At one point in time, everything will snap together.

Surreal dreamscape I. My long time planned project - surreal landscapes merged from real landscape photography and 3D rendered creatures.

@RealJamesWoods Dear James. However this will fck up my image in my circles, my business, my relationships in these hysterical times, I want to say this - I hated your guts in Once Upon a Time in America. Now I admire your balls, openess, your world view. You are man of principles. Thank you.

@spazchickens Thanks a lot :) I was in awe yesterday morning just watching the sky :)

I was feeling stuck for some time, so recently I decided to reevaluate how I am taking pictures. I cannot promise resulting photos will be better than before, but at least I am trying new things :)

Mysterious ruin of Elizabeth Bathory's castle - the legendary Bloody Lady, known for torturing young maids and bathing in their blood. This view is perfect match for her legend.⠀

When you have to wake up at 4:00am, halfsleeping walk like a zombie to the garden, trying not to forget stuff for shooting and after slightly opening the eyes you see this - it is like a shot of caffeine directly to the veins.

I am thinking about making another roadtrip to these places in autumn, after tourist season, I wonder how it will differ from April, weather, lighting, mood. Maybe next year. I will learn how to make good photos till then. Maybe.

Again mobile phone shot. Sometimes I wonder why am I taking all the photographic equipment with me. Maybe to look cool and when nobody is looking, I will snap the scene with the phone :) Now you know!

Magic can be captured also on a mobile phone. Sometimes it is easier to take one shot with the big camera and one with the phone, instead of changing lenses on the big camera. #naturephotography #photography #pictureoftheday #shotonmoment #momenttravel

Sunset at Vrsatec Castle. I have a vertigo, so photos taken from cliffs/rocks are hard for me, the tension was killing me. After one or two hours of standing near the deadly abyss (at least for me) I felt totally exhausted. #naturephotography #photography #pictureoftheday #sunset

Sunrise from Vrsatec Castle - the Golden & Blue hour
I hate getting up in the morning. I had to sleep in a car just next to the castle hill and get up at 3:50am, climb the rocks almost still sleeping.

Water nymphs playground, Dreamlands series I
I was waiting for naiads, daughters of Okeanos to show up, but I was probably too noisy, too impatient or just not yet worthy to see them. But one day, one day I will be ready...

Are they among us? Dreamlands series I
Confering floral aliens, green, strange, unfamiliar shapes, evaluating peace treaty with humans or discussing best ways to wipe humans from the face of the earth?

Strangers in a strange world, Dreamlands series I
I had feeling like these are two green frontier explorers, very slowly walking this green world, to conquer this part of the woodlands. The moment I will look away, they will move.

I am sure I have to relocate someplace like this, west coast, rather an ocean than a sea. With higher probability I will be able to see the sunsets than sunrises.

Yup again that evening at Vale Dos Homens beach, I do not know what new to write about it, I have more photos from that evening than expressions to describe it. Just enjoy.

Again and again I am getting back to that one special evening at Vale Dos Homens beach, each shot, one by one, was pure magic.

Beautiful and torturing moment at the same time, yet I would like to relive it again. Light changed very fast, each moment was different, dreamy looks, angles, choosing one meant missing another one.

Dreamlands series II
I was expecting cute mermaid to send me a kiss from the island. The sea had a heavy oil like nature. I had a feeling like I can walk the waves to look for the mermaid.

It ain't Iwo Jima
Me with friends on top of one of Kornati islands. We anchored the ship and rushed to the top to catch the #sunset - them to enjoy it, me to capture some pictures.
