    Photography Contest : People Resting • March 2015

    It is a bit awkward for the week to start with people resting. Monday is the first day of the week and we all usually run to catch up on work, obligations, and tasks. I must admit that one of my bad habits is always to leave anything stressful for Tuesday if I can because I guess that there will be a stressful “Monday” madness gathered everywhere and in everyone. Back to the theme of rest, there was a very interesting photo…

    On sunny hills you never walk alone

    Sunday morning in the Saint Achilles island in the small Prespa Lake and we take a walk on its sunny hills. A route that starts from the church of St. George on the first hill and ends to the big white cross on the last hill of the island. Visitors are coming in groups to see the basilica church of St. Achilles and the other Byzantine monuments and everywhere you can hear their echo. But, the island holds many surprises,…

    Hierakion

    I really love the way that people who live and work near nature, perceive and understand seasons and time. They use all their senses, not only their eyes or their clocks.

For many, staying near nature may be the answer for stress, lack of a life meaning, and depression. For me, continuing to photograph the seasonal flora and reading about flowers and weeds,…

    A Sunday walk in the waterfront of Thessaloniki always has something to surprise you. This time was a band of youth, playing live music a few meters from the White Tower, and many teenagers taking part in a Play-act-motiON activity, engaging with YMCA and as part of the general action of Thessaloniki city as European Youth Capital for 2014. And, there were four generations amusing with the same sound, singing the same songs and feeling the same feelings. It was 1965…

    useless

    “Remember that the most beautiful things in the world are the most useless; peacocks and lilies for instance”. John SteinbeckPeacock, the bird with a large fan of colorful feathers, usually opens its tail to attract peahen’s attention.
