Wine galore

I’m addicted to restaurants in South End of Boston. These photos are from another hip restaurant called “Toro” in the area. I know what you’re thinking – No, that doesn’t mean “fatty tuna”. In fact, it’s not even a Japanese restaurant but instead a really nice Spanish tapas bistro.

Went there for their special Sunday brunch. Unfortunately I was too busy munching the food that I didn’t get any of the plates in their pristine state. However, their interior wine racks are definitely awesome (if not awe-inspiring) :D If you happen to visit the restaurant for brunch, be sure to try their Banana Milk smoothie. It’s downright devilish!

The Lone Tree

Took this photo during a late afternoon stroll through the Forest Park in St Louis. At first glance you might think this is a normal tree – perhaps until you notice the strange reflections and the lack of foliage. (See those trees in the background?) What in the world is it?!

Turns out it’s a brilliant metal sculpture of a tree tucked cunningly next to the St Louis Arts Museum, concealed among your normal “boring” trees. I bet that most people who frequent the Forest Park have no clue of its existence! Too bad that the sculpture bears no name of its creator – but whoever came up with this definitely deserves a round of applause!

Boston & Cape Cod

These photos were taken on my trip to Boston and Cape Cod this month. Heed my advice, friends: go to Boston during the summer months at all cost! Winters in Boston are miserable even if you somehow avoid any airport disasters. But boy Boston’s such a beaut when there’s no nasty ice to deal with!

And I strongly recommend the Mela Indian restaurant located in the South End of Boston. The decor and food are amazing!

My first photoblog!

Ferrari Logo

Here we go! My very first photoblog! Let’s take a moment to commemorate this event shall we ;)

So recently I went to the St Louis European Car Show hosted by Plaza Frontenac and shot some really exotic cars. Aston Martin, Ferrari, Rolls Royce… you name it. I kinda wish they would let you test drive some of those :P Either way, the nice over-cast and light rain added some interesting effects to the shots. I hope you’ll enjoy them!
