Slovenia in winter

February 9, 2023 By travellingoven Leave a Comment

After years of dreaming about snow, I finally got a chance to enjoy and photograph true winter magic…

Just a week before my planned trip to Slovenia this January where I joined a photography workshop, the temperatures both in Croatia and Slovenia were more like spring than winter. It was way above average warm! It didn’t look very optimistic that we will get the snow and winter conditions we wanted. However, I still had hope and call it a hunch that things will change and that I will finally get the snow I’ve been waiting for years.

The last few years we didn’t have ‘real winter’ in this part of Europe and even when there was snow somewhere nearby, for one reason or another I couldn’t travel to enjoy it. But this year yes! The photos will show the best how I feel about that week of winter magic…

Autumn trip to The Netherlands

December 1, 2022 By travellingoven Leave a Comment

Recently I spent few days in Leiden and Amsterdam in The Netherlands so here are my impressions and images from the trip…

One of the best things this October was the opportunity to explore and enjoy Leiden, one of the most enchanting cities in The Netherlands and much bigger but equally amazing Amsterdam. This post in not a guide to those places but more a visual diary of my trip and some impressions I wanted to share with you.

Leiden

I’ll first write a bit about Leiden as that’s where I spent more time and I’m so glad I did. I visited it with a friend and had plenty of time to enjoy this charming city in the province of South Holland. Leiden is easily reached by train and the journey from Amsterdam takes between 30 and 40 minutes.

Autumn in Maksimir Park, Zagreb

November 13, 2022 By travellingoven Leave a Comment

How is this Autumn treating you? Between work I did manage to enjoy some beautiful moments in nature and my favourite season. I wanted to share with you this moody and beautiful early Autumn morning in Maksimir Park, Zagreb…

On another note, I know it’s been too long since my last post! I have so many things that I wanted to post but the time somehow escaped me. This year has been very busy and I didn’t have as much time as I wanted for the blog. Or for creating just for the purpose of creating. But I’m not complaining. I’m so very grateful for all the work opportunities and shooting on great projects and for amazing clients! 

Since my blog and my social media pages are so important to me as an outlet to share my photography with people who share the same passion or simply enjoy and appreciate the beauty, I will find more time for that too. It’s a promise. To myself. 

I won’t be writing much this time as I want to you to sit back and enjoy this early morning Autumn mood I captured in Maksimir Park in Zagreb, Croatia. I know that some people don’t enjoy these kind of mornings but I find them wonderfully melancholic and beautiful. Melancholy is one of the favourite moods to portray in my photography and often I am more inspired by it than by joy and happiness. Finding beauty in melancholy intrigues me. Also, expressing mood of tranquility, slowing down, ordinary moments… Those are the moments I am drawn to and I feel passionate about. I hope my photography brings something beautiful and peaceful to you too.

Donja Lokosnica, Serbia’s paprika village

February 10, 2022 By travellingoven 7 Comments

Where is Donja Lokosnica village and why do I write a blog post about it?

Most probably you never heard about the small village of Donja Lokošnica located in the municipality of Leskovac, Serbia. It’s about 45-minute drive from Niš, the third largest city in Serbia. What makes this small village with the population of less than 1000 people so special you may wonder? 

Well, in the peppers harvest season the whole village turns red and you can see people in their yards preparing peppers for drying. Peppers are being put out to dry on almost every available wall and surface in the village. It really is a wonderful experience and an interesting thing to see!

Hi! I’m Lili and I’m so happy
to welcome you on my blog!

First things first. Why Travelling oven you’re wondering? Well, when this blog was created I had been living as an expat for about 8 years in beautiful countries like Scotland, Kazakhstan, Switzerland, Turkey...READ MORE...

Have you ever tried Rapska torta (Rab cake)? I lov Have you ever tried Rapska torta (Rab cake)? I love its sweet and rich taste and aroma, almonds, lemon and orange zest, Maraschino liqueur...🧡
It is believed that this dessert was served for the first time in 1177 to the Pope Alexander III on the occasion of the blessing of the Rab Cathedral of the Assumption of Mary. One hundred years ago this unique Rab dessert was made by nuns in the monastery of St. Anthony of Padua, while some time later also in the Benedictine monastery of St. Andrew. The original and at the same time secret recipe was only known to a few of the Rab women. Even today it is known to only a few and it's made on especially festive occasions...
