Togetherness

I don’t usually do this, but I decided to share this with you, guys. I submitted one of my favorite shots to NG. This photo is very special to me. Let me know your thoughts… What does this photograph say to you?…

I couldn’t write a long caption on NG, but I hope you’ll be able to feel, what I felt, when I saw this through my lens.

My life’s credo is – I choose to collect memories instead of things…

Well, this one, is a very special memory of mine.

Here it is —

Togetherness Photo by Elena Levon — National Geographic

Sheltering Sky

elena levon photography tangier - 2

 Two shared taxis and a couple of hours later, me and Lisa finally arrived in Tangier.

She was just passing through it, but I was going to stay for another 2 days.

Lisa booked her overnight train ride and we got a cab to take us to my Riad.

Spellbound

Fes, Morocco

Fes, Morocco

Must admit – I love trains!

For me, it’s the most sensual way of travel.

I always find myself being taken by the sound of the tracks, the scenery and the fascinating stories that trains hold…

It’s a place where I feel like the road doesn’t have to end. That this life on the road is both, my salvation and my curse…

My friend once said;

” You will always be everywhere and nowhere ” – D.P.

He might be right.

However, even 1 second of being lost in this ecstasy, is worth the whole damn eternity in nowhere…

This was going to be another last post on Marrakech, before my departure to Fes…

But since I hate goodbyes, decided to make this post about the true reason many of us pack our life in a backpack and leave behind our loved ones, security and comforts of home…

This is it…

Please send positive vibes my way tomorrow at 12 pm …

It is the most important journey of my life thus far…

Arrived in US by myself at 19 in 2003…

Have been a permanent resident of USA since 2006…

It has been a 9 year journey since the day I stepped out of my plane in LAX…

It hasn’t been an easy walk…

I’ve stumbled and fell, I’ve made mistakes and learned…

I’ve grown.

Tomorrow, May 16th 2012 is my citizenship interview …

I’m both, nervous and exited…

This is it…

May 19th 2012 Update :

Good news!!

Congratulations! Your application was approved on May 18, 2012. : ))

Next and last step is the Oath Ceremony. Will receive invitation in the mail.

Would like to thank officer J. Reynoso for being so kind and patient with me & for trying to make me less nervous at my interview.

A huge thank you for all the support through the years to my amazing Mr. Bond ..

And of course I want to thank my online crew … your words of encouragement meant so much in the past days !!

Thank you for your friendship!

Kinda speechless..

all my love,

Lena xo

364 Valentine Days

I thought this simple piece of paper in my office, my crazy handwriting & a phone camera to capture it all, was much more creative than a Hallmark card with glitter and sappy words all over it… besides, I don’t think Hallmark sells cards with the above statement..

Veils, Spices, ATM, Konyagi and Swimming in the rain in Zanzibar, Tanzania.

Stone Town Door

                                                  ” Welcome To Zanzibar! “

I really felt like I was transported back in time and was in ” 1001 nights ” . It is a completely different world here. With stunningly beautiful doors and architecture, delicious and fresh sea food, proud and mysterious women in colorful veils, enchanting sounds from mosques, smells of spices and rain, buildings full of stories of Arabian Princesses and their passions, museums full of priceless items from the times of Sultans, Dhows, Persian traders and slaves.

At the Airport immigration officer forgot to fingerprint me, so I had to remind him of his job – this was a small introduction to what will happen later in the evening…

The Magic of Bali.

                                                  

I’m in love with Bali! Taken away by the peacefulness and the proud stillness of this beautiful land. Tucked away in the middle of nowhere, I stand weightless in solitude, silence and in ” just be ” of this moment. Without phone, tv or pc, one, starts to really hear his soul and his whole being becomes free and light. I loved exploring Bali with it’s amazing people, musical and artistic culture, sacred traditions and healing powers of this magical place. I left a big part of my heart here and took part of it’s magic with me forever!
