Where is That Glamour?! :)







Ok well, it wasn't that bad, actually it wasn't bad at all! I almost missed my plane on purpose and got ''lost''in the middle of LA. :) I didn't really see much of ''Golden Era Glamour'' that I was looking for (it looks like it was on the screen only or I've just been to the ''wrong'' places :) Then-again, there is no wrong place only the wrong mood!). Anyhow, California is definitely worth seeing, it seems like the happiest place to live and the nature is just amazing so this post will be bit different then the previous ones.









Wildlife at La Jolla by The Sea 




La Jolla Cove - Beautiful, but the smell from the pelicans or seals is pungent and unbarable. Years ago, before the seals and sea lions took over, this was a wonderful place to swim peacefully and snorkel. Still unique place, now-days you can actually go into the water swim with the seals...




Joshua Tree National Park





The iconic Joshua tree, the namesake of the California park, is a member of the lily family. Legend says that Mormon travelers named the tree after the biblical figure of Joshua.

17th Century Gardens


17th September 2013. Italy - Lago Maggiore - Isola Madre - Isola Pescatori- Isola Bella

Places that completed my opinion about Italy, Italian heritage, Italian culture. I've seen Verona, Venice, Taormina, Agrigento, Rimini, Trieste but what is hidden in this small place called Stresa, made me love this country even more.
Thanks to Ana & Nicola, my dearest sister and brother-in-low, we spent a day on this magical islands, part of the Borromean archipelago and home to an exotic garden of plants, birds and flowers - and this is how I imagine Paradise. Only an hour drive from Ascona, (where we were based) there is a place that manage to impress me after all London's stunning Palaces, Luxury Hotels buildings, private houses with extraordinary architecture. 
Well... as the action speaks louder then words I'll rather share some photos :) :

 
 On the way there, I wasn't sure what to expect...


1st Stop: Isola Madre 
The largest island of the Isole Borromee archipelago. The island is occupied by a number of buildings and architectural structures and is especially well known for its gardens.


Couldn't resist not to sit on that grass..

Dream House



White Peacock, stunning...




Impressive Gardens, the Giardini Botanici dell'Isola Madre...




The Palazzo Borromeo was built in the sixteenth century on the remains of the early church...


Private Theater... 









I think I could stand here forever...


2nd Stop: Island of the Fishermen (Isola dei Pescatori)
A narrow street running along its spine is joined by cobbled alleys to the promenade that encircles the island. While the traditional occupation of fishing still exists—local restaurants providing a ready market for the fish.














3rd Stop: Isola Bella
 It is just gorgeous. Both, palace and gardens. Make sure you check the forecast before you go. On a clear day the views are spectacular and if you like photography, this is a dream come true.







Will be back... next post - California, US of A
