Jef Aerosol in Ljubljana (& I’m on Instagram)

Bob R Jun 4, 2014 0

I need another social network account like I need another hole in my head. Which is why I signed on to Instagram last week. To be sure, there's lots of noise produced by Instagram's estimated 200 million active users, but there's also lots of fantastic work to be found, too. Hopefully at least some of you will include me in with the latter. :)…

Ljubljana, After a Storm – Pic du Jour

Bob R Apr 13, 2014 1

Today's Pic du Jour, the 91st (!) straight, was taken yesterday when I returned to Ljubljana, drenched from an afternoon storm, after a 50km bike ride. I liked the mood these late afternoon stormy colors veiled the old town center with. They certainly perked up mine. :)

Hello & Welcome!

I'm Bob Ramsak, a Ljubljana, Slovenia-based reporter, photographer and blogger driven by a lust for travel, wine, culture and justice. I have a goal to visit all 195 countries recognized by the UN and then open a small cafe and wine bar in a quiet seaside setting.

Piran Café is that destination.

In the meantime, Piran Café, occupying this space on the web since 2006, is my notebook, an ever-evolving collection of experiences, moments, images, reactions and vignettes, both long-form and short, connected and propelled by those primary passions and published here to inform, inspire, entertain and engage.

Thank you for visiting. Hope to see you tomorrow, too.
