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.
