Sunflowers Field

 

I just finished a very intense 3-day road trip. Initially started to attend an out of town wedding, ended as a great vintage haul trip. 


3 days 2000km and a car full of vintage treasures and l did attend the wedding as well 😊 combined with 3 very short sleepless nights l arrived totally beat, but it was worth it.




 I will be restoring and cleaning the vintage items and list them, but in the mean time here are some photos of a sunflower field l came across on my way.

A little Road Trip; Nysa Ancient City

 

The other day we went for a little road trip for some vintage shopping. But we always try to make it a little vacation as well, there are so many places to visit here. 


We have an incredible amount of poppies this year, fields full of them, at the side of the roads, everywhere. They are usually there for just a week or two so I'm so happy l got to capture these cows in such a field.



It is also the time of year that storks come to have their babies. I one village that we past literally every electricity pole had a nest with a stork inside. 

I love that little birds make use of the huge nests and that storks mate for life and come find each other every year.



We also came across a tiny old abandoned mosque, abandoned buildings are not very uncommon but l can't remember to ever come across a mosque like this. 




She was a beauty inside and out, don't you just love abandoned places?



And after our little shopping we went to the ancient ruins of Nysa.





A gorgeous place with an amphitheater and many other ruïnes all spread out in a very green mountain. 






Except for a few cows there was no one there, perfect. It was quite a magical day, l was glad l took my camera to capture it 😊

Weekend Road trip


We went for a little road trip this Sunday. It was in the same providence we live but almost a 2 hour drive. Bodrum is especially a popular vacation destination for locals as there is an airport close by, lots of beaches and an active night life in the Summer. 


But now in March it was perfect, we came across these Flamingos in the wetlands.


With all the hate, war and craziness in the world, I too wish I could stick my head underwater and only focus on food and nothing else. 





It was all very peaceful as they are quiet birds.







We also went to a Flea market, picked up some cool Facebook Marketplace finds and even saw a boat race.




The castle in the middle of the city gave some magical vibes.



And I loved coming across this beautiful old carousel.


We had perfect Spring weather with 20 degrees celsius, and felt rejuvenated but tired at the end of the day :)
