I spent the last few days at my grandmother's house doing some farming work at the family olive grove. It is about 2 hours drive from my home and although it is on the same island, the scenery is totally different! Here we are in the centre of Crete, among the mountains and far away from the sea. But it has its own beauty and I don't miss the opportunity to appreciate it every time I visit and of course, take a few more pictures :)
I like photographing in winter days with sun but not completely sunny. It seems like a constant battle between the dark clouds and the light that is struggling to pass through. And when it does, miracles can happen. The scenery can be transformed from one minute to the other and it almost looks like there are different weather conditions in each part of the picture (and very often this isn't far from the truth). That was a day like that. I went out in the morning for a short walk with the dog and boy, am I glad I took my camera with me!
I identify myself as a farmer, at the east side of the island where I live, but with the standards here, I am just an amateur. Farming here is much more intense and you can easily figure it out just by taking a look around. I am not a big fun of this type of agriculture but I do like the symmetry when I am taking pictures and let me tell you that there is a lot of symmetry at those intensively cultivated hills!
Do you remember that little fellow in the picture above?
It is the younger of the neighbour's dogs and I met him myself a couple of months ago when I was here for the olive's harvesting. He is a truly adorable puppy. If you are curious to see how much he grow in the last two months you can check out this post that I wrote exclusively for him! And since he is small enough to pass through the fence he always keeps us company during our stay!
That's so nice because the only thing that is better than walking a dog, is walking two dogs :)
