now, and plan well before you go. Having a partner is the best thing. Without religions, the ancient Western and Oriental Arts will not be well preserved.

Milano

Section Italy

The first I arived to Milan, Italy from USA. I was attracted to a paire of huge wood carved gates, so I entered this residential hall. It's full of the European artistic atmosphere. It was noisy outside, but quite inside. This was a start of a tiring trip but unforgettable in 1995.
