Leiden and Leiderdorp, Netherlands / April 2017

Our Ester trip included driving from UK, via France and Belgium to Netherlands and Germany to visit our families. We did not take many picures in Germany, but we managed to visit Brussels, Leiden and Leiderdorp:

Leiden is well-known for canal crusies with the lowest bridges on the way. Great experience though !

Brussels, Belgium / April 2017

Atomium is the greatest attraction in Brussels !

It is a building constructed for Expo1958. Designed by the engineer André Waterkeyn and architects André and Jean Polak, it stands 102 m (335 ft) tall. Its nine 18 m (60 ft) diameter stainless steel clad spheres are connected so that the whole forms the shape of a unit cell of an iron crystal magnified 165 billion times. It is now a museum.

Admission: around 8 euros

Review: 4/5 – views are not perfect, but exhibitions and tubes are interesting 🙂

Brighton / Spring 2014

We visit Brighton quite often as it is a place where we met and had nice time 🙂

I love the beach, atmosphere and architecture of this city.

Let me show you my best documentary shots ever 😉

The Royal Pavilion is an exotic palace in the centre of Brighton with a colourful history. Built as a seaside pleasure palace for King George IV, this historic house mixes Regency grandeur with the visual style of India and China.

Oslo At Night

Despite of cold and tiredness after boat trip and Day 1 spent in museums we forced ourselves to see Oslo At Night 🙂 We went to the city centre and then to Aker Brygge well-known for shops, pubs and vibrance at night.

And question for my lovely followers:

What city you enjoyed most when wander at night ?
