I was up early on the morning of Tuesday, October 18, 2022 and was luck enough to capture the view from Spiliazeza, looking out toward Makronisos and Kea. The high winds were blowing across the sea, creating a lot of choppy water. While the big dark ominous looking clouds above gave a sense of perhaps […]
Back in September, we took the ferry from Lavrio and headed to the Island of Kea – which takes approximately an hour. We stayed five days on the island, and I managed to take quite a few photos of which I’ll share later. While on the island, we drove to the village of Ioulida (also

I still enjoy looking at the architecture of old (and not so old) churches, although over the years, I’ve rejected many of the faith teachings of them. Today, I visited the area of a remarkable Greek Orthodox Church located only about a ten minute or less drive away. I did not pull right up close

“What is that noise?” I asked myself as I headed towards the patio. I knew it was an airplane, but what could be flying so close and at low altitude? Thankfully I had my camera on the table with the 70-300mm lens as I realized there were two low flying aircraft, and flying right in

The other day, I was wandering around the front of the house, when I looked down and saw a gecko “sitting” very still on a step that leads to the pedestrian gate. At first, I was a bit taken a back by the site of him as he was much larger than other geckos I

It was a beautiful evening Sunday, May 15th, 2022. I was out starting the barbecue up and waiting for the charcoal to be ready for grilling the steaks purchased from an awesome butcher in Ataladi and watched as the moon rose in the still sunlit evening. I grabbed my camera and with the 50mm lens,

While trying to organize some older photos including “tagging,” I came across several from a day in September, 2020. We had driven from Nea Ionia out to Artemida (where there is a beach locally known as “Loutsa Beach”) and through Rafina. This area is located on the east shore of the Attica Prefecture, looking out

One day last August, I was in Exarchos (in the Phthiotis Prefecture) and woke up early in the morning and took some photos which I published here, Morning Walk In Exarchos Village. Over the Easter (Orthodox) weekend in 2022, I took quite a few evening walks, including one on Saturday, April 23rd. The weather was

On April 22, 2022, the Aegean Sea (or at least the portion of it including the Straight of Makronisos and the Petalioi Gulf) had a shiny almost glass-like or even “icy” look to it. It was very calm but the sun was hidden behind clouds when I looked out and saw the red-hulled ship plying

“It’s like night and day!” was an oft used idiom (I haven’t heard it in a while) to describe something that contrasted very differently from something else. For example, a teacher might say, “It’s like night and day how your marks have changed from last semester to this semester. Keep up the good work.” I’ve
