..Global Summer#22 of Yiorgos Kordakis.

Met his work at Contemporary Istanbul this

week and became a fan.

It was a pleasent surprise to find out that

he'd photographed (in addition to many

other beautiful spaces)one of the showrooms

of my former office ,Moda Bagno in Greece =)

My classic winter's dream..

noreply@blogger.com (Banushka) — Fri, 11 Nov 2011 13:29:00 +0000

Normally if I go to work on a rainy day I always dream of being at home ,not struggling my way through the rain but watching it by my window and sipping my coffee.
Today because I'm sick and at home I'm living yet another dream of mine. I'm watching the Bridge of Bosphorus from my window.. Let me make a cup of coffee to celebrate..

Orkin's NY

I've took this pic in Monterosso / Cinque Terre outside an art gallery. Powerful work by Ruth Orkin. When I look her up on the internet I saw that she was a free soul and doing what she likes most and highly successing. By the way , this turns out to be the most well known picture of her.

One wish come true..Check!

This summer was so full of work and stress that I couldn't have the time and energy to post anything about what's going on. I was just checking out my old posts now and saw that Cinque Terre di Italia was on my wishlist and posted on summer of 2010. Dreams come true gals! See,I've visited 5 Terre and other places this summer with my friend Ozge and just "skipped" to post my deeds!Oooh what a delightful experience it was! Beautiful sites,many rail trips, and good tastes..
Here are my shots on our way from 5 Terre to Nice ,to Cannes and to a 3 hour trip in Rome .

HOME & SICK

noreply@blogger.com (Banushka) — Fri, 11 Nov 2011 09:47:00 +0000

Couple of months ago I've moved into a new house which is a lot more comfortable and sunny than my old house. I love spending time in my livingroom on my sectional sofa even if I'm doing nothing at all. But working 6 days a week, sometimes it's hard to find that time for a little relaxation on those simple bases. Just the other day I wished I could stay home and last night I became very sick and today I couldn't go to work! Well, this wasn't exactly what I've meant Universe,thank you very much!
So I've remember the good old saying; just be carefull what you wish for!
Cheers and happy weekends!

Resting my bones..

We are having a religious holiday nowadays so I could find the time to post.

I've visited Paris about a year ago .My "cara" friend Ozge just came back

from a trip to Paris with a delicious box of macarons from Laduree for me

(such a sweetheart!) and some fantastic photos from the city.

I'm posting a couple of them today, just as I'm having a rest myself.

(Thanks Ozge!)
