I'm off to a hard, tedious but enjoyable job. Luckily it's not exhausting. I'm having to make a selection of photos that have filled up all the storage space I have. There are photos taken in the last five years.
At first glance, there are a lot of photos that don't need to be kept. The first ones to delete are the wrong ones and the ones that repeat.
It is not as easy as I thought. It is hard to part with my photos. Many I'm just discovering now, even if they were taken years ago... So, I have more work to do than I thought.
Besides the hard is the beautiful. Memories are brought back to life at the sight of old pictures. Nostalgia!
Beyond the feelings aroused by these memories comes the desire to show some of the photos. Those that I think are good enough to be worth showing in the Photography Lovers community. If your opinion differs then I look forward to your impressions!
I started the selection with the folder I named: "My Sea". Easy to guess that there are photos of the sea and with the sea.
Greece is the beginning... and the continuation. This is the second post about Greece.
When I say Greece, that means for me the island of Thassos. A very small part of Greece. The only Greece I've ever known!
Mount Athos

Mount Athos or Atos (in modern Greek Άγιοv Όρος - Holy Mountain) is a mountain (2,033 m) and peninsula (60 km long and between 8 and 12 km wide, with a total area of 360 square km) in northeastern Greece, the Greek region of Central Macedonia, home to 20 monasteries, 12 hermitages and a large number of Orthodox monasteries, where more than 1,500 Orthodox monks live.

Limenaria fishermen's boats and a ship for short cruises around the island.
The small port of Limenaria. In the evening the fishermen and their boats retire here. The fishermen go home and the boats stay... to rest until very early the next morning.
The quiet of the evening, the sunset, and the coolness brought by the sea breeze make this the most pleasant place for a walk or a photo hunt.
Now I end with what will begin... the next post!
