Is Seville walkable? After spending seven days exploring the city almost entirely on foot, this post reflects on distances, neighbourhoods, the river, and daily rhythm — and why Seville is best experienced slowly, one walk at a time.

I spent seven days in Seville walking everywhere, taking my time, and photographing the city as it revealed itself. Visiting in January meant fewer crowds, manageable temperatures, and the freedom to explore slowly — from major landmarks to quieter streets — without rushing or following a checklist.

Introduction When I set off on my recent Asia trip, I brought what I believed was the perfect travel camera: the Fujifilm X-T5 . Powerful, high-resolution, professional—everything a serious photographer could want, yet still reasonably compact for travel. But on my first stop in Tokyo, I wandered into BIC Camera near my hotel. I picked up the Fujifilm X-M5 , and to my surprise, it instantly felt right . Smaller, lighter, and supposedly “less advanced”, yet it immediately clic

About the series: “Glimpses” is a collection of moments from my travels — short visual stories that revisit places I’ve photographed over the years. Each post looks back at a location through a set of images and memories, offering a snapshot of what I saw and felt at the time. Every so often, while digging through old Lightroom catalogs, I come across a set of images that stops me in my tracks. This time it was from Portugal — a few spring days in Albufeira back in 2006. By t

Glimpse: a short experience of something that helps you begin to understand it. Just an hour inland from the coastal buzz of Marmaris, where I’ve had a home for over twenty years, Muğla offers a quieter rhythm — slower, more grounded, and deeply local. Each time I visit, I find myself drawn to the Thursday market, where life gathers under striped tarps and makeshift stalls. There, shopping is more than a task — it’s a social ritual. The air is thick with the scent of fresh h

My Two Visits to Antigua I’ve had the pleasure of visiting Antigua twice. On my first trip, my wife and I hired a private taxi. We toured the island and stopped at some of its well-known beauty spots. On my second visit, I stayed closer to the port. This time, I spent the morning exploring St. John's—the lively capital located on the island’s northwest coast. Once you step outside the cruise ship terminal, you encounter the vibrant bustle of Heritage Quay. This area is where

Also known as the Holocaust Memorial, the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe was a brief but thought-provoking stop during my guided tour of Berlin. The site features nearly 3,000 concrete slabs arranged in a vast grid, their varying heights creating a powerful, disorienting atmosphere as you move through the space. Unlike many historical memorials, this one isn't located at the site of a specific atrocity or event. Instead, it serves as Germany’s central monument to the
