I spent the last two days without my glasses – I was a bit clumsy and than gravity did the rest. It was a strange feeling, walking around and seeing the world slightly out of focus. And even more interesting to take photos – I just framed and press the button. It was only after I took a photo, that I was able to see the image clearly on camera’s screen.

But I was nevertheless able to notice this tiny material evidence of the turbulent history of Piran. BTW, I found several groups on Flickr that collect sequential numbers. What weirdos :))

We spent a very nice week with our friend Chie and since it was not her first time in Slovenia, we didn’t have to run from one tourist sight to another but could spend the days more in a more relaxed manner, enjoying our many coffees, teas, cooking, eating and having fun with Tamara.
But we did browse the Ljubljana flea market and visited Piran yesterday. Must admit it was unusual to be on the seaside on a working day and during high season – but to just stay there for a few hours (plus not to jump into the inviting water). And I should not forget the many sweets, ranging from Trojane doughnuts to kremšnite that I brought from Novo mesto where I was a guest speaker at documentary photography festival Fotopub. It felt a bit strange, just few years ago I was considering attending the workshops and now, I was invited to give a talk :))
