These are some black and white photographs from the pictures that I took from my fathers’ village of Akovos in Arcadia, Greece. He’s so proud! He was happy that I finally went there. It’s not an easy feat getting up there though.. In a earlier post I had published photographs of the Arcadian mountains and of a memorial service for a revolutionary battle that took place in the 19th Century.

Your’e very welcome! She’s such a sweet grandmother. The photo was taken right before I left at the last moment, but I just had to take a picture of her.
