Autumn in Maksimir Park, Zagreb

November 13, 2022 By travellingoven 1 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.

Shooting the cookbook and spending my work days cr Shooting the cookbook and spending my work days creating, doing what I love and sharing the same energy and passion with its author @andreapisac has been one of the highlights of this otherwise very difficult year for me. Very grateful that life sometimes when you are at low point sends you people who lift you up and inspire you. 
Beautiful and meaningful connections are such a wonderful thing…❤️ #cookbook #croatiandesserts

Ever tried bobići (or favete)? These little balls Ever tried bobići (or favete)? These little balls of sweetness are a true Dalmatian delight, especially around All Saints’ Day. 🍬
In Split, they’re called bobići, while in Šibenik, you’ll hear favete — but whatever the name, they’re closest to the Italian fave dei morti cookies. Made from almonds, egg whites, sugar, a dash of Maraschino, and a hint of lemon zest, they’re baked to soft, golden perfection. Perfect with a cup of coffee or even a little rakija to balance the sweetness! 
This recipe will be in the upcoming cookbook written by @andreapisac and shot by me, Croatian Desserts Vol. 2, currently in the making! ✨ Stay tuned!

The reason I’m a little quiet here lately is bec The reason I’m a little quiet here lately is because I’m busy working with the talented cookbook author @andreapisac photographing her new cookbook Croatian desserts vol 2 that features 50 authentic Croatian desserts! 😊✨✨✨
The unique thing about this cookbook is that each step of the process is captured in photos so there is lots of flour, powdered sugar and messy bowls on the set! Stay tuned for more! 😄

Every summer I’m on the vacation in Dubrovnik, m Every summer I’m on the vacation in Dubrovnik, my hometown, at least one morning I get up really early, before the sunrise so I can take photos while most people are still asleep. However, I don’t do it only for the photos. Also, because I love to experience those moments when the streets are still empty and quiet, it feels very peaceful and good for my soul.✨✨✨
Photos and story are on the blog now, link in my profile…
This September besides work I want to focus on fin This September besides work I want to focus on finding joy and pleasure in little ‘ordinary’ everyday things… beauty in simplicity… food that I love, coffee with friends, genuine smiles, cooler nights, fresh breeze, gentle warmth instead of heat…✨✨✨

Who am I kidding, I’m having it also as a ‘snack’ between the meals and not only as a dessert. But hey who’s counting, right? 😄🫣 Here are few delicious desserts (and ice cream of course!) I shot for @poklisar_dubrovnik @dubrovnik_eats … Which one would you choose? 😍
