Hobbiton, Matamata New Zealand - photo by Renata Blonska

When one visits Matamata in New Zealand’s North Island , it becomes clear straight away why this place has been chosen as a perfect spot for the movie set of Tolkien’s book. The book was translated into over 70 languages so majority of us know it. It is a must see place if you’re a fan of the movie and the books, but if you are not familiar with Lord of the Rings, Hobbits, Wizards and the Shire or simply not a fan of it, well… as they say, it is never too late for a happy childhood.

Spice Market worker in Old Delhi - photo by Renata Blonska

Trade worth billions takes place in this market and all this happens through shops which located in small alleys, hardly a meter wide. 17th century Spice Market on Khari Baoli Rd in Old Delhi runs from the Fatehpuri Mosque to the western edge of the old city. Huge sacks of herbs and spices are still brought to the wholesalers on long, narrow barrows pushed by labourers. The place is intense not only because of the smell of all possible spices and herbs but also because of unimaginably hard working people.

ONE DAY WE DECIDED TO TRAVEL THE WORLD,

SINCE THEN WE NEVER CAME BACK

Welcome to our website, hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

Short Photo Stories was founded by Renata Blonska and Jack Donda in June 2011 in Sydney Australia as travel and photography platform. Here it opens to all nomadic souls and explorers, creating supportive travel and photo community and brings together photo and travel enthusiasts from all over the world.

Travelling is our passion, so we decided to create this place to hold on to our memories of all the cities, villages and countries we visit each year. This website aims to allow us to share the beauty of people, things and places around the globe. You will find here many photographs of not only the famous tourist destinations but also the less known spots which are often overlooked.

Please wonder around the website, enjoy the photos, maybe you will recognize some of the places you visited, and by all means share your passion with all of us by leaving your thoughts and comments.

We know, there is a story behind each photo and each place so we try to describe places we see and people we meet to our best knowledge. If you experienced anything interesting yourself, please share with us too.

Hope you will have fun and maybe we will inspire you to visit some of those less famous places as well, If you have any questions, concerns or inquiries please do not hesitate to contact us at any time via comments,  the CONTACT key on the website or Short Photo Stories e-mail address: shortstories@wp.pl If you are interested in purchase, exhibition or any other activity in regards to the website itself or photographs published on the website please contact us under the e-mail: shortstories@wp.pl or under post address: PO BOX A649 Sydney South, NSW 1235 (subject of terms and conditions for sale and exhibit policy)
