Paleokastritsa - Corfu Island - Greece

Overhead the albatross hangs motionless upon the air

And deep beneath the rolling waves

In labyrinths of coral caves

The echo of a distant tide

Comes willowing across the sand

And everything is green and submarine.

And no-one called us to the land

And no-one knows the wheres or whys

But something stirs and something tries

And starts to climb towards the light

Strangers passing in the street

By chance two separate glances meet

And I am you and what I see is me

And do I take you by the hand

And lead you through the land

And help me understand the best I can

And no-one calls us to move on

And no-one forces down our eyes

And no-one speaks and no-one tries

And no-one flies around the sun

Cloudless everyday you fall upon my waking eyes

inviting and inciting me to rise

And through the window in the wall

Come streaming in on sunlight wings

A million bright ambassadors of morning

And no-one sings me lullabies

And no-one makes me close my eyes

And so I throw the windows wide

And call to you across the sky

Holiday in Greece - Metsovo - Day one

Lonely Mountains of Pindos.
Greece.
My first day starts with the sun rising in Metsovo, high above at an
altitude of 1.160m.
 
 

 

Amphitheatrically built between Grevena, Ioannina and Trikala,

Metsovo is one of the most mysterious cities of Greece, where the
locals speak Vlach, a language akin to Romanian.
The strong light comes out in a flash after clouds as if the gods are
shooting with arrows overhead …..almost blinding me.

But after an hour the sky is empty, blue, lighted by the sun ...



View from my room.

The town square of Metsovo.

Elderly people sit in front , all wearing jackets, flicking their rosary beads.
Close to them, high above in the lonely mountains, lonely shepherds
are watching the time passing by.
 

About the photos, these aren’t my greatest photographic achievements, but these are the better shots of what I’ve created so far using my Canon G9 &G11 PowerShot  travel Photo Camera.

That's all.
