Miramare si Trieste

2012-02-05T12:21:00.000-08:00

Dupa Vicenza insorita am plecat spre Trieste, pe serpentinele ce strapung stancile de pe malul marii. Din nefericire, vremea nu a fost de partea noastra, norii s-au scuturat si ploaia a continuat sa cada fara oprire. Totusi drumul nu a fost deloc plictisitor, arce de piatra se deschideau in fata noastra, iar panorama era mereu minunata.

After sunny Vicenza, we headed towards Trieste, on the lacet road that cuts through the sea front cliffs. Unfortunately, the weather was against us, the clouds kept tossing away drops of rain ceaselessly. Nevetheless, the trip was undoubtfully not dull, stone arches opened ahead of us and the panorama was blissful.

De cele mai multe ori, privind spre coasta vedeam locuinte de lux, dar supriza cea mai mare a fost castelul Miramare:

Most of the times, looking towards the sea front, we saw luxury housing, but the greatest surprise was Miramare castle:

Situat pe un promontoriu,cu peretii invaluiti in lumina apusului tarziu, castelul ne duce cu gandul la picturile romanticilor.

Situated on a promontory, with its walls bathed by the late sunset light, the castle takes us back in time to the romantic paintings era.

Pe coasta se zaresc in departare luminile orasului Trieste.
On the shore, Trieste city lights are glistening.

Pe masura ce ne apropiem de castel ii putem observa frumoasele detalii arhitecturale inspirate din arhitectura britanica si austriaca- pentru ca aici a locuit insasi frumoasa Sissi.

As we approach the castle, we can observe its beautiful architectural details, inspired by British and Austrian architecture- for here, Sissi herself had spent summers.

Era prea tarziu pentru a putea vizita interiorul, asa ca am ales sa inconjuram castelul si sa vedem marea asa cum o vedea Sissi, la apus, din logie.
It was too late to be able to visit the interior, so we chose to go around the castle and to see the sea as Sissi did, at sunset, from the loggia.

Dupa o plimbare prin ploaia care continua sa cada, ne-am indreptat spre gradinile castelului.
After a stroll through the uninterrupted rain, we headed to the gardens.

Privelistea ce ni se dezvaluie este de o mare frumusete: un copac aplecat deasupra apei, ca in pictura lui Camille Corot, un amurg indulcit de ploaie si un parc ce coboara spre mare, de unde probabil puteai sa iti continui plimbarea cu barca.

The view that unfolds in front of our eyes is beyond beauty: a tree is leaning above the water, like Camille Corot' s "Leaning tree", a gloaming light, softened by the rain drops and the park descending towards the sea, from where one could probably continue the promenade in a boat.

Parcul amenajat in terase si succesiuni de trepte pastreaza detalii clasice : este marginit de colonade si arcaturi, la intersectiile aleilor se afla urne cu aloe ...si deasupra tuturor se ridica maiestuos castelul. Desi nu are dimensiuni mari, grandoarea lui este subliniata de amenajarea gradinii ce coboara abrupt spre mare.

The park, organised in terraces and suceeding steps conserves classical details: it is bounded by colonades, sequences of arches, alleys' intersections marked by aloe pots..and above all rises majestically the castle. Although not so large in size, its grandeur is emphasized by the gardens' arrangement that steepen towards the sea.

Suprapus peste zgomotul picaturilor ce cad peste umbrela, susurul unei fantani atrage atentia. Un gest bland este surprins cu delicatete in marmura.

Superposed over the rain dropping on the umbrella sound, the murumur of a fountain draws the attention. A warm gesture is delicately seizes in marble.

Am spionat putin si interiorul, vazand un simbol interesant pe tapet: ancora si coroana.
We also spyed outa little the interior, seeing an interesting symbol on the tapestry: the anchor and the crown.

Am mers apoi in portul Trieste - deja sosise intunericul.
We went then to the Triest port- darkenss had already taken over.

Ambarcatiunile se leganau sub ploaie, poleite de lumina.
Boats were heaving under the rain, glazed by artificial light.

Am avut ocazia sa admiram in trecere si centrul orasului:
We also could admire the centre of the town, while passing by.

Capatul de perspectiva este bursa veche.
Dupa cele doua opriri aveam de recuperat multi kilometri, urmand sa traversam Slovenia, asa ca am decis sa nu mai zabovim in Trieste. Dar cu siguranta, merita sa revenim, mai sunt multe de descoperit.

catching up -- recapitulare

2012-01-17T01:00:00.000-08:00

A little far behind with posting. I have pohotos piling up, both with travel and cooking. Both in 2010 and 2011 we went for 2 weeks in Europe with our tent. Hopefully we will do this in 2012, too- looking forward to that!
After Vicenza, in 2010, we were caught by a storm near Cavallino, went towards Trieste on a highway on the cliffs by the sea- beautiful scenery, and on through Slovenija-Postojna cave and beautiful Predjama castle, then Graz and back home. I still have some cooking photos from Christmas..
In 2011 we traveled again to Italy- mainly Tuscany, Florence, San Gimignano, Siena,Pisa, but also wonderful Portofino, with which I fell in love with. Starting our journey from Vienna, we also discovered a beautiful jewel in the mountains: Halstatt.
I wished to go up the platform on Stubai Glacier, but the weather was against us. Still, we discovered lovely Neustift and the amazing change of scenery as we crossed the Tirolese Alps-also, a magnificent must-see.
From Italy we went back towards home through peaceful Klagenfurt, which we found very relaxing: we rented bikes and played chess.
Hopefully we shall see all that in pictures soon.

Sudtirol photograph i took on the road.
Fotografie din masina:Tirolul de Sud.

Un pic in urma cu postarile. Se aduna fotografii, si cu calatorii si cu ce am gatit. Si in 2010, si in 2011 am fost 2 saptamani cu cortul prin Europa. Speram sa facem la fel si in 2012- de-abia astept!
Dupa Vicenza, in 2010, am prins o furtuna la Cavallino, am mers spre Trieste pe o sosea ce serpuia pe stancile de pe malul marii- peisaj minunat, si mai departe in Slovenia, la pestera Postojna si la frumosul castel Predjama, la Graz, in Austria si inapoi acasa...si as avea si ceva imagini de la ce am gatit de Craciun.
In 2011 am mers iar in Italia, in special Toscana: Florenta, San Gimignano, Siena, Pisa, dar si minunatul Portofino, de care m-am indragostit.
Incepand calatoria din Viena, am descoperit o bijuterie de orasel in munti: Halstatt.
Mi-am dorit sa urc pe platforma de pe ghetarul Stubai, dar vremea ne-a fost potrivnica. Oricum, am descoperit Neustiftul si schimbarea de peisaj uluitoare cand am trecut Alpii Tirolezi- de vazut,e magnific.
Din Italia am revenit acasa prin linistitul Klagenfurt -un loc relaxant: am inchiriat biciclete si am jucat sah.
Sper sa postez imagini curand.

Vicenza, semplicemente bella

2011-10-06T13:19:00.000-07:00

After a night when our GPS lead us in the middle of a corn field, but all ended happily with the help of mummy's friend who took us to the city and surroundings the next day, we managed to get to the old centre of Vicenza and admire the beautiful squares and conserved architecture.Dupa o noapte in care gps-ul ne-a dus pe un drum printre ferme pana in lanul de porumb, dar care s-a terminat fericit cu ajutorul unei prietene care ne-a ajutat sa descoperim orasul si imprejurimile a doua zi, am reusit sa ajungem in centrul Vicenzei si sa admiram frumoasele piete si arhitectura perfect conservata.

Narrow streets opened in squares, coffee shops everywhere-we had italian espresso: tiny cups, a drop of coffee "devoured" at the bar, standing(no stopping and sitting al all). Stradutele inguste se deschideau in piete, peste tot erau cafenele unde am baut espresso in stil italian: o ceascuta cu cafea, nu foarte tare,"devorata" rapid de la tejghea (fara sa ne oprim la masa, asa cum se obisnuieste la noi).

We were delighted to see the old theatre, the vegetation climbing up the old brick walls and the elegant statues adorning the parks and gardens. Am fost incantati de frumosul teatru, de vegetatia care imbraca zidurile de caramida si de frumoasele statui care impodobesc parcurile si gradinile.

The architect's statue-Palladio, overlooked with grandeur one of the squares. His figure stated rigour, perfectionist spirit. Statuia Arhitectului- Palladio, domina una din piete, figura lui lasand sa se subinteleaga rigurozitatea, spiritul perfectionist.

The espresso break was always welcome: offered a moment to observe the restlessness in the town: on the same crowded street, over wich tall ancient buildings cast their big shadows, people in a hurry passing on foot and bicycle intersected their ways. Pauza de espresso era mereu binevenita, ne oferea ragaz sa observam agitatia din oras: pe aceleasi stradute intortocheate, umbrite de cladiri inalte, cu peretii aramii, se intersectau pietoni si bicilisti grabiti.

From place to place, under a portico, on a wall, at an entrance or in a patio, the locals' aesthethic sense was emphasized: bas-relief, mosaic, wrought iron details, statues in small apses or vases with plants flaunted their beautiful proportions, textures, and abundance of colours thrilling the eye. Din loc in loc, pe sub un portic, pe un perete, la o intrare sau intr-un patio, dorinta de frumos a localnicilor iesea in evidenta: basoreliefuri, mozaic, detalii din fier forjat, statui in firide sau vase cu plante isi etalau proportiile, texturile si abundenta de culori placute ochiului

Tipically italian architectural element, loggia, is visible on most facades, many times invaded by ivy, displaying crockery and statues. Element arhitectural tipic italian, loggia se regaseste la cele mai multe locuinte, de multe ori invadata de iedera si decorata cu vase si statui.

Italian craftsmen are definetely artful. Whether they are jewelers, blacksmiths, they do everything gracefully.Mesterii italieni sunt cu siguranta dintre cei mai priceputi. Fie ei bijutieri sau fierari, stiu sa faca totul cu gratie:

Vicenza is a rather small town, peaceful and quiet and has many sqares, places to meet and chat or sit under the warm Italian sun to read a book on a bench.Oras nu foarte mare, linistit, Vicenza are multe piete, locuri de intalnire sau de zabovit pe o banca la soare :

Patios are spectacular: light infiltrating inside is not so strong, so that in summer they are real oasis where you can chill in the subtle shadow. The stone mosaic pavement and forests of colonnades surround you. Curtile interioare sunt deseori spectaculoase: lumina care ajunge in aceste spatii nu este la fel de puternica, pe timpul verii sunt adevarate oaze de racoare si umbra, de multe ori pavate cu piatra sau mozaicuri complicate, marginite de colonade elegante.

Everything is somehow familiar: narrow streets, crowded houses, small coffee shops, friendly and joyful people, welcoming squares-even for children...Totul este cumva familiar: stradutele sunt stramte, casele cumva inghesuite, cafenelele mici, oamenii prietenosi si deschisi, pietele sunt primitoare, chiar si pentru copii

On our way back, an even better surprise, somehow according to the "frozen in time" atmoshpere of the town:... Iar pe drumul de intoarcere, o surpriza si mai frumoasa, cumva in ton cu atmosfera "inghetata in timp" a orasului...

Cheesecake de ziua surioarei mele

2011-09-25T06:00:00.000-07:00

S-a intamplat mai demult, pe 2 mai, dar sunt cam in urma cu blogul, oricum.Ma gandisem sa fac o surpriza dulce si am gasit reteta pe blogul Laurei Adamache: Asa ca m-am dus la supermarket, am luat o tava cu pereti detasabili, mascarpone, ricotta, gelatina, frisca lichida si coacaze. M-am gandit in ultimul moment sa completez cu niste stafide "betive" (scufundatew putin in wiskey), piscoturi, ceva fistic si migdale si unt (am luat meggle cu iaurt, sa fie mai usor).Am bagat in blender piscoturi sfaramate, untul si fisticul si migdalele (o mana de migdale), am presat compozitia pe fundul tavii si am pus la dizolvat la bain marie 1 pliculet de gelatina. Am mixat branzele, frisca, am adaugat gelatina (atentie la diferentele de temperaturi, daca gelatina e calda si restul prea reci, se separa, trebuie o temperatura medie). Am amestecat si frisca batuta tare , am turnat un strat peste blat, am pus coacaze, stafide si iar crema. Deasupra am ras niste ciocolata. Dupa 4 ore de stat in frigider, sora mea a avut acces la surpriza :

am servit impreuna cu sampania rece...delicios

In sectiune se zaresc niste coacaze..

Si pe langa surpriza am pregatit si un buchet frumos de liliac parfumat:

o plimbare seara la Lago di Garda

2011-09-12T12:51:00.000-07:00

In drum spre Vicenza, venind din Milano, am avut ocazia sa ne oprim sa savuram atmosfera linistita a serilor din Sirmione

Am profitat de ragaz si am hoinarit pe stradutele inguste, stropite de ploaie. Am admirat textura bruta a zidurilor din piatra, arcadele zvelte, ferestrele ce se deschid de sub cascadele de glicine si iedera sa primeasca aerul racoros de dupa ploaie.

Am descoperit si o gradina de-a lungul malului, si am urmat aleile spre "campanile".

Picaturile de ploaie ramaneau suspendate de florile de leandru parfumate.

Pe malul lacului, sus, am gasit doi maslini care au imbatranit impreuna.

Fragmentele de peisaj, formele simple, indeamna la contemplare.

Detalii romantice, flori care "curg" peste tot..

..si accente de arta contemporana:

Si apa lacului, cu o culoare fantastica. Lago di Garda si pietrele colorate:

Zidurile cetatii Sirmione, minunea de pe lac:

O mama tinandu-si puiul pe spate, in apa din canalul de sub podul mobil:

Frumoasa cetate, la apropierea serii:

Barcile ancorate la Sirmione sunt personalizate, una din ele avand un cap de dragon ca ornament:

Pietele nu raman pustii nici chiar cand ploaia ii mai sperie pe turisti..

Ploaia marunta continua, umbrelele se oglindeau pe lemnul umeddinspre pontonul de la care plecau vaporasele turistice:

Pe drumul spre Vicenza noaptea ne-a intampinat cu nori de furtuna.

This is a city where you are most likely to get lost. You'll defineteley need a GPS as the narrow streets are misleading and wrap around the hills. The city itself spreads beneath the knolls covered sometimes in vine or hop estates.
Here we stayed in a camping where there was little room for tents (it was mostly meant for caravans), but still the people were nice and the beer was good. I think it's called Cannstater Wasen.
On our first afternoon, we went to see the achitectural objective, and Le Corbusier's project here. /
Acesta este un oras in care aveti toate sansele sa va rataciti. Veti avea nevoie de un GPS cu siguranta, pentru ca stradutele sunt inselatoare si se incolacesc in jurul dealurilor. Orasul insusi este raspandit printre colinele acoperite de podgorii de vita de vie sau hamei, uneori.
Aici am stat la un camping unde era cam putin loc pentru corturi, fiind in principal un camping de rulote, dar oamenii au fost draguti si berea buna. Cred ca numele campingului este Cannstater Wasen.
In prima noastra dupa amiaza aici am mers sa vedem obiectivele de arhitectura, si proiectul lui Le Corbusier de aici.

Then we went to see some of the old city centre./Apoi am vazut cate ceva din centrul vechi.

Here I found this magic ring :). I got it from the Kunstmuseum, in the central park. The ring has inside these tiny metal beads that magnetize and then fly inside the glass bubble. I am wearing it proudly as you can see in the next pic./
Aici am gasit acest inel magic:). L-am luat de la Kunstmuseum, aflat in parcul central. El are inauntru minuscule bilute metalice care se magnetizeaza si apoi zboara in interiorul bulei de sticla. Il port cu mandrie, dupa cum se vede in fotografia urmatoare.

We headed afterwards to another part of the old city centre, and we found ourselves in the middle of a street party. /
Ne-am indreptat apoi spre o alta parte a centrului vechi si ne-am trezit in mijlocul unei petreceri in strada.

We admired the sun setting near the river. The next day we were to see the amazing Porsche Museum./
Am admirat asfintitul de pe malul raului. A doua zi urma sa vedem uimitorul muzeu Porsche.

Neuschwanstein, castelul din povesti

2010-11-09T00:51:00.000-08:00

Din Munchen am pornit spre Hohenschwangau, sa vedem castelul Neuschwanstein Pe drum am intalnit intai o bisericuta
Apoi am zarit in dreapta castelul Hochenschwangau si ceva mai sus, Neuschwanstein, castelul inspirat de operele lui Wagner
Am dat intai o raita prin magazinul de Craciun, de unde ne-am luat iepurasi de portelan si o casuta de atarnat pe perete, tot din portelan. Magazinul avea multe decoratiuni minunate, mosi care de care mai caraghiosi, ceasuri cu cuc, globulete, marmote, ingerasi cu baloane de sapun si multe figurine haioase. Semnul distinctiv, pe coltul casei- spargatorul de nuci.
Erau multe restaurante, dar si mult prea multi turisti.
Nu am avut rabdare sa stam la coada imensa pentru bilete ca sa vedem interiorul castelului, asa ca am pornit sa urcam pe jos pana la el. De pe drum am vazut castelul si peisajul frumos
Curtea interioara am reusit sa o vedem. Apoi am vazut podul Marienbrucke, pe care se spune ca l-a cerut Ludwig pentru ca gasise in timpul plimbarilor sale prin padure un loc minunat, deasupra unei cascade, de unde se vedea castelul sau.
Am ales sa urcam in continuare pana pe pod, sa vedem privelistea. De pe drum am vazut castelul Hochenschwangau si cele doua lacuri, Alpsee si Schwansee.

In final, am urcat si pe pod si castelul ni s-a dezvaluit in toata splendoarea..
Am intalnit si veverite mancacioase :)
Apoi am coborat inapoi in localitate, pe alt drum.

Monshtru'

2010-04-30T10:35:00.001-07:00

Prima intalnire cu monshtru' a decurs nesperat de bine.
L-am gasit in drum spre casa, nu am fost atenta cat era de mare exact, aproximativ 1 kilogram si ceva.
L-am dus acasa si m-am gandit sa inventez ceva pe moment pentru ca in unica mea carte de bucate era o singura reteta de curcan, si acolo era vorba de un curcan intreg, umplut cu portocale, caise uscate si alte chestii pe care eu nu le aveam la dispozitie.
Prin urmare am ajus sa fac piept umplut de curcan dupa o reteta proprie inovatoare.

Am gasit in frigider niste ceapa verde, usturoi verde,un pic de telina si le-am pus la calit in putin ulei de masline, impreuna cu ceva nucsoara, salvie,coaja de lamaie rasa, putin piper si niste stafide.

Dupa ce am spalat carnea si-am indepartat tot ceea ce am considerat neconform (pielite sau fragmente de oscioare) am sters-o cu prosoapte de hartie.
Am luat amestecul si l-am indesat dupa ce am taiat niste "buzunare" in halca de piept(am constatat cu uimire ca pasarea asta e chiar imensa).

Si am adaugat o creasta punk, cu bucatele de coaja de lamaie, sperand ca la final sa arate ca un dinozaur sau ceva asemanator...ca sa fie de efect, sa fac monshtrul si mai fioros cand il scot din cuptor!
In timp ce faceam eu ultimele pregatiri, am lasat cuptorul la incins la temperatura maxima.
Am "masat" apoi pieptul de curcan cu ulei de masline, ca sa nu se usuce, l-am acoperit cu o folie de aluminiu si l-am lasat sa se coaca in suc propriu vreo ora si jumatate la 180 de grade.

L-am verificat din cand in cand si cand am aproximat ca ar fi gata sa iasa la lumina, l-am mai lasat 10 minute fara folie sa se rumeneasca deasupra.
Si ...surpriza! Praful s-a ales de creasta lui cea mandra!
Trecand peste mica dezamagire legata de aspect...lamaia aia era chiar buna crispy asa.

Bun! apoi mi-am zis ca daca tot fac blog si poze, sa aranjez frumos si restul, cu un pic de sos de soia (care merge cu friptura)... si un pic de smantana.

Si moshtrul in final: TADAA!!

Iata-l alaturi de un pic de vin alb demisec si o garnitura de orez cu mazare si ciuperci.

Primul meu monshtru la cuptor.

Urmeaza monshtrul in supa! Stay tuned:) -un fel de Nessie scufundat printre alge de stevie si loboda.

Sintra ...where land is built up by the ocean.

Fatima- the place where you can see pilgrims, bars and banks named after saints, lots of "too shiny" souvenirs and a nice auditorium.

Serra da Estrela - simply surprising

Taking the road to north from Lisbon we headed straight into this awesome reservation, where we experienced temperatures under 0 celsius, fog and snow, at an altitude of aprox. 2000 m . Most surprising, as when we left Lisbon, the temperature was over 30 degrees celsius. And the landscape was stunning.

Shishkin the wanderer

2009-04-02T02:19:00.000-07:00

I found myself the other day wishing to "taste" something beautiful so I remembered an image from an album I have back at home, which I liked to look into when the rainy days kept me indoors.
Ivanovich, Shishkin. Another favourite painter whose works bring a refreshing forest scent in this urban, misty and unconfortable grayness.

Poetry of nature...wish I could be there.

His trees are much more lively than the ones I see everyday on these crowded streets of the city, struggling to resist through this thick dusty air.

These bring that "after the rain" sensation.
Refresh.
Enjoy :)

Two very different portraits. One of them inspired by the desperation all over the world related to the crisis. I made up a funny alternative...

The second is part of a spontaneous photoshoot that took place when my dear friend from home came to visit me.
More to come, these days..

On the 14 th of Feb I went to MNAC to the "Sculpture forest" exhibition.
It was stunning and unexpected. I saw as a central masterpiece "Bird in space" made by our greatest sculptor -Brancusi. It made me think of the delicate sound, the flutter of the lark at dawn. The shape imprisoned the sounds. Wonderful!
Also I could see a caricatural figure made by Giacometti and a serigraphy made by Andy Warhol.
The Exhibition can be visited until March, so hurry!

Aurel Vlaicu - with the airplane named "Vuia", a fine resemblance to what I've seen in teh museum. It seems that all inspired by nature works anyway.

This is bug. Bug used to live in New Guineea. Bug's name: Phasma.Bug is now in Antipa museum of natural science. Bug reminded me of Leonardo's flying machines.PHA-ntastic!
