Wesley House
2020-07-03 22:31:11 UTCFor the first time this year, I didn't write my Saturday blog for two weeks in a row. Good to be back after this unexpected break. The restrictions have been loosened a bit so it would seem that it will be easier to reach certain places. Not necessarily. Several areas…

Power plants
2020-06-12 20:18:03 UTCThere are places that you can’t always enter, let alone photograph. Places that are often fascinating and full of magic. This fascination can be based on various premises.

Texaco House

2020-04-09 22:48:03 UTCSomething completely different today. A few ordinary snapshots from a mobile phone that don’t bring anything special except documenting the moment.

Short break
2020-02-07 22:10:56 UTCIn a post last week I wrote about my fast changing neighbourhood. However, this does not apply to the entire area. There are still places here that are slightly different.
