I arrived on the shore of lake Polyfytos before dawn. The high-mast lighting of the Servia bridge where on but they weren't enough to illuminate the rural scenery. I stepped out of the car and set my tripod on a firm spot. The setting was promising, with the lights of the bridge reflecting on the calm lake water, so despite of the biting cold I decided to take my chances and wait for the first light of the day. When the darkness of the night started to fade away, I realised that there was a factor that I hadn't calculate, the morning mist :)
The visibility was very low, I could hardly see the lights on the other side of the bridge but I took a few shots anyway. The result is not what I had in mind but I still like it, kind of dreamy and ethereal :)
My next stop was at Skepasmenos gorge for some waterfall hunting! It was the first trip of the year (early January) and I wasn't expecting to make it till the end of the 8 km long gorge but I wanted at least one waterfall picture and I got it :)
I promised myself though, to return another time in spring for a proper quest in this totally majestic landscape!
Before noon I was at Velvedos, one of the most beautiful villages of northern Greece and I had a couple of hours available for walking around the cobbled streets and taking pictures of the beautiful stone-built houses, renovated or not, I like them both ways!
Besides, I have told you more than once that I am a sucker for the decaying glory of old buildings :)
On my way back to Kozani, the nearby town where I was going to spend the night, I crossed again the Servia bridge and this time I chose a different viewpoint to capture it. It is a small village on the top of a hill, called Neraida and its most obvious advantage is the breathtaking view of the lake. No wonder why I have found so many restaurants and coffee shops there :)
Since I don't have a more recent walk to share, I traveled through my archive to the time that I was a photographer for a travel magazine and remembered that beautiful day for my #wednesdaywalk post, a lovely challenge, hosted by 
Happy Wednesday, happy walks :)
