More Street Art in Oslo

It seems like I see the streets of Oslo with new eyes, enhanced and re-focused by Bulgaria. I am excited that while we are finishing up with our tasks here and finishing decluttering our belongings we still have time to marvel at the world outside.

Beauty can be found not only in Nature. even though cities are considered the root source of most modern vices I know that if you want to you can stand in awe like a little child in front of details that never existed for other people.

Street Art in Oslo

The mysterious beauty of Bulgaria unlocked my attraction to street art and here I am back to Norway, noticing for the first time ever the incredible street art along the streets of Oslo. The grey walls seem to have changed dress just like the trees, living through an eternal autumn thanks to unknown artists.

Enjoy.

Travel Inspiration: Noticing Nature

In the heat of autumn, our favorite season we set on a long journey. From a mild young autumn in South-Eastern Europe  we landed to a Scandinavian autumn at its best - bright blue sky, fresh air and trees with burning colors.

This expedition was not about sightseeing or noticing nature. On the contrary, we had a lot to settle, stuff to organize and get rid of because we like to keep our life uncluttered. Plus, we cannot move everything we own to each country we decide to spend a year in.

But we're dreamers, the Doctor and I, and true to ourselves we always sneak some delightful moments into the whole organizing, selecting, and going-crazy-with-documents procedure. 

In other words, I feel the urge to tell you: Don't forget that however busy you think you are, you always have time to notice nature and to recharge. You can choose to be positive and in control of your inner peace. Just go outside and surrender to the magic of Nature.

The walks we took  in-between our tasks were so uplifting and inspiring and helped us glide through the supposedly stressful days excited and full with energy. 

Here are the colors of autumn in Norway through our delighted eyes. The trees were screaming with color and yet they remained gracefully mysterious, wearing their autumn dresses with dignity and poise. 

I wish I could have a whole year of quiet autumn.

No post-processing has been done on these photos, they come straight from the camera.

Street Art in Bulgaria: The Knight

I have never felt fascinated by street art. But as I go along the cobbled streets of Veliko Tarnovo in Bulgaria I cannot fail to notice and to document so many beautiful paintings that blend perfectly with their surroundings.

Look at this red-bearded knight, it seems that his beard is stuck under the door, maybe that's why there is sadness in his eyes.
