The mood : Beirut in May, Lebanon

The mood : Nile valley in the shadows, Egypt

Green Delight : Alhambra of Granada, Spain
The gardens might just be the best part of visiting the Alhambra. I love the fact that they manage to talk both about geometry and free-form. You might expect such an elegant place to have stuffy...

Feels special : tiny churches, Cantal, France
I‘ll gladly admit that I do enjoy visit churches, but it would also be true to say I’ve become quite picky over the years (Sicilian baroque will do that to you). Truth to be told, I didn’t come to...

Feels special : Les Puces, Saint-Ouen
