La Ciudad Imperial de Cusco
Cusco is a high city squeezing in an Andean valley at 3400 meters above the sea, and the Mekka of Peruvian tourism with around two million visitors every year. Its air is heavy with smog that comes from all the ancient cars that never heard of emission standards and are kept running probably by faith alone. Serving as a great base for trips around the Sacred Valley, it has become an immensely popular destination and experienced explosive growth – tripling its population over the past 20 years. Before the colonisation it served as capital of the Inca empire, and is now a UNESCO world heritage site. When Francisco Pizarro arrived in Cusco, he renamed it the “Very noble and great city of Cuzco”. As is the case with most invaders, they destroyed many of the original temples and palaces, using the foundations and material to build churches and colonial houses.
I will share parts of Alžbeta Lengyelová’s diary from the trip with you. It is in Slovak, so many apologies if you can’t appreciate it.

Bratislava Blues Raiders
Music can look good too, you know? :-) So this is my band of friends performing for us on one fine Christmas concert. Enjoy!

Some people spend their weekends carousing, others like to go fishing, and yet others may just lie around dormant and let the time pass. Some people tend to spend long hours sorting out and post-processing photographs, and finally, some people like to make games. Months upon months of preparation, and an amazing weekend full of interactive drama experience had finally arrived.
Meet Projekt Systém.
Bratislava under Siege
In early 19th century that frog-eating midget Napoleon thought it was a great idea to lay siege to Bratislava and bombard it and destroy a lot of valuable cultural heritage and whatsnot… well, some people obviously feel that is a reason for celebration and reenactment, and as little Filip wanted to go and see some of that, so went I and my camera. Sadly, we didn’t get to see most of the program, so I only have a bunch of random shots. On the positive side, I feel like I’ve really improved my flash technique. :-)
