'You're my angel and my damnation; in your presence I reach divine ecstasy and in your absence I descend to hell.' Isabel Allende, Daughter of Fortune

"Ti si moj anđeo i moje prokletstvo; u tvom prisustvu podižem se do božanske ekstaze, a kada te nema spuštam se u pakao. " Isabel Allende, Kći Sreće

Today I found myself immersed in Allende's novel Daugher of Fortune. However, this particular place made me think of another novel, Fevre Dream, one of my recent favourites. I wondered what it would be like to sail a river when it rains and the water lever raises.... Is it like the river pilots in the above stated novel explain, a matter of experience, of learning the river inch by inch? With time I realized that rivers have a beauty of their own, unlike that of the sea, but a beauty nevertheless and one of equal power.

I suggested picnic on this spot (featured on this blog recently here, here and here)  but the eating was done in car solely because of the rain. Still, it was a lovely feeling eating while the river was flowing before my eyes... beats watching TV. For some reason this outfit makes me feel a bit like Jack Sparrow. I can't say why, but it may have to do something with these pointy booties that always make me feel like a rock star...or it may have something to do with the books I've been reading lately. Who knows?

____________________________________________________________________

Danas me posve zaokupila Kći sreće Isabel Allende. No, ovo me mjesto podsjetilo na drugi roman, Grozničavi san, jedan od posljednjih favorita. Zapitala sam se kako bi bilo poloviti rijekom kada pada kiša i kada se razina voda podiže..Je li to kao što riječni piloti u spomenutom romanu objašnjavaju, stvar iskustva, učenja rijeke centimetar po centimetar? S vremenom sam shvatila da rijeke imaju svoju ljepotu, koja nije nalik onoj mora, ali je svejedno ljepota i to jednake moći.

Predložila sam piknik na ovoj mjestu ( ovako izgleda kad je sunčano) ali je objedovanje bilo u autu samo zbog kiše. Ipak, bio je lijep osjećaj jesti dok rijeka teče ispred tebe...bolje nego gledanje televizije. Iz nekog razloga ova me odjevna kombinacija podsjetila na Jack Sparrowa. Ne znam zašto, ali možda ima neke veze s ovim čizmicama u kojima se uvijek osjećam kao rock zvijezda. Možda to ima neke veze i sa knjigama koje čitam u zadnje vrijeme. Tko zna?

  10. I'm in love with the location. The picture with the watermill is so similar to one of the pics in my current blog post, and the mountains in the background are so mystical - definitely better than TV!

    Your look is just as great though! I love how you belted the coat, and the boots are indeed pretty rock'n'roll :)

  14. Hehe, verovatno je sve po malo u pitanju! ;) Kaput je predivan, dobro mi došao isti takav :) Sviđa mi se kako nosiš maramu preko njega i spoj boja. I naravno mesto i ideja o takvoj vrsti piknika. Slažem se za reke, nekako kao da nisu dovoljno cenjene a i te kako imaju svoju moć i lepotu :)

    1. maramu sam kupila na odjelu za stolnjake...ali mekana je i topla i što se mene tiče to je veliki karirani šal koji sam posvuda tražila:)
      hvala na komentaru i drago mi je što se slažemo:)

  33. I didn't get Jack Sparrow's vibe here )) I like how you belted the coat, looks very stylish, I dont wear belts that often because I don't feel comfortable with them, and I don't find them slimming on me but it really works in your look, Ivana! Have a great weekend!
