Paleokastritsa - Corfu Island - Greece









information here : http://www.paleokastritsaholidays.com/history.html

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.
