BASILIQUE SAINT AUGUSTIN
Is a Roman Catholic basilica dedicated to Saint Augustine of Hippo located in Annaba, Algeria.
I love to see this. Of course I wouldn’t act like a tourist, I would act and be much more dissect about that. I would be a traveller; admiring the culture and beauty behind the story and where it is.
Looks sheer beautiful architecture

Wine has been the biggest topic of my day! Italian food for lunch, at this beautiful restaurant where there was this beautiful staircase with a wine case incorporated along the side going down. I mean this Italian restaurant is such an elegant place to go for a cosy atmosphere and delicious food. It’s tucked away in the streets of Shoreditch and if any of you have been to Shoreditch before, its such a boutique place – full of unique shops, restaurants and bars. Check out this wonderful stair case of wine, personally I don’t feel the photo does it justice but nevertheless still cool.
I also went to a wine shop today called bottle apostle! Literally this place is for all wine lovers; it’s literally wine heaven. Such a cool place, seriously look!
This photo only shows just one side to the shop, the whole shop is like this; ceiling to floor in all different wines from all around the world. One could think I am a lover for wine from this post and the day I have had involving wine, well I am not; I have no idea about wine really! But I do love drinking wine and I am starting to form more of a love for it and maybe could possibly lead to a passion to understanding it much more. I just adore the sheer elegance that people take into creating beautiful wines. From the actual bottle shape, to labels and the wine itself – altogether it creates a lovely combination to the feel of having and drinking mouthwatering wine. Plus I am on a new mission to find new interesting things I can get into and try, and I feel exploring this month with the challenge of taking a photo and writing a paragraph of the the weird and wonderful things I find or do within my day, is helping me achieve this.
Oh this wine shop had such a cool idea of trying new wines without having to buy a actual whole bottle. Look at this picture. You can see a selection of wines in a fridge, with a nozzle attached so the wine can be ejected when you press a button. You literally pay like a pound and you get 50ml of wine to try and see what you think of it. There is about 30-40 different wines you can try or so, which is a pretty impressive selection. But personally I wouldn’t advise trying them all; be a bit drunk from it but still really awesome idea.
Actually from it, its made me really want to join a wine tasting class so I can understand wines much more and have a good time meeting fellow wine lovers. So does anyone know of any in and around London?
Noc Kupaly is the word to describe the feast day of St John the Baptist in Polish. The day is called Kupala Day! It is celebrated in Ukraine, Belarus, Poland and Russia. The word Kupala is related to a word derived from the Slavic word for bathing and they believe that it was a sacred holy day honoring the two most important elements: Fire and Water.
The tradition is to burn fires at the end of the day and bathe in open waters at sunset, singing and dancing around ‘pal’ till midnight and is held near the summer solstice. It is equivalent of Valentine’s Day.

Different! Not sure if I like it or not. Due to it lacking greenery, colour, nature and the fact it’s over packed.
But what you think?
The contrast of greyish cobble paving patterns against the white building walls, with the elegant trained climbing trees growing up the walls, I just found to be magnificent. The sheer detail some of the streets have with simplicity and contrast are just classical and beautiful. I specially like the trees having such strong shades of green, with wining dark brown thin trucks going up along the buildings.
I suggest you check out this beauty of a link
