skykid6As someone who enjoys photography I am often taking photo walks with my camera. I love doing street photography , candid shots ,  but  also a lot of architecture ,props and nature landscapes. Truth is that recently I am finding less and less time to enjoy that hobby or mine – yet a friend from Twitter suggested that I post some of my shots – to increase the variety of content at my blog. Below you can see 14 recent photos of mine …hope you will like them!


If this post gets some comments I may consider sharing other shots of mine in the future- as long as there is an interest towards them .
