Vacation...a Theme Thursday post!

Random shots of places not so random...

All the colors and laughter and relaxation and freedom...how can these fit into just one camera click! Oh they can...because every picture holds one important key. The key to your memories. All you have to do is look at it and...one thousand pictures flash before you!

So these are some photos taken in Manchester/ Salford/ UK and Thessaloniki/ Greece. I made a small compilation, because they remind me of two special vacations I spend there with a dear friend of mine. Wanted "New York State of Mind" as background music because...well, New York is one of my-many-dream destinations! Enjoy and here's to the vacations to come...




Oh and don't forget to check all the other wonderful posts on the theme!

Just lovely, Marianna. The slide show was fun with the kids and critters and the music was so spot on.

Sandra Leigh said...

Loved the photos from Thessaloniki - that's definitely on my bucket list.

Interesting that you've been to so many places I'll never see, yet a trip to New york -- which is a few hours away from me, thus a state I've been to dozens of times -- is a "dream destination" for you.

Loved the slide show, as always. Great form of presentation.

New Yorker wannabes said...

Baino: it's a small world after all, eh? xoxo

Sandra Leigh: Oh Thessaloniki is great, but not in the summer...I find it too hot then:)

jaime: Thanks for stopping by! Have a great day:)

The Silver Fox: Can I switch places with you, just for a while? It is true that the US is the next destination in my vacation-map lol

Have a great day you all
