Discovering a beautiful wildflower meadow a few meters away from your home, in the most unexpected place, is a great joy. But sharing your discovery with your canine friend is even bigger! I found out

I don't usually name my photographs but this one earned itself some special attention. It is more than seven years since I started to send, on the first day of each month, one picture along my new months

I started for my walk believing it would be one more repetition of the countless walks I have already done. Little did I know! As I was wandering inside the fortified fortress of the old town, I have found

My mother called me this morning, to tell me that our village in Crete is all white from the snow. Considering that Crete is at the south of Greece and our village is close to the sea, those are big news!

The very first thing I do every morning is to go to the window and take a look at the trees in the park and the castle. Maybe it is because for years I didn't have a big window and the view from the small

An average small town in the Greek provinces, with a glorious and heroic past but a rather uninteresting present (not so different than the rest of the country that is). It is not a popular travel destination

They are everywhere. In every street, in every corner, in every inch of our towns and villages. They haven't built a thing but they have conquer them all. Some ignorant people believe that they are here

What's the deal with my obsession for old stuff? If you have been following me for a while, you should have seen them lying around in my posts. Old doors, broken windows, cracked walls are some of my favourite

I was hoping for some autumn foliage pictures but I didn't have much luck. First of all there are not many deciduous trees in this town and the few that are supposed to drop their leaves, are still partly

I have been postponing this for months. In the spring I had too many things to do and I wasn't sure that my feet are up to the task, in the summer it was too hot and in the autumn I was preoccupied with

I was looking for the words to describe the clouded thoughts that were spinning in my head but I just couldn't grasp them. They kept slipping from my fingertips as an illusive creature that I could sense

That’s a basil blooming. Nothing too fancy. I could say that it is one of the most common things to see. With one small detail. It is one of the most common things to see, if you are in the south hemisphere.

The winter is coming, or at least that's what the weather forecast keeps telling us with pompous, scary words. But we had one more sunny day and I am afraid that you are going to hate me if I keep showing

Do you remember the photogames? If you are an old-timer you probably do but if you are a newbie, then you probably don't. Anyway it is a photography game (or a game for photographers) in the hive that

Many centuries ago, when the Venetians were the rulers of this land, a ship was coming from Crete to Nafplio loaded with wine. When it was getting close and the sailors could see the fortification of the

Last week we had some rain over here, cloudy weather and even a little bit of snow on the top of the mountains, across the sea. That was enough for our Mediterranean temperament, to make us fell like we

It only takes one enthusiastic friend to drag you in an adventure that you may temporarily regret but will finally become a charming memory! You know how it goes. It usually starts with a casual conversation.

During my 20s and my 30s I was a city boy. Living downtown and claiming that if you want to live in a town, the centre is the place to be. I considered suburbs a pathetic substitute and I didn’t see any

It was time to go the motorbike for a ride. I haven’t been using it much since we moved to Nafplio but I try to drive it once in a while, to keep the battery charged. Anyway it isn't a drudgery, I always

This is a post I don’t want to write. I never wanted but I always do, almost compulsively for the last six years. The world has changed massively those years but your memory has remained the same. You
