Photo Essay: Croatia’s Lovely Little Streets

I love Europe's medieval little streets: Tiny alleys, cobblestones, hidden house entrances. I have been surrounded by them all my life -- yet, I never get sick of falling in love with them all over again. And, I must admit, Croatia's little streets are exceptionally beautiful. At night, these streets become even more magical. Especially in the town of Krk on the beautiful namesake island of Krk in the Adriatic Sea -- one of Croatia's little gems.

In Évora, a pretty medieval square is turned into a fairy tale through this wonderful and surprisingly brilliant idea! I just loved this!

Photo Essay: Big Ben Bathed in Sunlight

Today's Photo of the Week is dedicated to my great trip to London last April: When my friend Sarah and I were walking across the famous bridge over the river Thames, the British weather was just as capricious as it is known for -- but when we turned around the late afternoon sun suddenly broke through the huge clouds and bathed Big Ben in the most magical light. So stunning!
