My camera doesn’t get to rest very much. I couldn’t help but snap a few photographs of a street in Athens from inside of a restaurant. I just loved the lights and the reflections on the window.

The Bustling Monastiraki Square
People gather to watch a live musical act.
There is always a lot of action at the busy downtown Athens square called Monastiraki. The many tourists and natives, street artists and vendors all congregate at this square. I took this photographs only three weeks ago and it is still as vibrant as it was in the summer time.
The Begining & The End/Η Αρχη και το Τελος
Black and with photograph of Orthodox Greek church in the downtown area of Plaka, Athens.
“I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.“-Bible-Revelations
” ‘Eγώ είμαι το Άλφα και το Ωμέγα’, λέει Ο Θεός, ο Παντοκράτορας Κύριος, αυτός που αληθινά υπα’ρχει και υπήρχε και θα’ρθει.”-Βιβλος-Αποκαλυψις Ιωαννου
Trojan Horse/Δούρειος Ιππος
A smaller copy of the Trojan Horse in Mycenae.
An antiques shop close to the town of the ancient site of Mycenae in the Peloponnese.
‘Trojans, don’t trust this horse.
Whatever it is, I’m afraid of Greeks even those bearing gifts.’-Virgil
Stagnation At The Station/Στασιμότητα
Photographs of an old abandoned train in Greece.
“Iron rusts from disuse, stagnant water loses its purity, and in cold weather becomes frozen; even so does inaction sap the vigor of the mind.”
Beautiful Balconies/όμορφα μπαλκόνια
Photographs that I took of the beautiful Venetian and Neoclassical style buildings in the small town of Nafplio, Greece. Many of the buildings are getting a ‘facelift’ as you can see in the photographs, and it was nice to see some work being done on them, instead of letting the buildings fall into disrepair.
Nostalgia/Νοσταλγία
Old Greek folks at a park bench in Nafplio.
“Nostalgia, the vice of the aged. We watch so many old movies our memories come in monochrome.” Angela Carter (Novelist)
Small Town Shops/Ta mικρά καταστήματα της πόλης
And the ever-present Greek frozen yogurt shop.
I love this windmill!
Plenty of handmade items in this shop.
Bracelets, sling shots and umm..no further comment.
No relation..
A couple walks by a charming little restaurant called ‘restaurant’ 🙂
Small towns like Nafplio have some of the prettiest store fronts that you’ll ever see. I loved the architecture of many of the buildings here, and there were so many things to shoot!
Μικρές πόλεις όπως το Ναύπλιο έχει μερικά από τα ομορφότερα προσόψεις καταστημάτων. Μου άρεσε πολύ η αρχιτεκτονική του Ναφπλιου, και είναι ένα εξαιρετικό μέρος για να βγάλετε φωτογραφίες!
