Mystery lane...

...every street and alley so familiar to me,

but always new angles, new light,

new surprises,

in  beloved village...

*  

Glimpses of Menta...

...inauguration of creative minds

of our village.

Now I know where to go 

when I marry  next time,

or when my "garden" 

needs to be replanted...

*  

Smiles, even in gloomy days...

...people struggling,

by burden of taxes and greed, 

but also time for a smile

and celebration,

for beloved children

and the land of blue and white...

* 

Wonderful friends...

 ...blessed moments of joy,

birthday energies,

Winter´s draught outside,

and inside warmth between humans...

*

Far away from Agios Stéfanos...

...but similar message,

piety, humility 

and the light from gothic  arches and romanesque walls,

Trinity Church and the mighty cathedral of Upsala,

towers of 119 meters,

and burial site for saint and royals...

*

Bumpy dirt road later...

...brings us to another quiet world of yesterday,

a bygone time of past hellenic days,

and touches of modern times,

yet scarce with humans around,

but a landing site for refugees...

*

Inside "restoration" is...

...something we all need to keep an eye on,

but is easily forgotten,

and since it is there where life begins and ends,

it is worth considering,

like Agios Stéfanos being resurrected...
