Lonely flute player 😦
It was a nice day for a trip down town. It was a warm week before the winter chill came back again.
Ήταν μια ωραία μέρα για μια βολτα στο κέντρο της πόλης. Ήταν μια ζεστή εβδομάδα λιγο πριν το κρύο ερθει ξανα.
We may not be getting a polar vortex or arctic blast in the Mediterranean, but this has to be the coldest winter that I’ve ever experienced in Greece.
I am counting down the days till spring. If it ever comes..
It’s October which means it’s time for some pomegranate picking. This delicious fruit originated in Iran and Northern India and has been cultivated in Greece since ancient times. It is a fruit that is very significant in Greek culture and mythology. In ancient Greece the fruit was called the ‘fruit of the dead’. It is the fruit of Persephone, who was trapped in the underworld was only allowed to eat Pomegranate seeds. Interesting enough the pomegranate is still associated with the dead. In Greece today the seeds are included in a dish called ‘Kolliva’. This dish is served on the day of the memorials of the deceased or on religious events like ‘Soul Saturday.’ It contains ingredients such as wheat, flour, sugar, raisins, walnuts etc.
The pomegranate fruit is also symbolic of abundance, fertility and good luck. It is categorized as a berry and it has anti-inflammatory effects, it can lower blood pressure and many other ailments. You can drink it as a juice or just eat the seeds.
At summers’ end
the music plays
through concrete streets
another season
another reason
to hold on.
The catepillars are feasting on decaying flowers. Nothing goes to waste in nature.

Oil and water may not mix, but for a photograph, they make a perfect combination.
Το λάδι και το νερό μπορεί να μην αναμειγνύονται, αλλά για μια φωτογραφία, κάνουν έναν τέλειο συνδυασμό.

A tall white rose in black and white. They bloomed so quickly after a mild Athenian winter.
Ένα ψηλό λευκό τριαντάφυλλο σε μαύρο και άσπρο φωτογραφία. Ανθισε τόσο γρήγορα μετά από το ήπιο χειμώνα της Αθήνας

It’s time for me to be more honest with the visitors of this blog. You see, it wasn’t me that was making these collages all this time..it was Angelo.
This is a huge revelation. Shocking!
Ήρθε η ώρα να είμαι πιο ειλικρινής με τους επισκέπτες αυτού του ιστολογίου. Βλέπετε, δεν ήμουν εγώ που έκανε αυτά τα κολάζ όλο αυτό το διάστημα.. ήταν Ο Αγγέλος.
Είναι μια τεράστια αποκάλυψη. Συγκλονιστικό!
