had a little deja-vu in a cool little optic store in kensington with cedric! the deja-vu ended with a deja-buy, that left a little dent on my credit card for which we say deja-ouw!
@ london, uk
as far as new finds go, I spotted this witty place called "tossed".. it has a cool slogan too "turn over a new leaf" :).. it's basically a healthy fast food store.. they've created a real dialogue with the consumer.. the concept is making healthy eating fun.. the way it should be! right on!

i am not one to go nuts about baby shoes.. but these tiny winy little ballet shoes take the cake..

@ london, uk


graffiti on tate modern?!!! I thought this day would never come; oh rejoice little one! and this isn't the only one.. and may i exaggerate the huuuuge in huge, when i say there are 4 huge graffitis on the old factory walls.. i got the chance to witness the creation of one of them..
@ london, uk

a wif of china in the middle of town.. its like a little trick being played on your head, some sort of mirage - making you feel like you are someplace else (hence finding comfort since you have managed to get away) but in fact two streets down you're in the middle of piccadily square :)

was pleasently surprised to find such a different architecture in an area full of such ordinary buildings.. it speaks out, and says here i am, and here i'll stand!
@ london, uk
neal's yard.. hidden in a side street around covent garden.. its like a safe-haven for the part of us that wants to find the real in the unreal that people think is real :).. a little expedition in the urban suburban..

@ london, uk


is it hot or is it not? some say its serious some say its just yellow? i would say what's your take but i doubt i'll get a response for such a silly thing as french's classic yellow..

@ brussels, belgium


the greatest use of wall space i have ever seen.. this is the building front (that was probably burnt) with only strips of wood.. the way they have applied the picture on it is truly amazing.. you can see it when you are far, but when you get close not so recognizable..

@ brussels, belgium



i am truly mesmerized by the graffiti in this town.. they have creatively used the shutters of shops..

@ brussels, belgium

more shutter graffiti..
this one reminds me of my friend known as "meyan koku" or "betty boop" :)
@ brussels, belgium

(whistle sound)
part of the comic strip in brussels.. great many comics like the daltons, tintin came out of belgium.. around the city they have outdoor applications of these comics on walls or as statues.. there is a strip you can walk and check them out.. great fun..
@ brussels, belgium

couldn't help myself but had to feature this little bugger that belgium markets so well.. did you know this guy has hundreds of outfits and sometimes pees in beer..
@ brussels, belgium

my favorite corner in all of bruges.. "the chocolate corner".. i am human after all :) let's correct that as female human :)
@ bruges, belgium


and hello sir!!

you can take a ride on one of these beauties around the city.

@ bruges, belgium



proof that there is alien life on the moon.. the moon in bruges that is..

@ bruges, belgium



clog-pot?! :)
clogs used as flower pots.. love the idea and the implementation..

@ bruges, belgium

nearly post-card picture of the canals in bruges.. if only the sky was a little less gloomy, and a little more blue..

"knock-knock"..

"who's there?"

"tozgito, that's who!" :)

@ safranbolu, turkey



this is the original hamam sign of the one and only hamam in safranbolu.. check out the number of digits on the phone number! isn't that a laugh!

@ safranbolu, turkey



local creative solution on how to stop cars!

this is just so creative.. they use these as car stoppers on streets, so they don't sneak into the pedestrian area.. shaped just like a typical safranbolu house.. love'm..

for some reason i really relate to this visual.. it might be just a door handle held together with a green band.. but for me it represents something much more, like dual-infinity..

@ yorukkoy, turkey


this used to be one great fish restaurant, but of course like everything that gets popular I have lost all interest.. however, if you are to go to amasra during a weekday than I still recommend it.. on the weekend there is 30 min - 1 hour wait and trust me it ain't worth it

and yet another interesting street sign I encounter.. it says "wear your barret".. shall do captain!!

@ safranbolu, turkey



this picture pretty much describes the area in general.. buildings, nature, people, they are all rolled into one.. complementing each other beautifully and more importantly peacefully co-existing together..

@ yorukkoy, turkey


the end of civilisation as we know it?!!
no no, just kidding.. its just one corner of a busy street that look's forgotten.. but then if you were to ask the locals, they truly believe that they are forgotten.. hmm sad :(

ok now that is something.. the air-conditioner is being used as an eye.. and if you look carefully there is a hand holding a cell-phone.. basically another object (have no idea what) that's stuck on the building is being used as for the mobile.. if you want to take it to another level, you could say the lamp is representing the third-eye.. but i think that is going a bit too far wouldn't you say.. :)
@ granada, spain


well hello kitty-cat!! was not expecting you here.. more creative use of graffiti.. give me more!

@ granada, spain



and voila the giagantor alhambra palace.. well this is only one little bit of it.. they should put it on the top 10 palaces to visit before you die list.. and might i add, they love their water this lot..

@ granada, spain



this is the upper side of alhambra palace, called "general-life".. have no idea why they call it that.. but it basically was there chill out place during the summer.. the gardens are absolutely amazing..

@ granada, spain



i'm not at all a polito person but love the simplicity of the banner.. has a "che" feel about it..

@ granada, spain



beautifully decorated house exterior.. flowers, pots & pans, and what have you.. "genious i tell you, genious":)

@ granada, spain



an interesting take on street signs.. cool girl about the cross the street, get ready to rumble?!!..

@ granada, spain



the double-decker bike!

you can rent one of these and take it to a spin around the maria-louise park.. it's hard to control but definetely great fun.. don't drink and drive.. trust me..

@ sevilla, spain



meat-packing district?!!..

might as well call it the meat-packing district.. this is your usual restaurant / bar with meat hanging from the walls.. don't know whether to find it estethic or disgusting..

@ sevilla, spain


sevilla on wheels!..
insert coin, take out bike, ride bike, return bike.. great system!!
@ sevilla, spain

all building corners, store fronts, side streets are like this.. its like art is squishing (even) out of the buildings..
@ sevilla, spain

cyclo-estetico..
its like a post-card picture (not the touristy kind though, i'm talking about the cool ones you want to collect)
@ sevilla, spain


gothic in a nice way..

the light fixtures are just amazing.. much like the doors, railings, and what not

stop global warming.. agreed but unfortunate to see this grafiti,
1- in the remotest of places where noone can see
2- in an area where there is 0 pollution, and maksimum nature..
@ gumusluk/bodrum, turkey

this one is for "my precious" :)..
@bodrum, turkey

the light at the end of the tunnel?
@ bodrum castle, turkey


i don't know why but it looks like this cafe is being operated by ghosts or something.. and i have no idea why i am getting this obsessed with taking pictures of chairs :)

@ kartalkaya, turkey..

kartalkaya was never kinder.. great snow, clear blue skies, and empty slopes..

what looks like lovely cafes on the beautiful island, is totally inaccessible during the holidays.. so don't make the same mistake, get your timing right..

@ suomenlinna island, finland



the modern art museum, kiasma, is worth while seeing for its zen-like architecture, but can't say the same for the content..
