"The benefit of seeing . . .
 |
| copyright sophie zografidou |
...can come only if you pause a while, extricate yourself from the maddening mob of quick impressions ceaselessly battering our lives, and look thoughtfully at a quiet image...the viewer must be willing to pause, to look again, to meditate".
Dorothea Lange

In my element in Volos!
The following images were taken in Volos, a port at the foot of Mt Pelion in Thessaly, Greece. Those who know me will tell you I'm a lover of old abandoned buildings, rust, decay, flaking paint and rotting timber - each to their own, right? :) They're crying out to be remembered, to be loved and acknowledged. Their soul is in the finer detail and I feel an urge - a duty - to bring them back to life and to honour their former glory.

Foloi sunset . . .
 |

. . . this was taken in the village of Foloi in the Peloponnese, Greece (not far from Ancient Olympia). We were making our way back home when it slowly appeared as we reached the top of the hill - I was totally overwhelmed by its beauty! I waited for the right moment to capture it and I can tell you it made my day - and night, for that matter! :)

I'm definitely a morning person . . .

. . . even more so when I'm travelling! Taking a stroll in the stillness of early morning and watching a small village or bustling city wake up is one of life's greatest pleasures! In the cool of this particular August morning, I was making my way around the narrow streets of the Old Port of Chania, Crete, pausing every so often to exchange a 'kalimera' with local vendors who were setting up for another scorching tourist-packed day of trade! This row of whiter-than-white and neatly pegged washing lined up against the rustic exterior of this building was just waiting for me (smiling almost!) to have its photo taken - I politely obliged! Clearly, I'm not the only early bird! :)

In all their blushing beauty . . .

Is there anything more inviting than the local fresh food market in a foreign city? Just look at that colour - an absolute feast for the senses . . . and they tasted divine! :)
