Panagía and other meetings...

Many festival days in July and August. More with spiritual connotations, but Greeks are good at mixing this with a reason to party and why not? In the monastery church of Taxiarxis in Mantamados, it is every day the same. People come, all in different ways when approaching him. Any age represented. I have learnt how much deeper this goes with many people here, friends and acquaintances. He seems to be everywhere. And why not in a secular world like today? Afterwards a chat and a coffee in the shade of the trees...




THIS ONE PHOTO WITH A REAL CAMERA. THE REST WITH IPHONE. RESPECT IN CHURCH.

Tranquility personified...

Outside the small town of Termís. With Andréas in his taverna O Plátanos. Fairly frequent visits there. Such kind people. Such good food and an almost overwhelming peace of mind. I will go there one day. Stay overnight and just sit still. Let thoughts and emotions come. Simplicity is a virtue...

Another miracle spot...

Just like a Lands End. Looking out from a small village on the east coast of miracle island Lesvos. That tree flowing with the wind and a sofa for contemplation. A pottery maker sending out the basics, for the painter´s brush in many spots of the island...

Considering a messy world...

I realize this. A major part of the world would probably be better off with some kind of direct revolution. Many things need to be done in terms of drastic changes. This country is one of these places. Right now I try to push that aside and give myself the moment of relaxation on this island of incredible opportunities. I have decided to cherish the smaller things in life, without a bad conscious for being a spoilt tourist. At least for some time.....

The Godfather...


Grandma was there and your great woman was there and many of your relatives and friends were there and and the priest and you were in the middle. I had a feeling you enjoyed the day...

VASSILIS THE GODFATHER.




LISTENING TO WORDS YOU LIKED.

YOU SEEMED TO HAVE A GOOD DIALOGUE WITH THE REP OF THE LORD.

A clear cut landing...

Family preps. The village priest in connection with mighty powers. Godfather reading. All smiles from everyone. 
And Siméon The Cool arrived to stay...




SOME WERE MORE INTERESTED THAN OTHERS.

In the heat of the day...

It is too hot even for the beach, unless I go down very early. The crickets are squeaking, the ac humming. A few shots from a plant in village of Vafiós in water for roots to grow and a mega morning dreamfrappé of 700 ml, take all the energy for today...

Imprints of a photographer's work...

It is both a reunion, after the photographer's work has been finished and reactions when opening the book. Very emotional moments. Possible to catch even with a mobile phone...

SHE WAS GONE FOR A WHILE.

ALL FAMILY.
