My Auntie's Garden

A quick hello from me with some photos I took in my auntie's garden when I was back home the other week. It is like an oasis, I love to sit there and read or watch her cat lying in the sun. It is a beautiful, beautiful place.....

...

A week of jet lag. I am glad I am slowly getting back into the normal rhythm here. Today was the most beautiful Autumn day, the light was simply incredible....


The Vivid Life festival is happening here in Sydney and the city is illuminated in the evenings and wonderful acts are playing at the Opera House. I saw Florence Welch singing with a symphonic orchestra last night and it was magical. 


#1 Early on a Monday morning I went up to the roof top to watch the sun rise
#2 On a walk
#3 Coffee with toasted banana bread and ricotta
#4 Blue
#5 /6  Autumn colors


I hope you have a great weekend,
Maria

Inside my apartment and (again) two shots from my rooftop. 


I am back from my trip back home. I didn't' have as much time as I wanted to have with certain people. I do miss home and sometimes with coming back to Sydney I feel like I am becoming an alien not being home anywhere, anymore. Maybe that's a bit of a coming back blues....but that's just how it is today....
I do love the crisp Autumn mornings here lately and the beautiful light which I sometimes try to capture.....

>> Have you seen this beautiful shop

Newtown

A couple of weeks ago I saw a Canon AE-1 in a shop in Newtown - ever since my thoughts went back to it, I was going for walks with the camera, playing with its settings...after all this I decided last weekend to go back and to treat myself. I loaded it with a film right away and walked through the streets of this neighborhood.
I passed this amazing house in which a carpenter couple creates beautiful woodwork, I took some photos of their yard, a very beautiful place. It was also the first time I wore Elizabeth's beautiful jumper. I wish I could wear it every day.

The winners of the magazine give-away are Elizabeth (Weekender) and Susanne (Frankie). Thanks so much for your comments. I wished I could send out more!

Have a great Wednesday,
Maria

Do you like good magazines?

I am just getting ready to fly home to Germany for a week and while packing my bag I had an idea....

It is sometimes so hard to get your hands on a good magazine from abroad especially when the postal fees are sometimes even more expensive then the magazine itself.

I will bring one of the latest Frankie issue with me to Germany to send to anyone in Europe or elsewhere and in exchange I will bring back the Weekender for a lucky winner here in Australia :)
What do you think about this idea?

Just leave a comment below and tell me if you live in Australia or the rest of the world so I can choose two lucky winners ...

Have a great weekend

Maria

>< What great patterns in this series

More light

It is sometimes a weekend routine which allows me to let the stress of a week go. Waking up early going for a run or walk, enjoying the day and the small things of it....

I adore the pictures of the latest Kinfolk lunch in San Francisco, it makes me dream of having such an event in Sydney one day....
