One thing that traveling, and the different blogs I read, teaches me every time, is how, despite everything, we are still the same. Same things drive us. Same thing scare us. Same things bring us joy. Through it all, the same emotions guide us through life, and no matter where we reside, it's those feelings that make us who we are. This is ture on a bigger scale, as well as in the confinements of one place, for example different religious objects in a town.

How do you feel about blogging and the world view you gain through it? Have a happy start into the new work week.

those golden doors with the arches are so pretty. and I like the third photo of all the houses because they are stacked up and here we are flat and all the houses are flat, standing in one street we can not see anything but the street we live in. I like seeing other countries and other places here in the US because I will never see them with my eyes, but photos are a good second. I like seeing how others live and like you I have noticed that no matter what country I visit in blog land all the people are so much alike.... with the language barrier removed by translators we all say and see and feel the same.
ReplyDeleteThe language barrier is really lifted through the translators, but also the use of English language.
DeleteWonderful shots that we will all love! Especially with all that blue sky :).
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteBeautiful photos of the different buildings. Blogging teaches me about daily life in other countries, and gives me ideas about interesting places to visit. Thanks for sharing photos from your part of the world.
ReplyDeleteThere are many things to be learned and seen in different blogs.
Deletethe big world becomes instantly shareable - and i love that.
ReplyDeleteYou put that really well.
DeleteI do completely agree with Tex! Being able to share and experience the world of others is an incredible way to learn to see your own!! Great post and beautiful captures for the day, Mersad! Hope you have a wonderful week!
ReplyDeleteThere seems to be a lot of reflecting on ones own life through other peoples blogs.
DeleteIt's so true, and blogging has helped me armchair-travel - it's amazing how much the economic crisis affects everyone, how the crazy weather does too, how everyone loves to gaze at beauty or something a little different. Thanks for the sweet reminder and images!
ReplyDeleteThat's exactly what I meant. It's really the same things that affect us.
Deletewie recht du hst mersad.
ReplyDeletewenn ich deine bilder sehe bekomme ich immer lust zu verreisen.
ich wünsche dir eine tolle woche.
viele grüße
dieter
Danke vielmals Dieter.
DeleteI love blogging and seeing what people are seeing and photographing. And your photography is amazing! I'd be a lot happier though if Blogger would Publish my comment when I hit Publish.
ReplyDeleteThat happens to me too sometimes. It's especially enraging when you write a long comment.
DeleteThe mosque really stands out among those other buildings. Beautiful photos!
ReplyDeleteThanks Brian. There are a lot of them in the old town center, all very old and dating back many years.
DeleteI love that blue, blue sky! What pretty vistas.
ReplyDeletePlease consider returning and leaving a comment for me.
Happy Blue Monday!
Thank you. I tired visiting you, but I can't seem to open your blog through your username here...
DeleteI would love to travel the world but since I can't, blogging brings the world to me and new friends.
ReplyDeleteI try to travel as much as money and time allow, but there will always be places I can only visit through blogs :)
DeleteI love blogging because it just opens up an entirely new world of places and people such as you.....I enjoy your blog so much not only for your lovely photographs but because you give us a glimpse into your life and the world you live in....
ReplyDeleteThank you Nancy. I try to share what is interesting and worthwhile to others.
DeleteI love blogging because it lets me see things that I otherwise probably would not get the chance to see. Thank you for sharing your world with us.
ReplyDeleteI agree. I can really open up your eyes.
DeleteBeautiful, especially the fourth photo. Blogging shows me places I have visited before and enjoyed, and places I haven't yet visited but might.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jack. It can be a vehicle for travel and discovering new locations.
DeleteTolle Fotos die du wieder gemacht hast. Also ich finde bloggen verbindet, man bekommt Eindrück von Orten an denen man noch nie gewesen ist, bekommt Erinnerungen bei denen man schon war und es können auch Freundschaften entstehen. Dazu kann man selbst noch seinem Hobby folgen, und ich freue mich immer wenn ich Menschen Teneriffa und meine Erlebnisse und Orte näherbringen kann.
ReplyDeleteSo wie ich mich freue bei dir soviel kennenzulernen und zu entdecken.
Liebe Grüssle
Nova
Ich hab ja erst durch Deinen Blog mehr über Teneriffa kenengelernt. Vorher war es nur ein Name, jetzt ist es ein wirklicher Ort geworden.
DeleteWunderschöne Stadt! LG
ReplyDeleteDanke Flögi.
DeleteFabulous photographs, as ever, Mersad. What do I like about blogging? It is a fine way to see other parts of the world through photographs like yours and learning about different customs. I also like the way bloggers communicate, and share, and support each other.
ReplyDeleteThe support is definitely a big plus point on blogger. Everyone seems to encourage others, which I like. Lots of positive energy.
DeleteAll of these photos are stunning, and I particularly like the photos of the homes. I find architecture in different countries fascinating. Blogging has opened a whole new world to me, encouraging me really to "see" the world in which I live and to enjoy the world of other bloggers who have taught me so much!
ReplyDeleteYes, through blogging you can really "see" the world. I agree.
DeleteI especially like the third image, with the multiple arches. The composition is very interesting and beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI do love seeing places on blogs that I'll probably never see in person. I also learn from other people's photography. And I meet friendly folks that I'd probably never know otherwise.
Yes, meeting people throughout the world has really been a positive side effect.
DeleteI agree that blogging is like a window to the world. I have met so many beautiful, nice bloggers from around the world. I have enjoyed new scenery and learned new traditions and I love blogging. Thank you for sharing your world, I always enjoy your photos and post. Have a happy day!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Eileen. I agree with you, there are many nice people/bloggers you get to know.
DeleteBeautiful shots! Love to see all the Blues.
ReplyDeleteI adore this little town, nestled among the plantlife clinging to the side of the hill! The different churches/mosques are beautiful. The architecture is all so charming. I imagine the people living here in harmony and that's a peaceful, lovely thought.
