I could have done a whole post about the cats of Monemvasia. They seem to be the absolute rulers of the town but, on the other hand, they tend to do that in every town, don't they? Can you spot the cat

The voice on our doorstep was loud, almost a yelling but on a rather cheerful note. Right after the initial surprise, we recognised the voice of a friend that was coming with her arms full of goodies!

I talked a lot, in my previous post, about the amazing view I was about to show to you and now it is time to deliver on my promise. And what better way to do that, than a panoramic image, made out of nine

One thing that I wasn't expecting to see in the castle, was flowers. Wild flowers growing on every bit of available soil, on stone walls, on every probable and improbable spot! I should have known better.

Entering the castle of Monemvasia is like entering in a medieval fairytale. Well preserved, totally charming and brilliantly located, it is a unique specimen of fortified town, in Greece. But if you want

Easter is just around the corner and our small workshop couldn't remain unaffected by the festive atmosphere and the celebration preparations. There are many traditions connected to those days but I would

I got out of the door early in the morning, earlier than usual. The town was quiet, the weather was gloomy and the dog was anxious for his walk. I chose our less usual route. Uphill at the medieval

It took me exactly seven seconds to become enchanted by this small town, as much as it takes, to get out of a car and look up! And it wasn't the beautiful stone-built houses or the lush gardens full of

The stone-built facade, the faded letters on it and the overgrown, yet untended lemon tree, prepared me for the world I was about to enter to. A world once flourishing but now, relentlessly decaying. I

Public transportation is not my thing. Since I was a kid they made me sick (literally). Actually even my dad's car got me dizzy but I could make him stop at any time. Traveling as a child was a torture.

Eh, mr Calucci, you have mail! I should have written this in Croatian but I am afraid that the only Balkan language I ever learned, is Greek! Nevertheless I thought that it was a nice way to open this

This was the third year in a row that I attended this fair and although it takes place on the same streets and the vendors that sell their goods, are more or less the same every year, it looked different.

Going for a photo walk with a fixed lens is a decision that you may regret and if that lens is an 100mm macro, the decision becomes even more controversial! Nevertheless I chose to do so and I can't say

My throat was itching, from all the dust and dirt that I had inhaled, even when I was back home, unloading the memory card of my camera. In contradiction to natural ecosystems, men's creations tend to

We got out of the car and the first one who rushed into the woods was, of course, Marcos. Our canine, overenthusiastic and overactive companion :) We weren't supposed to be there but sometimes the universe

We got out of the restaurant unsuspecting and totally unprepared, for the surprise that was waiting for us. The whole day had been sunny and warm. The evening was also warm and everyone was out, enjoying

Marcos is a rescue dog so we don't know the exact date he was born but according to the vet he has his birthday this month. He was found wounded by some friends who are very caring for stray animals and

I was in a mood for flowers today and although spring is not here yet, to fill the scenery with blossoms all over the place, I went to the park to take a better look. I took my lesson last October when

It is Sunday noon, as I write these lines and the sounds of children playing and people chatting as they pass by, fills the room. The windows are wide open, the sun is shinning and although the calendar

A cruise ship stoped by the town yesterday and the streets filled with tourists wandering around. This is a common thing during the summer season but we don't have many of them in winter time. So I grabbed
