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!

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!

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

2008-10-13T10:18:00.002+03:00

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 :)

@ london, uk

2008-10-10T16:07:00.002+03:00

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!

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..

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

2008-07-14T16:29:00.001+03:00

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

@ 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..

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..

@ safranbolu, turkey

2008-06-26T17:51:00.002+03:00

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

2008-06-26T17:42:00.001+03:00

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

@ amasra, turkey

2008-06-25T18:02:00.000+03:00

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

@ safranbolu, turkey

2008-06-25T18:00:00.000+03:00

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

2008-06-25T17:55:00.002+03:00

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 :(

@ safranbolu, turkey

2008-06-03T19:54:00.002+03:00

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

2008-06-03T19:48:00.002+03:00

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

2008-06-03T19:44:00.002+03:00

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..

this feeling of emptiness that resides in everything, including this gas station at 9am actullay does not make you feel alone.. and its also very esthetic for reasons i cannot define..
