New art installation outside Liverpool Street Station Elizabeth Line entrance


This new art installation erected outside Liverpool Street Station Elizabeth Line entrance makes me wonder: big and small stainless-steel balls on a string. What could it be?!

Feel free to come up with your own interpretation.

248-2020 – White House with the Red Rooftop


Today’s photo of the day, part of “a photo a day challenge 2020”, is about the white house with the red rooftop I see every day from my kitchen window. Because our houses are in a valley, most days the top of the hills are covered with a white blanket of clouds and this is the view I see quite often. Spectacular I would say! Another interesting fact is that this house was the only house in the Doftana Valley in 2003, when my in-laws started the construction of their house. Now there are more than 30 houses around us, […]

235-2020 – Gulas


Today’s photo of the day, part of “a photo a day challenge 2020”, is about a traditional dish in Transilvania: Gulas Our neighbours invited us to join them for lunch and they cooked a wonderful Gulas with chicken and polenta. They made it in a crockpot hanging over a wooden fire. Delicious! The food was wonderful, but the homemade cognac topped it all. Smooth and aromatic. Like, comment & share!
