Weekly Photo Challenge: Tiny ( Boat )

This week’s DP photo challenge theme is Tiny.

I suppose “tiny” is relative.

Things look small when compared with large objects in the surrounding.

This is an example; the photo was taken in Dubrovnik, Croatia.

The boat looks really small when compared with the castle standing on top of an island.

Even the bird on the right looks somewhat big.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Curve

This week’s DP challenge is Curve.

This castle in the Baltic is curve and rounded.

The whole masonry wall is cylindrical with small windows.

I especially like the texture of the wall which is so rugged and which gives the picture a special mood.

The Streets and Alleys of Baltic (30)

This picture marks the end of my series on streets and alleys of Baltic; I hope you enjoyed it.

For those who didn’t enjoy it, I send you my apology. For a series with 30 photos, some of them, I afraid, are not as good as the others.

I have been to all the Baltic capitals which includes visiting of some of the UNESCO Heritage sites like Vilnius, Riga, Tallinn etc.

What I found most interesting are the alleys and the streets which all have their own characteristics.

I am not able to tell you exactly where those alleys and streets are; in my simple mind, they are my memorable parts of the Baltic.

I like the cobblestones, the quaint street, the colored walls on both sides of the alleys, the cafes along or encroached onto the roads, the crude masonry wall facing and last, but not the least, the friendly people.

They leave an undeletable part in my memory!
