Once on Skyros ...

Once,

while on vacation on the Greek island of Skyros,

I was searching the beach for unique seashells to photograph.

 

I hadn't found anything more interesting than this lone shell,

so I snapped the photo and, slightly disappointed,

headed in a different direction while thinking of a change of plans.

A bit later,

I was surprised to see the setting sun casting

a long shadow of my body right in front of me.

 

I instantly forgot about the seascape I was planning to shoot

and once again, I pressed the button

capturing my giant shadow and letting the seascape wait.

 

Looking at my long shadow-legs,

I thought for a moment

that I was one of those admirable people

who can walk on stilts!

 

By the way, 

you don’t remember when it was the last time

you saw someone walking on stilts?

That’s OK. Watch the short video below to see them in action!
