Elba is an island at the western coast of Italy. Mostly known for being the last principality of Napoleon after being exiled from France. Also it is a place for many beautiful flowers growing all over the main town Portoferraio.
The natural beauty of Holland is stunning. You never stop to marvel when cycling around the vast and seemingly endless fields of the Netherlands. Especially in spring the country is beautiful, when the nature comes alive again and the tulips are in full bloom. Hop on the bike and take a ride with me!
Last summer I had the privilege to spend again some weeks in Latvia. The country situated in the center of the Baltics in Northeastern Europe. The population is concentrated mostly in the capital Riga and in other larger cities, while the countryside still maintained a lot of charm and beauty which is already gone elsewhere in Europe. Some impressions.

This post is part of the Greek Series, in which I recount my travel through Greece in pictures. So the first two entries were all about Athens, as it was the starting point of our journey. It’s time to get away from the city smog (and Athens has truly a lot of it). But not before I show you some impressions from above the city looking down on an amazing sea of urbanity. Most of Athens today is quite young actually, as the city regressed into a small town up to the 19th century. After the country gained independence from the Ottoman empire Athens became more and more important again and exploded truly during the 20th century into the metropole it today certainly is. There are some street shots in here as well, but most of the pictures were taken from one of the many hills of Athens with a beautiful blue sky as permanent background. The last one is a panorama.
