Travel: Granada, Spain

Travelling to Granda, everyone talks about the Alhambra. The palace is breathtaking in its grace and elegance, and is one of those places that will leave you spell-blinded. After spending the afternoon at Alhambra, we walked up Plaza San Nicholas for the sunset and watched the colour change in the sky over the panoramic view of the Alhambra standing proudly on the hills. It was totally worth the walk!

Apart from the amazing Alhambra, there was still a lot to explore in Granda. Albayzan is one of the oldest neighbourhood in Granada and is greatly influenced by arabic culture. We had lunch in one of those Arabic tea house and we absolutely love the hummus, pita bread and moroccan chicken tagine!! We spent some time exploring the maze like cobblestone streets and graffiti art, and we were touristy enough to hang around Moroccan shops selling glittery lamps and leather products.

Granda was the last city we stayed at the South, it was a perfect ending and we didn't want to leave at all! Hope you'll enjoy Granada just as much as I do, and enjoy the photos from my half frame camera. :)

Travel: Seville, Spain

Seville is an astoundingly charming city, loved by people for its world-class tapas, flamenco and bullfighting. It was our first stop at Andalusia and we spent a few days there staying at a cosy apartment. Besides cultural highlights such as the Alcazar, Seville had a lot to offer as a capital city of Andalusia, lovely streets, blue skies, long daylight and beautiful parks. And the calm pace of life has made it such a perfect place for leisurely exploration and photos snapping!

You would have to adjust to the late dinner time in Spain because dinner is not served until 9pm. But it was wonderful for us we had so much time with the daylight, because sun doesn't set until 10pm!

p.s. we watched the one and only flamenco show in Seville and it was amazing!

Travel: Córdoba, Spain.

Córdoba is a pulsating city, full of colour, and delicious. May is the perfect time to visit. Last summer, I went to Córdoba with the sweetest couple, Jessica and Leo, who has brought so much fun to our Spain trip. The city literally blossoms and smells like flowers in May, we could spend days winding through its streets and alleys, and under the sunshine, everyone just goes outside and enjoys a glass of sangria. Apart from its vividness, Córdoba is a city shaped by rich history and vibrant multiculturalism. The famous mosque, Mezquita, is an inspirational site for all people, no matter their faith. When it comes to Andalusia, Seville and Granda are cities people remember, yet Córdoba's tranquility has secretly become a favourite city of mine.

Travel: Provence, South of France

I must say, Provence boasts some of the most picturesque villages in France. It is the best place for lovers of art, beaches, wine and seafood. We spent a few days in Nice, Marseille, Cannes, and another few days villages hopping in Avignon. If you are an arty person, you would fall in love with this place. There is so much worth exploring in provence, we went to home town of many famous artists, and revisited many places where they got their inspirations. We also spent a lot of time at the fresh food markets, wishing we could bring home a french pantry full of fresh strawberries, tomatoes, jam, and cheese!

Enjoy film photography! :)

Travel: Kyushu, Japan

I would love to share with you my favourite place in japan, kyushu. It was autumn time, where red leaves were everywhere. We love going to small towns away from the crowd, and just spending days exploring and enjoying cosy hotsprings.

I would like to dedicate my first post to films, since I love film photography so much, especially half-frame films. I bring with me my film camera everywhere, because they are just so magical that it captures the moment with its originality without swallowing any details.

Hope you will enjoy the photos just as much as I do.
