Light magic

all images :© Eni Turkeshi Photography

A friend of mine asked me to post something new so here i am.
I`m very short of words nowadays, so my easiest and best escape is to express myself with photos.
The story of this post is again regarded to the magic of light.
A month ago when i took this photos , i was mesmerized by light in some of Tirana`s old streets.

And thought to share this with you since i miss Tirana ;) hope you enjoy;)

Catch the rainbow

Photobucket

After a long period of rainy days , last day i stumbled upon a marvelous rainbow in Tirana. It was really amazing at least for me since i have not experienced many of them.

And i can definitely say that ,up to know except for the rainbow i had seen in Bosphorus ,Istanbul this was the most amazing one ;)
It looked like it was dividing the city ;)

I had never seen a rainbow looking so close to the city and so down to earth ;)
I wanted to share this genuine moment with you ;)
Enjoy the lovely rainbow of Tirana!

ps : you might want to listen to this while watching the photo ;)

Colorful Albania cities

urban geometry charm
Each time I visit my country , I'm amazed by the very differently designed and dyed colorful buildings,doors,windows.
Special urban geometry elements catch my eye all the time.
Tirana and many other Albanian cities , are very colorful and a real treasure for color and texture freaks like me:)
I'm surprised to find many different and never seen goodies in my small Tirana.It's so very exciting!
What's more eye-catching, is seeing old buildings,doors or other objects , dyed in very minimalistic or modern styles!All of it looks so surreal!
I'm sure that one of the reasons that I look forward to visit my country is capturing these weird,one of a kind gems:)

Disa gjera nuk harrohen kurre!

Photobucket

Dje po kaloja nga pallati i kultures dhe teksa po ecja syte me zune parkun prapa monumentit te Skenderbeut.Sa shume ka ndryshuar ky park tashme!
Nuk mund te them se nuk me pelqen fare pamja e tij e re , stili minimalist qe eshte perdorur ne mirembajtjen e tij.
Por me merr dhe shume malli per ato pemet e bukura kushedi se sa vjecare dhe shume elemente te tjera qe nuk i gjej me aty.

Te gjithe nga ne kane nga nje kujtim ne kete park te vecante.
Ketu ishte pika kryesore e shetitjeve dhe lodrimeve te kalamaqerve, e fotografive familjare, madje dhe vendi i piketuar dhe per shume filma.
Ishte vendi i pazevendesueshem i vizitave familjare te dites se diele.Nuk besoj se ka ndonje familje qe nuk e ka ndonje fotografi prej asaj kohe ne kete park.
Tashme , nuk e ka me ate gjallerine e dikurshme , ato hijet e renda te atyre pemeve madheshtore dhe askush nuk tregon me interesin e dikurshem , aq me teper askujt nuk i shkon mendja per te bere fotografi ne kete park.
Madje dhe une kisha kohe qe kaloja ketej por asnjehere nuk isha ndjere gati per te bere foto ketu.
Ndjeva nje lloj nostalgjie dhe malli kur shkrepa aparatin per te fotografuar kete park krejtesisht te ndryshuar.
E megjithate ngelet serish i bukur ky park.Po ju ve dy fotografi edhe per ju qe keni kohe pa e pare dhe mund t`ju kete marre malli.

Cozy cafes of Tirana

On my last visit to Albania, I had the chance to visit some different cafes and restaurants.
Each time I visit ; I see much more new places, each one with its own unique atmosphere.
I liked most of them.
One can never get bored in these cafes I guess.
Elegant interior design, cozy furnitures, warm ,lovely colors, good music, good machiatto.
And ah yeah , the albanian spirit:)
What else do we need?
As far as I noticed; minimalist, japanese style , functional but yet very elegant furnitures were much prefered.Wallpapers and the lightning elements,curtain blinds were exquisite too.One notices such details, especially if working on this sector:)
There's not the slightest difference from any european cafe and the prices are much better.
Strongly recommended!

A bunch of Tirana

Photobucket

Here there are some photos from my last Albania visit.I shot approximately 1000 photos(Budva photos included..to be continued on next days).
Were them enough? No:))
I regret not shoting hundred of other photos because I couldn't resist curious looks .Now I get angry with my self for not insisting to shot what I liked and caring about them.Anyway , I'll bear it in mind for the next time.:)
And ah , ah, I'm deprived from going out with my sister from now on.
She said she'd never go out with me , as she got so bored of my "-Hold a minute.I can't lose this one!" pleads and my neverending stops.
My migrant albo friends, hope you enjoy this one!

Kafe Noel - nje kafe prej verteti


Gjate kohes qe isha ne Tirane pata rastin te shkoja me motren ne nje kafe shume te kendshme.Quhej "Noel".Nuk eshte se ishte nje kafe shume e reklamuar apo qe kishte bere shume buje, por ambjenti ishte shume i kendshem dhe i rehatshem.
Veçoria e saj qe se muret qene te mbuluara plot me fotografi aktoresh nga vendi dhe bota dhe kishte plot objekte antike , midis te cilave disa radio te vjetra qe nuk kishin te share.
Vendndodhjen e kishte fantastike , 5 minuta larg teatrit, nje zbarkim i mire ne rast se keni program per teater.
Ç'ka me pelqeu me shume ne kete kafe qe ambjenti i krijuar.Nuk ishte shume vend i madh dhe nuk kishte plot njerez , kesisoj nuk kishte as zhurme.Dhe me fantastikja kamarieret vinin dhe pasi te sillnin gjene qe doje te pije nuk te silleshin neper kembe tere kohes.Ketu ne Turqi , nuk te lene rehat , gjate tere kohes o vijne ndryshojne tavllat e cigareve , o shohin se mos te ka mbaruar kafeja apo pija ,madje ka dhe nga ata qe e trashin fare muhabetin dhe te japin te kuptosh se nese te ka mbaruar pija nuk mund te rrish shume.
Kjo eshte e bezdisshme dhe nervangritese.Gje qe nuk e has ne kafe "Noel" , ku kamerieret (qe ne fakt nuk para kishte se sherbenin vete te zotet) , uleshin per shtate pale qejfe ne muhabet me miqte e tyre dhe te harronin qe ishe aty.Mbase ky mosinteresim mund te bezdiste dike , por nese shkoni per te bere muhabet me nje mik/e , eshte vendi i duhur them sepse vetem aty mund te krijosh atmosferen e duhur te lirshmerise dhe te bisedes terkuze.

Jua keshilloj nese shkoni ne Shqiperi.

Redbonsai dhe Albtranslator takohen:)


Sot takova miken tone virtuale Redbonsain ne Tirane. Ne vend te fotos tone vendosem te veme cantat meqenese dhe me ato jeni prezantuar:))))
Ajo ishte ashtu sic mund ta merrni me mend dhe nga blogu i saj : energjike, me bisede te kendshme dhe plot kripe, spontane..Ishte kenaqesi njohja me te..
Me kete rast piva dhe racionin tim te makiatos shqiptare..eshte e cuditshme dhe ne vendin me te mire ta pi une makiaton nuk e nderroj me ate shqiptaren, ndaj sa here qe vij ketu vetem makiato pi...
Pastaj eshte ndryshe te pish dhe te bisedosh ne nje vend ku njerezit duket qe jane me te ngeshem dhe te lirshem sesa ne nje vend kur cdokush vrapon per diku , sikur vetem dhe me mendje:) Ketu nuk e sheh nje dukuri te tille ndaj vertet qe relaksohesh dhe e le trurin me pushime.
Me vjen vetem keq se po me afrohet kaq shpejt dita e kthimit:(

Fotot e para




Sic ju pata thene , dje erdha ne Tirane..U kenaqa rruges dhe ai na beri xhiro neper Shqiperi , thashe sa mire se me kishte marre malli.Koha qe e mrekullueshme dhe avioni ecte si ne vaj ndaj nuk pata frike sic me ndodh perhere..Kishte nje diell te mrekullueshem roze teksa po zbrisnim dhe u kenaqa.Doja te beja foto ne avion por nuk ma mbajti ...
Sot dola pak se kisha pune dhe kapa nja dy foto qe po i ndaj me ju.Teksa shikoja shtepite e vjetra tiranase dhe kafenete plot si dhe pazarin po mendoja se as 100 safari nuk do me dilnin per te kapur gjithe cfare desha.Apo nuk te shohin si te habitur ketu kur ben fotografi.Nejse une do mundohem te bej sa me shume.Mirupafshim per momentin...

Fotografia ime per ekspoziten


Isha gati duke harruar kur mu kujtua se sot ishte dita e parafundit per te derguar foto per te marre pjese ne ekspoziten e fotografive me teme nga Shqiperia qe do te organizohet ne Paris.
Ne fakt isha shume e pavendosur se nuk kam shume kohe qe e kam aparatin qe kam tani dhe me perpara nuk kisha bere dhe fotografi shume mbreselenese ne Shqiperi.Ne fakt kishte dhe diçka tjeter qe me beri te jem ne medyshje..Doja ta prezantoja vendin tim sa me mire e bukur .(Kjo ishte dhe arsyeja me kryesore ne fakt).
Kohet e fundit ne shume filma apo fotografi ne lidhje me Shqiperine bie shume ne sy perdorimi i elementeve te varferise , ç'rregullimit, shkaterrimit .Keto mund te jene elemente qe i japin pjeses artistike mbase nje force per shkak te ndjesise se dhimbsurise qe shkaktojne, por mendoj se nuk duhet kaluar shume masa me to.
Une doja te tregoja nje ane tjeter , anen e bukur , ate bukuri te pasforcuar , krejtesisht orgjinale dhe aq naive te vendit tim me foton time.Nuk e di se sa kam arritur ta shpreh veten time , por kjo ishte ideja .Po e vendos foton dhe per ju.
Fotoja e ka emrin "Kontraste Arkitekturale" dhe tregon kontrastin midis shtepive te vjetra tiranase dhe ndertesave te reja te ndertuara pas demokracise.Fotoja ka si sfond nje qiell te shkelqyer , blu , Tiranas qe te kenaq shpirtin kur e shef.Ishte nje dite fantastike , plot me diell kur e kapa foton.Isha me fat:)
