Palm Trees in the Port

Dear readers, I got back to Germany about a week ago and I'm already fed up with this weather! I live in the North of Germany, where I moved to study, and since I am back from Mallorca I have rarely seen the sun - just another reason why I escape my home country so often, haha.
However, I already booked my next flight back to my favorite island, until then I will be quite occupied with my new classes anyway.  I absolutely adore my new courses, from now on I'm gonna learn how to design websites, how to shoot and cut movies with the proper programs and also how to design magazine layouts. But, on top of all that, my new favorite class is photography! Yes, I'll finally learn how to take photos like a pro ;-)
To be honest, I'm grateful for having a good eye for special sceneries and objects because that already helps a lot, I have never learned how to photograph professionally though. So from now on I'll get to know all about the right light settings, angles and shooting modes, woohoo!
Since the weather in Germany is not as pleasant as the endless Mallorquin sunshine, I will keep posting a few more photos I took on the Balearic island. You can also look forward to some shots of my Barcelona trip that I took in March, I still haven't found the time to post about it yet.
So here we go, enough said, enjoy the pics ;-)

Lost in Creation

Dear creative minds, this post is dedicated to you! I have spotted this fabulous abandoned theatre in Alcúdia randomly when I was driving by and just saw its awesome graffitis from the outside when I thought 'Hey, that must be a fantastic photo shoot location', thus I decided to go back and check it out. And hell yea, I did find some incredible graffitis! When entering the huge building I first felt a little unsafe facing the enormous ruins and abandoned stage (you never knew if your next step might be last one), which only increased my admiration for this place! Once a wonderfully elegant theatre where concerts and famous shows took place, the building now turned into a street artist's paradise!
You all know I'm a huge art fan - architecture, street art, museums, exhibitions, paintings, sculptures, graffitis... anything extraordinary, unusual in poppin' colors will magically draw my attention! 
So here is the outcome of an extremely fun, creative and adrenaline-loaded shoot - lost in amazement, lost in creation... welcome to Es Foguero Palace!

I've got the Dreamer's Disease

Happy Monday, my lovely readers! I hope you all enjoyed your weekend to the fullest and had a great start of the week!
I'm pretty excited today cause I just started packing... nooo, I'm not heading home yet to Germany... I'll spend the next three days in Barcelona! I've never been to this amazing city but many people have told me to go so I couldn't resist checking it out while I'm in Spain. I've been running around the house all day - posting, tanning, packing, haha! We're leaving at 4am tomorrow morning so it's gonna be a short night for us.
I don't think I'll be able to post much this week since it will be my last one on Mallorca... for now. Gotta admit I haven't really blogged regularly during my vacation, but I'm sure you understand, I got better things to do than sitting in the house with my laptop, haha! I promise, I'll take more time to post once I'm back in Germany. For now, enjoy these pics of the wonderful beach shooting I did with my sister a few days ago!
By the way, I'm posting on Instagram on a daily basis, so if you wanna know what I'm always up to, feel free to follow me there (@laurahlp)!
Have a marvelous Monday!
