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.

Although cicadas favour open pine forests, this one "landed" on the balcony of my apartment saving me a trip to the forest to find it! Did it come to me to be photographed? I wonder!
