Taste buds exam! Who would ever thought that a bell paper stuffed with tuna and chocolate mousse can make such a delightful delicious appetizer/dessert?

Morocco is very inspiring for being photographed. The colors and lighting are unique, so it was easy to find the interesting and exciting angles to shot. 
I played a little with my LensBaby, photographing practically everything around the house. I even made my cats model their eyes and paws, but honestly, they didn’t appreciate my artistic efforts. My two smart cats simply ran away from me and hid in a safe place for the time their owner keeps the camera in her hands. I ended up experimenting with fruits on the table, as inanimate objects now they didn’t escape the photo session. Here are the results:

I am taking some risk by setting up this presentation. These pictures and the actual meat/beef section at the Cuzco food market are very graphic. I will start by mentioning that I am a vegetarian. Somehow I didn’t feel disgusted by the scenery, I was amazed how clean the place is, there weren’t the mass clouds of flies as I anticipated to see. I saw an abundance of tasty goodies there. The market place was loud, colorful and vibrant. People were setting their goodies, negotiating, smiling. The small kids were running in the aisles from one vendor to another, probably seeing the relatives or the other children to play with. The whole atmosphere was bright and healthy. In the meat aisle I noticed a dog pilfered a juicy piece of meat off the counter while the girl was chatting with her friends.
Lake Titicaca is one of the highest lake in the world. It locates in Andes Mountains on the border of Peru and Bolivia. Visiting town Puno and floating island Uros in Peruvian water of the lake was one of the greatest highlight of my trip to Peru. I was amazed by the fact that Uru people can live on the islands made out of reeds. Actually, the whole existence of Uro residents depends on reeds and water in the lake. Life is very tough there, but I found locals full of life, smiles, and just mind-blowing colors. The high altitude( 3800 m) made me a little sick in Puno, but visiting the place worths a little struggle.
A tagine is an interesting type of clay pot that is very popular in Morocco. Basically, it’s an ancestor of the modern slow cooker. They cook and serve the dish in tagine, and it comes in a lot of different sizes and decor.
As we know all roads lead to Rome. In this case, the journey is as interesting as the destination. Here are some treasures I collected on the road to Rome. Italian country landscapes are magnificent in early August. Restaurants in small towns are welcoming and charming and cuisine is exceptional, especially at mamma’s and pappa’s places. Three words: I love Italy.
Here are the endless beautiful dishes of all forms an shapes.

I am a passionate observer who likes to collect the moments and the looks.
