Today we travelled north of Zvolen to a small town nestled in a valley, the town of Spania Dolina. This ancient village has a history in mining copper. Mining ended in the late 1800's and the village became known for it's bobbin lace.
Started the day off with an espresso at this cafe

Since retirement in July 2015, I have taken up photography as a hobby. I take my camera with me most times I am out walking or travelling. I love capturing the moment. I hope you enjoy the pictures as much as I enjoyed taking them. I live in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. To view best quality, click on each picture.
