Glasgow, Scotland, taken on November 5, 2015

Apr 02, 2015 – [Thursday] Song Titles: Blue

Bratislava, Slovakia, taken on January 15, 2014

The Church of St. Elizabeth is known as the Blue Church for more-than-obvious reasons.

Maybe the complement of the blue sky gave it some sort of effect, adding a new layer of blue to this already blue city.

Mar 26, 2015 – [Thursday] Song Titles: Kissed by a Rose

Her simple elegance was sheer beauty, and I felt as if I had been kissed by a rose in the midst of my frustration. It gave me some hope.
