Two Bees and a Red Rose

A bee patiently waits his turn to pollinate.

A little Snowfall/Mια μικρη χιονoπτωση

The snow melted as quickly as it came here in Athens. No complaints about that; and now it’s just raining and raining..

Sudden Snowfall/Ξαφνική χιονόπτωση

The snow has melted now, but I think it might snow again…

Το χιόνι έχει λιώσει τώρα, αλλά νομίζω ότι θα χιονίσει πάλι …

Black & White Antiques

Just a few more photographs of the Antiques street in downtown Athens that I didn’t add before. Such a great place for a photographer. That street is like an explosion of sights and sounds that will make your head spin and your camera snap non-stop!

Daffodils/Nάρκισσους

Picture of daffodils layered over a painted background with writing.

they only see doom and gloom

and not the beauty

are we the fools who see the beauty?

The Soul/H Ψυχη

A white butterfly on a flower.

For the Japanese the white butterfly represents the soul of the departed one, so I thought that it would be appropriate to post this photograph of a white butterfly for a friend who recently lost a loved one..

Many Mirrors/Πολλούς Καθρέφτες

Surrounded by mirrors
On the streets
No passersby
Gazes at the looking-glass
Even the beautiful
Won’t gaze at the glass
Under the rays of the harsh day light
To avoid the truth
The frown that still lingers
A wrinkle that is permanent
The furrowed brow of anger and resentment
The reflection of a tear in the eye
But the glass doesn’t see the soul
Only the surface
It’s not a true reflection.

It’s A Little Kitsch!/Είναι Λίγο Κιτς!

A family walks by graffiti and merchandise.

The place to shop when WW3 happens..

Cover art of vintage records on the wall of a shop.

Religious icons, Santa Claus, & jewelery all in one shop window!

Where ever you go in any city you are bound to see a few things that are little off. I have seen some odd things during my walks in Athens. There are a few things that a tourist or even a local Greek would find ‘kitsch’ or odd and I love to capture these oddities with my camera..the stranger the better 😉
