Drawn Light

The red Queen of the sky

The beach is always the best place to dedicate a tiny moment for yourself. Even if you're not alone but with others who came to say hello or goodbye for the Queen of the sky. A cosy white noise of the swash surrounds everyone with unifying feeling. We all hear the same water, we all see the same sun, however, we all are with different minds and feelings. Enjoy the wonderful sunset, always find some time for yourself.

Spring is in the air

noreply@blogger.com (Rimantė) — Mon, 07 Apr 2014 11:08:00 +0000

There are so many things to do in the park. That is how Amsterdam Westerpark looks like in warm spring afternoon. Each patch of the grass is occupied and valuable. Would you like to dance, sing, read or just chill in? Whatever you enjoy... Spring is always welcome!

Paris Mon Amour. Part II

noreply@blogger.com (Rimantė) — Thu, 29 Aug 2013 16:00:00 +0000

By naming the previous post "Part I" I kind of promised that there will a countunuation. But this time I'm leaving aside Parisians and concentrate mostly on the city as it is itself. Just few shots, but the ones I like the most :)

Paris Mon Amour. Part I. People.

noreply@blogger.com (Rimantė) — Wed, 31 Jul 2013 18:38:00 +0000

Few weeks ago I made my dream come true. I visited city of Paris. So many things to see, so many people to observe... too many pictures to review!!! But finally, I've selected few shots in different areas. Today I'm introducing you with people I met on my way in beautiful Parisian streets... Sad that I was not enough brave to make pictures of people who were sitting in cozy restaurants. They all looked so relaxed, laughing a lot, stylish... Like in movies about Paris. Here you go, please welcome some charming Parisians.

Impression: Rijksmuseum

noreply@blogger.com (Rimantė) — Wed, 12 Jun 2013 14:05:00 +0000

On my days off I had a memorable visit to Dutch National Museum - Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. As far as I know it's the biggest museum in Holland, famous not only for Rembrant or Vermeer paintings, but also for incredible lines to buy a ticket. I took this challenge and entered museum in 15 min. I believe, I was just lucky to come in a right moment. After many years of renovation, the museum looks amazing. Modern comfort still has that past spirit and segregates you from nowadays life...

Here are some delighted visitors and a few shots of details.

Blue vintage

noreply@blogger.com (Rimantė) — Wed, 29 May 2013 13:31:00 +0000

How do you like this blue vintage bike? Reminds me my childhood around 1993. I remember my parents bought me an orange bike, a bit smaller than this one. It was called "Kregždutė" (engl. swallow). I believe I was really quick learner, despite few scratches I could cycle the same day as I started. Guess what? My mom is still cycling it :)

Past In Brown

noreply@blogger.com (Rimantė) — Fri, 26 Apr 2013 12:35:00 +0000

I have just found a beauty in brown. Have you ever felt like you are in the past? Those people walking in the same streets, of course, just few decades ago. I'm always into vintage things. At some point, that strange habit to look into the past is my enemy. One day I'll capture a future. A futurama - any ideas what it could be?

Remember summer in spring

noreply@blogger.com (Rimantė) — Tue, 09 Apr 2013 12:11:00 +0000

Can't wait anymore! Seems to be much warmer than one week ago, but still, my dreams about summer don't leave me. My patience is running out. Summer, please come back, bring us fields of flowers, warm rain, happy faces... Anyway, in memory of last summer, I am sharing with you my humble colection of flowers. I hope those pictures will flood you with warm sunny feelings at least for a moment.

Mini fantasy

noreply@blogger.com (Rimantė) — Wed, 03 Apr 2013 17:07:00 +0000

This weekend I was visiting mini Holland park in the Hague. Mini cities, streets, people.. I was really impressed by details. One thing is to exhibit a mini church, but it's absolutely different and challenging to make the streets look alive. It seems that those fake people are hurrying, working, some of them are chilling in cozy cafes. I was wondering what is going on at dark night there? Fake becomes real?..

Red, blue and white

noreply@blogger.com (Rimantė) — Tue, 26 Mar 2013 13:53:00 +0000

Sailor's colors. Red, blue and white. Let's assume, that we follow marine fashion, which always looks amazing. I couldn't find any handsome sailor on this berth, but, anyway, water and ships have always been relaxing for me. Enjoy that sun play on the decks!

Shapes in B&W

noreply@blogger.com (Rimantė) — Tue, 19 Mar 2013 16:40:00 +0000

Here is a proof that blck & white colors are the best tool to highlight shapes. I could confidently state, that city of Amsterdam is full of various shapes. This time I am revealing modern side of Amsterdam.

Bikes of Amsterdam

noreply@blogger.com (Rimantė) — Thu, 24 Jan 2013 10:38:00 +0000

As at the moment I'm living in The Netherlands I can't miss nice shots of bicycles. They are everywhere - in my yard, on my way to work, next to the bus stops and also unexpected places, for example, trees. So, I decided to make series of pictures with bikes. Of course, not only duch bikes, but also from all over the world where my camera will be able to get in. For a very beginning, I share some pictures of waiting, frozen bikes, some of them looks even in love...

Night lights

noreply@blogger.com (Rimantė) — Sat, 17 Nov 2012 20:39:00 +0000

Tonight I had a cosy seaside city walk. Used to live here... Nice memories - the sound of the North sea, warm evening windows, thin cafes - that's how Zandvoort looks like when summer season is over. I invite you to experience these sentimental moments together with me.

Autumn still here

noreply@blogger.com (Rimantė) — Fri, 09 Nov 2012 10:47:00 +0000

I could not say that Holland is famous in beauty of nature, but for sure I can admit that dutch people do they best to create nice environment for their daily lives. Even in high developed infrastructure you can find a cosy piece of nature. Here are some shots from autumnal parks in The Netherlands.

Amsterdam Marathon 2012

noreply@blogger.com (Rimantė) — Mon, 29 Oct 2012 22:14:00 +0000

Amsterdam marathon - my first marathon I have ever seen! Around 37 000 participants! Here are some moments I caught.

Welcome to the club

noreply@blogger.com (Rimantė) — Mon, 22 Oct 2012 17:39:00 +0000

My first hello to my readers! :) Do you have a pleasant activity which is probably forgotten because of continuous lack of time? I'm sure you do. But did you know that officially "lack of time" is called ''I'm so lazy to do what I like"? So, one day I realised that all I do in this short life is ''sleeping, eating, and working''. I have passion for photography, I have a camera, I even have a photography book, but what about this? Nothing. I'm always pretending that I don't have time for this. But from now on I have time for everything and everybody I love. This blog is my public promise and you are my witness. So, welcome to the club!

As the Autumn is going to the end and the nature is in the peak of it's beauty I post my firs autumnal shots. Hope you enjoy:)
