The morning was cloudy, after a drizzling night that gave the town a winterish look. Very few people were out in the streets but I felt like walking a bit and headed towards the historical centre. I like walking after the rain, everything looks clean and purified. Although I am very familiar with that part of the town, there was something that I have never noticed before.
Bicycles.
Lots of them.
Locked on almost every available pole on the sidewalk. Maybe it was the rain and people didn't use them this day or it was just too early in the morning but the fact is that I had never noticed them in such abundant numbers!
I don't know why I got so surprised. Nafplio is a flat town and using the bike is not something unusual. There is even a public bicycle scheme and you can find docked bikes in many places. But this morning all I could see was bicycles!
OK and a few charming details of the urban environment that caught my eye too :)
But the main subject of my walk was all those parked cycles! I got obsessed with them! And I started to hunt them down and shoot them on the spot, photographically speaking of course :)
The chairs of the closed restaurants gave a melancholic (if not miserable) vibe to the streets but I skipped over them quickly and continued my bicycle hunt :)
Every Wednesday @tattoodjay is inviting us to get out for a short walk, get some shots of what we can see and make a #wednesdaywalk post about it. This is my walk from yesterday. I hope you enjoyed it :)
Happy walks, to all of you :)
All the pictures and the words are mine.
