Combining my love for Travel and Photography

My wife and I grew up behind the Iron Curtain, in a world where the freedom to explore beyond our borders was not something to be taken for granted. Perhaps that is why we developed such a deep fascination with the world beyond our own. For us, travel became much more than a pastime — it was a way to embrace the freedom we had once only dreamed of, discover different cultures, and see the world through new eyes.
As our family grew, we knew we wanted our children to share in that sense of discovery. We took them along on every adventure we could, whether close to home or halfway around the world. Each journey became an opportunity to explore together, collect unforgettable memories, and broaden our horizons. Along the way, something wonderful happened: the spirit of adventure became part of them, too. Today, they share the same curiosity, wanderlust, and love of discovery that first set us on our journey.
Looking back, we realize that travel has given us far more than beautiful places and unforgettable experiences. It has brought us closer as a family, opened our minds, and reminded us that the world is full of wonders waiting to be discovered — together.



A few fragments from Allan's childhood

Who knows, maybe someday an adult Allan will be showing this page to his kids on some unthinkable quantum computer of the future...

Pencil

Hey, owner
Throw me away
I am only two inches
When I should be eight
My legs are only good for one more mistake...
Aaa! What are you doing
I need a wheel chair for God's sake.

Dancing (Haiku)

Men dancing in black
Women dancing in pure white
Dancing together

Heron

Heron Heron,
I hear you cry
Your cry is beautiful,
It is the song
Of thousand angels,
Heron Heron
I hear you cry
.

Stars

Stars are burning hot
Up high like a little dots
Stars are very still
Like a broken windmill
There are many different kinds of stars
Like the fast shooting stars
Venus and Mars
If I were one I would be proud
Because I would be so still and not loud

Never Know

You never know what you might get
You could get a jet that is a bright sun
You could get a pencil that is a banana
You could get a Saint Bernard that is a wolf
You never know what you can get

Zee

Zany zebras zoom zippy
In a zigzag
Making so much zest
Zany zebras zoom

Some remembrances from Anthony's childhood

Not much, mostly his drawings, only what I've got my hands on so far...
