Clay poetry and street agony

Two very different images... One full of life, creation, movement: the potter's hands giving shape to clay. Another void of pleasure, agonizing, searching for answers: a masked woman's portrait, with the subscript "I 'm in agony...".



Oddly enough, a few days later I found the same message again, on a different wall ( this one is slightly shaken... )

A winged friend...

...came to my balcony.


Poor bee was at the end of her life, I found her the next morning still there. Click on the picture to enlarge it.

A walk through Athens

Street photography has a special place in my heart. I like walking around the city and snapping any kind of image that stimulates my mind. Here are a few examples, from a Fujifilm Velvia 50, which gives very saturated and vibrant colours.

Scanned Film - Urban Scenes

I scanned another Kodak Tri-X 400 film a couple of weeks ago. Here are three shots from around Athens, a bit of undercover photography.
Enjoy!

Happy New Year - Servia - Kozani Trip

Happy New Year everyone! After some time, a few new pictures from a recent trip to Servia ( link in Greek ) in the North of Greece, near Kozani ( link in Greek ). Here it is on the map.
Enjoy!

The first picture is not fantastic, but it reminds me of a carte-postale. This is the view from the Byzantine Castle of Servia.


And here is the Castle itself, from the highest position of its Acropolis, looking towards the lake close-by.



The lake and its bridge from the neighbouring village of Neraida ( translated as fairy ). Steady hands, eh?



And this is the Nautical Club of Kozani, on the lake, at sunset.
