From the inside looking out...

On my own in chapels all over this incredible island. Just quiet, but hearing whispers of wind and nature, like a stretched out hand...

From the outside peeking in...

It is possible to take looks into the homes of people, but I always take the risk of people feeling a bit offended. I kept the distance here, both in Molivos and in Petra. Except my own work place. This is all a question of integrity...


Street level in Petra

Torsten, the window pane needs painting

The keyes to my own work

She did not mind

Petra again, street level

Forever water

Before taking my foot off the brake pedal....

I have noticed and symbolically written down, that it is sometimes necessary for me to pull the brakes in my life and do a bit of a service maintenance check up. It can be very vulnerable, when things appear unexpectedly around the next and blind corner of the road, a situation I am very used to. When I am connecting, seeing the light in the end of the tunnel, it is with great relief. 
Before the the happy days of Spring and Summer approaching, visits to Taxiarchis, companionship at the taverna or just watching the village of villages at a distance, I had one long dialogue with myself. It is now over and done and I can enjoy the moments of sharing, very soon, just around the next corner and I can see the light already. 
If I cannot reach my hand out to myself, I cannot do it to others. 

Will see, not just at dusk like here.

A friend to visit soon, for a long talk.

I know it is there at any time.

God bless Ellada and sincerity...

Thinking of Greece every day now. It won't help my friends, but am still thinking and also enjoying the sincere contact of a close friend, like me coming from the outside looking in. Betül, we will make it longer next time...

Polarities at times of Spring...

THINKING OF A BLOOMING ALMOND TREE
 Took a long walk today with the island on my mind and always a camera as a friend. The scarce light of the afternoon, made me see the light in March on Lesvos. There are polarities everywhere...

HOME LIGHT



IMAGINING SEATS DOWN THE HARBOR

A PINE TREE AND THE MOON

AN ALPHA MALE ALREADY OUT WAGGING HIS TAIL

THE BLOOMING TREE

AND DOWN THE AISLE

From the "quarry" into the light...

Opening a locked door to all the missing of the island and should never rush time, but cannot avoid it. 
At least that is what is on my mind....
