Crossroads

I call this one Crossroads because I’ve always kind of liked them. When you're out riding without a clear destination—mentally or physically—they give you that little nudge to make a decision.

Out and About

I’ve probably written about this a thousand times—or at least it feels that way. These old, forgotten trails occupy my thoughts constantly when I’m out and about.

That’s literally all there is. Just a bunch of random shots. A couple of snaps here and there…

hills behind hills behind hills

There are still places out there—hidden in plain sight. I love exploring them; they’re the most precious places Mother Nature has to offer. Finding them carries the same weight as some of life’s big milestones: graduation, a first kiss, a promotion... even winning the lottery (which I never have). Long story short, these places mean a lot—to me, and to themselves.

Girona

So we went to Girona. It was kind of a dream of ours that had to eventually come true. Dreams need to come true—otherwise they get lost or forgotten, and that’s very bad. Therefore, I’d like to tell you about our journey. In short. And mostly through photos.

simple things

Anyway—today, we checked out the ruins of Brníčko Castle and spent almost an hour there. The place is magical, and the views… jeeesh. Then we grabbed coffee at Pikola in Šumperk, headed back to Olomouc, and wrapped up the day with an evening walk through the city. That’s it, that’s all.

with mom

We head out from home in thick fog, feeling a little bummed that we won’t get to see much. But I tell myself, quietly, that it’s fine—it’ll still be awesome.

surprises

I have this little black plastic thing with a tiny bit of glass. When you press it, it creates a surprise for you. You don’t entirely know what that surprise is until you finish 36 of them (sometimes 24). It also has a way of making people smile.
