Last Thursday Doors, 28/3/24: Pazin, Croatia

Yes, the moment has arrived. My blogging days are over. Ten years was enough. I wish you happy doors. It was March 30th 2014, a year after moving from Slovenia to Tuscany, that I posted my first post and so it went on until today. I’m not saying that I won’t pick it up again,

Thursday Doors 14/3/24: Torre di Buranaccio

I remember more doors from this open-door day one year ago, promise. That day I finally climbed our tower. Here, have more photos than usually, just not with as many doors. For ten years I had been watching it, this tower on the piece of land between Lake Burano and the sea a few kilometres

Thursday Doors 7/3/24: Castelnuovo di Porto, again

We returned to the town of the LINA bistro one month ago and here are some fresh door photos. This town is 40 km north of Rome, if you’re ever in the neighbourhood. The castle above the square with LINA had a Serial Killer exhibition for some reason. I climbed the stairs – for the

Thursday Doors 29/2/24: Doors of 2024 so far

In this post I will show you some of my sights and doors from this year so far, starting with our new car. We are not quite sure yet but I think we’ll call her Monica. We waited for the new car so eagerly and now we barely use it. For now. But just seeing

Thursday Doors 22/2/24: Along the Ljubljanica 2.

Let me show you some more of my Ljubljana, the city that I miss. Ljubljanica is the river that runs through it, and here are some of the sights and doors that you can see on its shores. We start at the footbridge with peculiar railing holders which I have showed you before. Then the

Thursday Doors 8/2/24: Draguć 2.

Let’s stroll along main street in Draguć, a town in inland Istria, on a calm and cloudy Easter day. Whenever I see the name of this town, I’m reminded of the other Slovenian basketball player Goran Dragić (who played best for the Miami Heat), whose career will conclude with a star-studded event in Ljubljana this

Thursday Doors 1/2/24: Draguć, Croatia 1.

Let’s continue with the doors from last Easter when we day-tripped to Croatia. This town once played Florence on film, if you believe it. At least this is what my father told us after carefully planning this day with online help. But after Hum, the smallest town in the world from my previous two posts,

Thursday Doors 25/1/24: Hum 2.

Doors from Hum, Istria, Croatia. Smallest town in the world. And a cat.

Thursday Doors 18/1/24: Hum, Croatia 1.

Welcome to the smallest town in the world. I don’t know what all the other really small towns think of this but Hum in the hills of the Istria peninsula is humming: “I’m official.” If you look at the data, it houses 52 people on 5 square miles (13 km2). It doesn’t sound all that

December 2022

Here it is, my ever last monthly calendar post. The photos are getting fewer than time. All things come to an end and my calendar series is doing just that. Last December will be the last month to be dealt with in this way, that is in twenty images. You see, this December I have
