Parental support

302_4690 [Parental support]

I was looking for flowers to photograph in Tritsis’ Park in Athens

when I saw this father to be helping her daughter

to keep her balance along the deserted railway lines. 

 

Symbolic of his parental support to the end of her life?

A wedding

IMG0595 [Evoia wedding]

On June 21, 2014 I had the pleasure and honor to attend the wedding of two much-loved friends - Iro and Aris - which took place on the tiny island of St. Nicholas in Northern Evoia.

It was "Unforgettable"; to describe it in one word!

We wish them a happy life.


Here follow a few pictures of the venue:

Afternoon coffee at the Acropolis

Seeing these young people enjoy their afternoon coffee on the rocks near the Acropolis, I hesitated to approach them with my camera in hand, as I might be considered an “intruder” but I was pleasantly surprised at how polite they were while they were giving me the permission to record the moment photographically. Thank you guys!

Oriental beauty in Athens

801_4544 [Oriental beauty]

It seems to be trendy these years for young couples from the Orient to choose the Greek islands or Athens as the location for their wedding ceremony. According to official reports in 2013 more than 1200 couples from abroad came to Greece for that purpose. In this photo a happy bride is posing in front of the Acropolis in an effort to combine her “dream day” with her “dream place” to visit. We wish them all a very happy life.

No, it’s neither a corpse nor Poseidon you see lying on the ground.
It’s my friend Nick trying to get the right angle for a picture of the Temple!

Halkidiki, one of my favorite vacation spots, with its beautiful beaches and romantic sunsets, has often been my photographic paradise.
